1, Chinese medicine capsule has good curative effect.
It is understood that at present, the more popular Chinese medicine capsules are Pearl powder capsules, Gastrodia elata powder capsules, Placenta Hominis powder capsules, Cordyceps sinensis capsules, tortoise plastron powder capsules and so on. But is it really effective to take such homemade capsules?
Traditional Chinese medicine can be divided into pills, powders, ointments and pills, because each medicine has its own characteristics. Some are effective only after being fried, some are suitable for being taken after being made into honeyed pills, and some are most suitable for being taken as powder. For example, Chinese medicine tablets are all made by decocting active ingredients, mixing fine powder or extract with appropriate excipients, and then processing and pressing according to different doses. On the basis of decocting the effective components, the powder is also made into granules. When taking it, just pour boiling water into it and it will become a small bowl of soup immediately.
At present, although Cordyceps capsules are available in pharmacies, they also have complicated processing and manufacturing processes. It's not simply grinding Cordyceps into capsules, and you can't imitate it at will. Moreover, Cordyceps sinensis is suitable for soup. As long as three or four grams of Cordyceps sinensis are stewed in old duck soup or chicken soup, the effective components of Cordyceps sinensis can be absorbed to the maximum extent, thus achieving the purpose of strengthening the body. In addition, such as old ginseng, it is suitable for slicing after boiling; American ginseng is suitable for soaking in water. Making capsules after grinding is actually a waste of these precious medicinal materials.
Gastrodia elata is a good medicine for treating hypertension, so many people will grind it into powder and put it into capsules. But the simple gastrodia elata powder can't solve all the problems, and the absorption is not good enough. Moreover, Gastrodia elata is mainly suitable for hypertension with hyperactivity of liver yang, which can moderately relieve dizziness symptoms. Not suitable for all patients with hypertension.
In addition, coix seed, placenta hominis, pearls, etc. It is also a popular choice for people to grind and take. This traditional Chinese medicine is a slow tonic, which can be ground into powder and put into capsules, which is convenient for swallowing and full release and absorption. But pay attention to whether it is suitable for your own physique. If we feel unwell, we should stop taking medicine at once.
Therefore, you must consult the relevant doctor when taking Chinese medicine for nourishing, otherwise it may even run counter to your expectations.
2. It is not good to take medicine and add milk
Milk belongs to alkaline enteric-coated tablets, which are easy to dissolve early.
Enteric-coated tablets are designed to dissolve in the intestine, which can resist gastric acid. Enteric-coated tablets begin to dissolve and be absorbed by the human body after entering the intestinal environment, and milk is an alkaline substance. Enteric-coated tablets encounter milk, which is easy to dissolve in advance due to the change of pH value, and the efficacy is naturally not as good as expected.
Constipation medicine mixed with milk is easy to hurt the stomach.
For example, the combination of bisacodyl, an irritant laxative used to relieve constipation, and milk may cause the above problems. The premature dissolution of drugs not only fails to protect the stomach, but also easily irritates the stomach. In this way, it will not protect the stomach, but will easily hurt it.
Eat dairy products two hours after taking the medicine.
In addition, milk also contains elements such as calcium, magnesium and iron. If it is combined with some drugs, it is easy to form insoluble salts, which will interfere with the efficacy and drug absorption. If you want to enjoy yogurt, chilled milk, milk, or other dairy products, it is recommended to eat these things one hour before taking the medicine. If you have taken medicine, it is recommended to eat dairy products two hours after taking medicine. Before taking medicine, it is also best to consult a pharmacist to find out what effect dairy products may have on drug absorption and efficacy.
It is ideal to take medicine with boiling water.
Not only milk, juice and tea may also interfere with the efficacy. Director Huang explained that grapefruit may interfere with the secretion of enzymes in the liver, resulting in the liver not being able to metabolize drug components smoothly. At this time, if the drug concentration is too high, it may cause danger. Or because there is tannic acid in tea, it will also interfere with the efficacy. Taking medicine with boiling water is the best choice. When taking medicine, avoid taking it with tea, coffee, fruit juice, wine, milk and soybean milk.
