Especially for some special drugs, we should be more cautious. Betel nut, Trichosanthes root and boat-fruited Sterculia, three very common Chinese medicines, must be more careful.
First, betel nut
This is because betel nut contains hydrolyzed arecoline, which is a serious threat to the kidney. Many people think that eating too much betel nut may damage the mouth.
But in fact, eating too much can also be a serious danger to the kidneys. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines containing this kind of Chinese medicine mainly include Xiaoer Zhibao Pill, Ji Hua Oral Liquid, Sizheng Pill, Fennel Orange Pill, etc. Those who have children at home must pay attention.
Second, Trichosanthes kirilowii
Trichosanthes root is commonly used in Xiaoer Qingfei Pill, Xiaoer Huadu Powder and Niuhuang Xiaoyan Tablet, and it is also a very common medicine for children, which contains Trichosanthes root.
If Trichosanthes root is used excessively, it will cause kidney problems and liver and kidney damage, because this drug contains nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity.
Third, boat-fruited Sterculia
Boat-fruited Sterculia is often used by people to soak in water, which is considered as a sharp weapon to clear fire, but it also has nephrotoxicity. Long-term use will cause kidney damage, and it contains Chinese patent medicine of boat-fruited Sterculia.
It mainly includes Jinguo buccal tablets, Hou Qing Liyan granules and Huangshi Xiangsheng pills. It is not difficult to find that the more common drugs contain these common Chinese patent medicines, the easier it is for everyone to take them lightly.
For the sake of safety, it is suggested that we should be more cautious and control the dosage and time when taking Chinese patent medicines containing the above three kinds of Chinese medicines or taking them directly.
