is taking medicine ineffective? It may be that the water delivered to the server was used incorrectly.
Indeed, the water used to deliver the medicine has a non negligible effect on the efficacy. For example, the following drugs can be taken with water, which is more helpful to give play to their efficacy.
1 kidney tonic Chinese medicine, light saline delivery
Liuwei Dihuang pill has the function of Tonifying Kidney Yin, which is often used for dizziness, tinnitus, weakness of waist and knee, night sweat, spermatorrhea and other kidney yin deficiency diseases.
Taking Liuwei Dihuang Pill with light saline can make it work better. Other Chinese patent medicines suitable for delivery with light saline include Dabuyin pill, Zuogui pill, Qiju rehmannia pill, Zhibai rehmannia pill, Sishen pill, etc., which are mostly Chinese patent medicines for treating kidney deficiency.
2 honey water, with some Chinese patent medicine, works well
Honey has the functions of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, moistening the intestines and relieving constipation. For Chinese patent medicines that treat lung dryness cough, yin deficiency cough, habitual constipation and other diseases, it is better to take honey water. Take 1-2 tablespoons of honey, add it to warm water, and mix it well to take Ma Ren pills, Lily gold fixing pills, etc.
3 cyclosporine , delivered with milk
Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant commonly used in clinic. It is a strong fat soluble drug. Oral absorption is slow and incomplete. Taking cyclosporine while eating can promote drug absorption. Compared with water-soluble food, fat soluble food has better effect. Milk is a high-fat food. Taking it together with cyclosporine can promote its absorption and improve the blood concentration of drugs.
some foods enhance drug efficacy
In addition to the water for taking the medicine, what food you eat will also affect the effectiveness of the medicine to a certain extent. Just as many drugs have dietary taboos, some foods can in turn improve the efficacy of drugs.
1 eat some oil, vitamins are easier to absorb
With the popularity of the concept of healthy diet, less oil and salt has become the cooking principle of many people. However, when taking vitamins A, D, e and K, you can’t match them with a diet that is too light.
These vitamins are fat soluble vitamins, which need fat as a medium to be well absorbed. Adding some oil to meals or eating some fat foods, such as fried dough sticks, meat and nuts, is more conducive to their dissolution and absorption.
However, it should be noted that when taking insect repellents, you should eat less fat foods, because most insect repellents are fat soluble drugs, which only play a local therapeutic role in the intestine. If you eat too much food with high fat content, it is easy to cause the drug to be absorbed prematurely and reduce the efficacy.
2 take diuretics and eat more potatoes
Furosemide, thiazide and other diuretics taken by some hypertensive patients can easily cause a large amount of potassium to be discharged through urine, resulting in potassium deficiency, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, arrhythmia and other symptoms.
When taking such drugs, blood potassium should be measured regularly. At ordinary times, people should also eat foods rich in potassium, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, taros and other potatoes, bananas, citrus, lemon and other fruits, spinach, mustard blue, water spinach and other green leafy vegetables.
Since potassium mainly exists in cells, it will dissolve and precipitate after tissue destruction, so some foods rich in potassium can be boiled into soup for consumption, and the effect of potassium supplementation is better. In addition, excessive sodium, alcohol and sugar are easy to hinder the absorption of potassium, so intake should be reduced.
3 take insect repellents and eat coarse fiber food
Yellow rice wine is pungent and warm in nature. It has the effects of warming meridians, dispersing wind and cold, and acting as a medicine. Taking yellow rice wine together with cold medicine can alleviate the cold; When taken together with heat medicine, it can dredge meridians and activate collaterals.
When taking it, generally use 15-50 ml of yellow rice wine to warm it. If it is used to dispel cold and dehumidify, disperse meridians and activate collaterals, you can use yellow rice wine to take the Huoluo pill to clear meridians and activate collaterals; It is used to promote blood circulation, remove stasis, reduce swelling and pain. It can be used as a traumatology medicine Qilishan with yellow rice wine.
these kinds of water hinder drug efficacy
Different water quality has different effects on drug efficacy. The following kinds of water may hinder the absorption and effect of drugs.
1 tea and medicine distribution
Many people know that it is best not to take medicine with tea, because tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which can precipitate in combination with metal ions, alkaloids, enzymes and so on, affecting drug absorption.
However, some drugs can be taken in tea, such as vitamins, diuretics, and lipid-lowering drugs. These drugs themselves have the functions of excitement, diuresis and blood lipid lowering. Taking medicine with tea can increase its effect.
2 mineral water is better not to be used.
Mineral water is more and more common in our life, but there are some minerals and metal ions, such as calcium, which also have an impact on some drugs. The instruction notes that tetracycline antibiotics, alendronate sodium and other drugs are forbidden to be taken together with calcium preparations, so try not to take them with mineral water.
3 disable juice delivery
Recently, it was found that orange juice interferes with some drugs metabolized by the liver, which can hinder their metabolism and thus enhance toxicity. For example, statins that regulate blood lipids and celiprolol that treats heart disease.
Therefore, it is not only forbidden to take the above drugs with fruit juice, but also try not to drink fruit juice during taking medicine.
six kinds of drugs should be taken with hot water.
Usually, people are used to taking medicine with boiled water, but some people like to take medicine with hot water above 50 ~ 60 ℃. Little do we know that some drugs will react physically or chemically when they encounter heat, which will affect the efficacy.
1 digestive AIDS
For example, pepsin mixture, trypsin, multienzyme tablets, yeast tablets, etc. all contain digestive enzymes. Enzyme is an active protein, which coagulates and denatures when it is heated. The Pharmacopoeia of the people’s Republic of China points out that “pepsin is unstable in the presence of heat, and will become invalid when it is above 70 degrees Celsius”.
2 vitamins
For example, vitamin C is unstable, and it is easy to be reduced and destroyed after encountering heat, thus losing its efficacy.
3 cough syrups
Jizhi syrup, compound licorice mixture, Milian Chuanbei Pipa cream, etc. are a class of drugs prepared by dissolving cough and anti-inflammatory ingredients in syrup or extract.
After the patient takes it, the syrup or extract covers the surface of the inflamed pharyngeal mucosa to form a protective film, which is convenient for quickly controlling cough and alleviating symptoms. If you take it with hot water, it is easier to reduce the viscosity of the syrup and affect the efficacy of the protective film.
4 live vaccines
For example, polio sugar pills contain live attenuated polio vaccines, which should be taken with cold boiled water, otherwise the vaccines will be inactivated and will not be able to immunize the body and prevent infectious diseases.
5 (including active fungi)
Lactozyme contains Lactobacillus active, probiotics contains Bacillus licheniformis, mumi AI contains Streptococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis, and synbiotic (children’s Probiotic granule) contains Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium.
In addition, yeast tablets, Lizhu Changle and other drugs contain active bacteria for disease prevention and treatment. Active bacteria will be destroyed when exposed to heat.
6 heat clearing Chinese patent medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heat clearing agents should be used to treat dry heat syndrome, such as fever and excessive heat, and hot water should not be used at this time. Taking it with cold boiled water can increase the efficacy of heat clearing drugs.
