Universal plaster?

In daily life, many people have pain in the neck, shoulders, and waist, and the first way to pop out of their brains is "plaster".

As a drug that is often used in life, the plaster is numerous because of its easy preservation and convenient advantages. As a result, many people regardless of the three seven twenty -one, as long as they hurt, they will post themselves.

However, is there really such an all -around plaster with a pain?

In this issue of medical Lin Zhengzhu, let's talk to you about "plaster"!

1

What are the benefits of plaster?

As a large family in the pharmaceutical industry, the type of plaster can be said to be a variety of.

According to composition, commonly used plasters can be divided into Chinese medicine, non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs, hormones and analgesic.

No matter what type of plaster, it is composed of the back lining layer, transparent agent and effective ingredients.

Back lining allows the active ingredients to keep in close contact with the affected area. The transparent agent has an effective ingredient into the affected area, while the active ingredients can achieve pain relief or other treatment purposes through different mechanisms.

Through this way of administration, the advantages are mainly the following two points:

Focus on

No need to take orally, take effect fast

Plasia posted on the affected area avoids the metabolic process that oral drugs need to experience, and reduce the stimulation of oral drugs to gastrointestinal tract. Plasine will not only work fast, but also the burden on the human body will be smaller.

Focus on

Stable and lasting efficacy

Plasine stickers are in the affected area, and the drug concentration of the affected area can be maintained in the prescribed time, and it can play a role for a long time.

Patients are easy and convenient to use without worrying about the effect of forgetting to take medicine.

Although there are many benefits of plaster, not everyone is effective. Many people have such questions when using:

It is also painful. Why do others use plasters and use it? I use it but it is useless?

why

I have no effect with plaster?

Focus on

Plaster effect varies from pain due to pain

Plasine is effective through the skin penetration into the affected area. The pain of shallow tissue fixed in the pain can have a good effect.

For internal organs such as kidney stones, systemic pain in severe osteoporosis, etc., plaster cannot play a good role.

Take common orthopedic disease as an example. Let's briefly talk about some cases that are suitable for plaster:

Suitable for plaster

1. Blind damage;

2. Long -term desk work causes cervical and lumbar spine strain;

3. Pain caused by cold and dampness in the affected area, such as blowing air conditioners in summer, causing neck pain, cold in winter due to cooling, knee pain, etc.

This type of pain caused by acute and chronic injuries is often limited and superficial, which is very suitable for treatment through plaster.

There are also some cases that plaster does not have a good pain relief effect.

Not suitable for plaster,

1. Pain caused by compression of the nerve. If common lumbar disc herniation, pain caused by nerve compression, this pain can be radiated to the entire limb, and sometimes it is accompanied by numbness and sensory abnormalities. The plaster may not be able to start up It's a good effect.

2. The long -term chronic systemic pain caused by osteoporosis and bone destruction, which only acts on the plaster, does not play a better relief effect.

How should the plaster be used?

When our situation is suitable for plaster, we are also particular about use.

We will tell you with the most common types of plaster:

Where should the plaster be posted? How long does it take? What should I pay attention to?

the first sort

Rubber paste

(Meaning of rubber stickers plaster)

Suitable for use in a smooth -skin activity area

This kind of plaster is a rubber lining layer. The advantage is that the adhesion is high and can be tightly fitted with the skin. It is suitable for elbow and knee joints with smooth skin and large active range, but it is also because of large viscosity and is not suitable for dense parts of the body.

May contain stimulating ingredients, pay attention to avoid damage positions

Because some of these plasters contain ingredients such as Nanxing and Wu Tou, which are relatively stimulating to the skin. Before use, see the ingredients in the instructions. During the use, if the skin is swollen, swollen, rash, and itching, the drug should be discontinued in time. Essence

Each time the plaster is used for 8 hours, if there is discomfort at any time, pay attention to avoid skin damage parts when used.

Second category

Babu cream

In

The adhesion of the Papu paste is not as good as the rubber paste, and it is not easy to cause the skin to tear the wound. It can be pasted on the flat back and the dense hair.

If you want to stick to the parts of the knee and ankle, you can use a tape to reinforce.

The use time of this kind of plaster is generally maintained at about 8 hours.

Third category

Temperature

The characteristics of this kind of plaster are that during the process of use, the function of the action will continue to heat up to improve the blood circulation and alleviate muscle spasm, which is suitable for cold and damp pain caused by humid and cold.

In addition to the precautions of the use of first and second plasters, this plaster also needs to pay attention to avoid long -term use and cause burns.

How long is it better for a plaster?

The longer the time, the better?

No!

Generally, the use time for each plaster is maintained at about 12 hours. One plaster is used for too long, which not only cannot increase the efficacy, but also causes other problems due to long -term opaque.

Patients with fragile skin are easy to swell, itching, and rash, and they also need to take measures such as shortening the medication time, using medicine once the next day, and skin care after tearing the plaster. Kind tips

No matter what type of plaster, you need to choose with your own actual situation. Before use, you must read the instructions carefully!

If the pain is not relieved after using the plaster, you still need to go to the hospital for systematic treatment in time.

The analgesic and hormone plasters have great side effects on blindly, and may occur in drug dependence, skin hyperplasia, infection, etc., and even have a whole body change like "full moon face" and "buffalo back", so it is not not It is recommended to use patients by themselves.

Plaster can relieve pain for a while

But not completely dependent

Although the plaster is good, it must be used scientifically.

Plasma is not a "one for all".

For some acute, occasional muscle strain pain, the use of plaster can indeed "medicine to get rid of the disease" to relieve the painful pain.

But for some chronic pain, if the root cause is not eradicated, it may still occur repeatedly.

Focus on

Right or wrong cause, limited role

For the pain caused by the imbalance of the bone, simply use plaster to do "symptomatic" treatment, but it can only improve local inflammation and relieve pain. The overall imbalance in the state of muscles and bones is incomparable, and it will even cover the condition because of long -term medication.

Focus on

Treatment and care, so that there is no worries

For long -term, repeated neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain, plasters are one aspects of measures. In addition, you still need to go to the hospital for specialty treatment to clarify the condition. At the same time, you can get the best efficacy from the treatment and maintenance. Intersection
