Misunderstanding 1: Capsule is more easy to absorb when it is opened and taken?

Many people think that opening the capsule agent and taking the medicine powder or particles directly, the absorption effect will be better. In fact, this concept is wrong. Director Zou said that the small capsule shell actually has a great role.

It can ensure the stability of the medicine and make it difficult to weather, moisture or deterioration. Other capsule shells also have a special effect, such as the enteric capsule, which is insoluble when the stomach with a lower pH value is not dissolved. It is not dissolved until the intestinal tract is released and the drug is released; This capsule preparation can delay the release and absorption of the drug in the body, making the effect more stable. Therefore, unless there are special explanations or doctors, it is not recommended to open the capsule.

Misunderstanding 2: Just take the "three times a day" medicine before and after?

Do you often put the medication time before and after meals? Take the medicine twice a day and take it before and after dinner, and take the medicine three times a day before and after three morning and evening meals.

Director Zou said that some drugs can indeed follow the meal time, such as some hypoglycemic drugs, digestive system drugs, etc., but not all drugs are recommended to take it like this. For drugs, if these drugs are required to take 2 times a day, you should try to take it every 12 hours. If you need to take it three times a day, you should take it every 8 hours every 8 hours. Taking these drugs at intervals can ensure that the concentration of these drugs in the body is stable, and the efficacy of the drug is stable.

Misunderstanding 3: Adjust the dose by feeling by feeling?

For a long time, many patients have been treated for a long time, and they feel that they can treat themselves. For example, the blood pressure has been stable recently, so I take less antihypertensive drugs. Recently, I have eaten too much, and I add a blood lipids ... Director Zou said that this approach is extremely harmful. For chronic diseases, you need to take medicine for life, and you cannot stop or adjust the amount of medication by yourself. The irregularity of medication may lead to worsening and repeated diseases. Misunderstanding 4: Can you eat the just expired medicine?

Drugs must be tested before listing to determine how long the drug can maintain the trait stability under the right storage conditions. This time is the shelf life of the drug. All medicines, once the shelf life is over, can not be taken.

What needs to be noticed is that if the medicine is not opened, it can be used normally during the shelf life.如果药品已经开封，就是分情况而言了，对于单片独立包装的药物，依旧可以按照标识的保质期来使用；对于非单片独立包装的药品，例如瓶装的药品，开封6个月后，哪怕It has not been used in the shelf life, and it cannot be used.

Misunderstanding 5: Eat antibiotics when you have a cold?

Director Zou said that more than 90%of colds are caused by virus infections, and the main violations are the human nasopharyngeal mucosa. Viral colds are a self-limited disease that can gradually heal itself in 5-7 days. If you are unbearable during the cold, you can take some heat -relieving analgesic drugs to treat the right medicine, instead of taking antibiotic drugs. Antibiotic drugs mainly treat bacterial infections and have no treatment effect on colds caused by virus infections.
