Health for All says
In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to health, and the use of drugs has become one of the focuses of people's attention. However, many people do not understand the reasonable relationship between drugs and drinking, and there are even some misunderstandings. Seeking the experience and teachings of TCM and understanding the contraindications of the pairing of medicine and alcohol will help us use the medicine correctly and avoid the occurrence of adverse reactions.
When it comes to the issue of medicine and wine pairing, the first thing that comes to most people's minds is "cephalosporin wine pairing". Needless to say, cephalosporin antibiotics are contraindicated when taken at the same time as alcohol, because alcohol can interfere with the metabolism and excretion process of drugs, reduce the efficacy of drugs, and even lead to the accumulation of drugs in the body, causing *** In addition to cephalosporin, there are some other common drugs that should not be used at the same time as alcohol.
First of all, Chinese medicine, the taboo of Chinese medicine and wine cannot be ignored. As the ancient Chinese medicine said: "Medicine should not be combined with wine, wine is a warm and relieving heavy sexual object, and if you take righteousness, the medicine will dissolve less, and if you can't place it, it will be red and rotten."Medicine is a cold thing, but also harmful to the body's righteousness, people who are greedy for alcohol should be full of wine, and catching the cold is like a cold corpse. It can be seen that the reason why Chinese medicine and wine are contradictory is because of their sexual orientation. A typical example is the combination of Coptis chinensis and wine, drinking alcohol will reduce the heat-clearing and detoxification effect of Coptis chinensis and affect the ** effect.
This is followed by antihypertensive drugs such as nitroglycerin and calcium antagonists. These drugs are mainly used for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and their mechanism of action is similar to that of alcohol. If you drink alcohol at the same time, it will cause excessive drop in blood pressure, and even cause serious consequences such as fainting and coma.
In addition to cephalosporin, Chinese medicine and antihypertensive drugs, there are some other drugs that should not be taken at the same time as alcohol. Especially those drugs with sedative, hypnotic, antidepressant and other effects, such as benzodiazepines, fluoxetine, etc. When these drugs are taken at the same time as alcohol, they may increase the central inhibitory effect and aggravate the adverse effects of the drugs.
In addition, certain antibiotics such as quinolones, erythromycin, lincomycin, etc. should not be consumed with alcohol. These antibiotics have a certain damaging effect on the liver, and concomitant ingestion with alcohol will aggravate this damage and increase hepatotoxicity.
In short, the pairing of medicine and alcohol needs to be cautious. Alcohol intake can affect the efficacy and safety of the drug and even lead to adverse reactions. Therefore, when using drugs, we should be wary of the incompatibility between these drugs and alcohol, and avoid the production of improper alcohol.
