As a traditional way of medicine, Chinese patent medicine has existed in Chinese history for thousands of years. They are widely used in the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine due to their unique pharmacological effects and efficacy. However, with the development of modern medicine, the use of proprietary Chinese medicine also faces some problems.
This article will focus on the definition, usage and precautions of proprietary Chinese medicines, so as to help readers better understand and use proprietary Chinese medicines correctly.
First of all, we need to clarify the definition of proprietary Chinese medicine. Proprietary Chinese medicine refers to the solid, semi-solid or liquid preparation made of Chinese herbal medicines, which has certain pharmacological effects and curative effects.
Compared with Western medicine, Chinese patent medicine pays more attention to overall conditioning and balance, and has lower toxicity and better safety. However, as the pharmacological effects of proprietary Chinese medicines are milder and the efficacy is slower, there are some details that need to be paid attention to when using proprietary Chinese medicines.
Secondly, we need to use proprietary Chinese medicines correctly. First of all, it is very important to choose the right Chinese patent medicine for you. Different proprietary Chinese medicines are suitable for different diseases and symptoms, so advice from a doctor or pharmacist should be sought before use. Secondly, the correct dosage is also the key to using proprietary Chinese medicines.
Too much of a dose may result in an overdose of the drug, and too little of a dose may not be effective. Therefore, dose adjustment should be made according to the advice of a doctor or pharmacist when using proprietary Chinese medicines. In addition, the duration of use of proprietary Chinese medicines also needs to be noted.
Some proprietary Chinese medicines require long-term use to achieve the best results, while others only require short-term use. Therefore, when using proprietary Chinese medicines, the time of use should be determined according to the condition of the disease and the doctor's advice.
In addition to the proper use of proprietary Chinese medicines, we also need to pay attention to some details. First of all, the quality and quality of proprietary Chinese medicines are very important. Due to the complexity of the production process of proprietary Chinese medicines, there are certain quality differences. Therefore, when purchasing proprietary Chinese medicines, you should choose regular pharmacies or hospitals to avoid buying counterfeit and shoddy products.
Secondly, attention should also be paid to the preservation of proprietary Chinese medicines. Some proprietary Chinese medicines need to be protected from light, moisture and cryopreservation to maintain their efficacy and efficacy. Therefore, when using proprietary Chinese medicines, you should read the instructions carefully and keep them as required. In addition, the adverse reactions of proprietary Chinese medicines also need our attention.
Although the toxicity of proprietary Chinese medicine is relatively small, there are still certain adverse reactions. Therefore, you should pay close attention to your own physical reaction when using proprietary Chinese medicines, and stop taking the medicine immediately and consult a doctor if you are not feeling well.
