Every time I see a clinic, patients and friends have a lot of questions about taking medicine and the precautions to take medicine, in order to facilitate your treatment, now do the following explanation on things related to taking medicine. I. The method of taking Chinese medicine With the rapid development of society, the role of Chinese medicine for people is gradually highlighted, but the traditional method of boiling medicine is gradually forgotten by people, every time I see the clinic there are always many patients will repeatedly ask me how to boil these Chinese medicines in the end, how to make the effect better and so on. Due to the time, I will tell you once every time, but there are still many people who do not remember, so now I am telling you how to boil Chinese medicine and eat Chinese medicine. 1. Traditional Chinese medicine decoction and eating method Traditional Chinese medicine decoction is the Chinese medicine that you bring back to boil, and now the Chinese medicine decoction in the hospital is packed in small plastic bags as shown in the picture below. Patients usually have the following questions after they get the medicine, which will be answered one by one: ① Doctor, what kind of jar can I use to boil the medicine? In general, we recommend that patients use ceramic jars to boil their medicine, because they will be heated more evenly and will have better results. Remember: it is better not to use aluminum, copper or iron jars. ②Should I wash it? How much water should I put in? First of all, Chinese herbs do not need to be rinsed, usually soaking for about half an hour before boiling is sufficient, and the soaking time can be extended in winter when the temperature is lower. In general, after adding water and pressing the herbs lightly with your hands, the water surface can be about 3cm above the surface of the herbs when decocting the first time, and 1cm above the surface of the herbs when decocting the second time. ③Do you use high heat or low heat? How long should I boil it for? Generally, Chinese herbal medicines are boiled with martial fire (high fire) first, then cooked with civil fire (low fire) for about 25-30 minutes. Some tonic herbs take a little longer, usually boiling on a high fire and then on a low fire for about 30 minutes. The second decoction can be cooked for about 10 minutes less than the first one. How many times a day should I take it? How much should I take? When should I take it? Chinese herbal medicine is taken twice a day. Pour the two boiled herbal medicines together, and then eat them in two portions, about 200 ml at a time. For the time to take the medicine, we generally recommend patients to take the Chinese medicine at 9:00 am and 4:00 pm if time allows. If time does not allow then it does not matter if it is a little earlier or later, but it is better to take the medicine at the same time every day (for example, 7:00 am and 6:00 pm today, 10:00 am and 9:00 pm tomorrow, this is not possible). For patients with a not so good stomach it is recommended to take the medicine after meals; while patients with prostatitis and prostate enlargement are advised not to take herbal medicine at night before going to bed. Note: Some special Chinese medicines need to be decocted first or decocted separately, we usually write it out in the medical record book, so I hope you will look at the medical record book after you go back. First decoction: This means that some herbal medicines need to be put into the jar and decocted before other medicines are put in, usually about 20 minutes is recommended. Separate decoction: It is because the active ingredients of some precious herbs are easily adsorbed by the dregs of other medicines, so they need to be decocted separately, and then poured inside other medicines together after decoction. In fact, some patients are still unable to boil their own medicine for various reasons, so what should they do in this case? Don’t worry, there is absolutely no way to delay your treatment because you can’t boil the medicine. Now there are also ultra-micro granules of Chinese medicine (the bag marked with the word CW). The question is again, ① How should I take this kind of Chinese medicine? There are generally two ways for you to choose: ① Unpack all the small plastic bags inside a bag, then mix all the medicine evenly and divide it into two equal portions and take one in the morning and one in the evening (almost 200 ml of boiling water at a time) ② Unpack all the small plastic bags inside a bag, then mix all the medicine evenly and make a one-time infusion (about 400 ml) and take it in two portions (remember to add a little hot water when you take the medicine for the second time). Add a little hot water, do not eat cold because of greedy cold oh). The time to take the medicine is the same as the time to take the decoction of Chinese medicine. Second, the method of taking Chinese and Western medicines and precautions Due to the needs of some diseases, we sometimes prescribe a little Chinese and Western medicines to patients appropriately. Taking Chinese and Western medicines is not as complicated as taking traditional Chinese medicine, generally there is a list after taking the medicine, about how many times a day and how much to take each time the list is written clearly. But there are two drugs that must be accounted for. 1, sertraline hydrochloride tablets As you can see the instructions, it is not written on the instructions is the treatment of premature ejaculation, but you will find a closer look at the side effects inside the delayed ejaculation this, now male doctors use it to treat premature ejaculation, many patients feedback has proved that this treatment effect is very good. Note: Although the treatment effect is very good, but a small number of patients may have some side effects, including dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, limb weakness, drowsiness or sleeplessness (so patients are advised to take a piece before going to bed at night, do not drive after eating), the general side effects will become lighter and lighter, so if one or more of these situations occur you should not worry, if it is very serious and affects your life If the side effects are serious and affect your life, stop taking it, and if you feel that the side effects are mild and do not affect you, continue to take it. Of course, we still hope that the side effects will not occur in you. 2, cialis (tadalafil) This is used to treat impotence (penile erectile dysfunction), usually half an hour after dinner to take 1 tablet (5mg). Many patients will ask whether Xiali is the same as Viagra, we tell you certainly not, Viagra is eaten once a tube, and Xiali with Chinese medicine together with the treatment of impotence can achieve the purpose of the cure, only to stop the medication needs to stop according to our method, so I hope that patients do not take their own medication, discontinue the medication, if you see a doctor must trust the doctor. The actual food and drink during the period of medication: you must not drink, you must not drink, you must not drink (the important thing to say three times), if it is during the preparation for pregnancy, it is also best not to smoke, bamboo shoots, chicken (rooster), carp, carp fish, beef, mutton and dog meat and seafood food should not eat.
