Discontinue or not to grasp the three principles The disease is getting better, is to stop the drug or continue to take the remaining drugs are finished? Stopping the drug or not should be considered from the following three aspects: First, immediately stopping the drug can not wait: some symptomatic treatment of drugs, such as pain when the use of painkillers, fever when the use of antipyretic, insomnia when the use of sleeping pills, etc., generally used in the onset of symptoms, the symptoms can be discontinued after the disappearance of the symptoms. Second, slowly stopping the drug can not be anxious: some diseases are complex, easy to relapse after the cure, such as gastric and duodenal ulcer, epilepsy, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis and so on. This kind of disease in the cure, in order to consolidate the efficacy, to prevent recurrence, generally have to do a period of time to maintain the treatment. Third, long-term medication can not stop: for some diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, arrhythmia and mental illness, there is no specific drug, the drug can only treat the symptoms and can not cure the root cause. That is to say, after the use of drugs can reduce the symptoms, but once the drug is discontinued, the symptoms will return. Most patients with these diseases need to take medication for a long period of time, or even for the rest of their lives. Even if the condition improves, you should not take the initiative to stop taking the medicine, otherwise, the symptoms will not only rebound, but also aggravate than before taking the medicine.
