In the clinical work of dermatology, we often find that when the dermatologist prescribes the medication for treatment, the patient may come up to the doctor in a rage, holding the instructions and questioning the doctor, “Doctor, I’ve got eczema, why are you prescribing me an appetizer? You back it off!” , and some patients, especially after a week of treatment for allergic skin diseases, patients feel how to stop the medicine and then flare up again, can not understand that this doctor will not be able to see the disease, so change doctors, and even change hospitals. In fact, this is the problem of the disease itself, because you have this disease was not a few days to look good! Of course, the patient is not a doctor, there is no relevant knowledge, misunderstanding is a very normal reaction, so the doctor as long as the interview with the patient in advance to explain clearly to understand, generally will not happen in the above situation! But if the skin disease patients can popularize some of the basic knowledge about the treatment of dermatological diseases used in oral medication related words, will make the patient’s condition faster recovery, here we do some simple introduction: First: the time to take medication as much as possible fixed. Clinical work, often listen to the patient said “doctor, I get up late in the morning, so at noon to take medication” “doctor, I sometimes forget to eat busy, remember to make up”, “doctor, I am in the nightclubs! Doctor, I work in a nightclub and go to bed very late every day, so it may not be very convenient for me to take this medicine in the morning.” The lack of regularity in the timing of the patient’s medication actually has a great impact on the recovery of the disease. In fact, these situations can not be completely blamed on the patient, we may be able to do a better job if we remind the patient a little bit and ask the patient about the nature of his work when he visits the clinic. Here we need to talk about why it is best to take medication at a fixed time, “If this is going to be taken today at 8:00 a.m., 11:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m., the same thing will happen tomorrow, don’t make it 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 9:00 p.m. again tomorrow,” because only if the medication is taken at a fixed time, the concentration of the medication in the blood can be Constant, constant and sufficient blood concentration can play a better therapeutic effect. Second: Do not limit yourself to the instructions of the drug, if you are interested in this area, you should read the pharmacological mechanism. The indications in the instructions for the drug are generally only a list of the most important therapeutic diseases. Generally speaking, it is very normal for a drug to treat a variety of diseases, and it can be used in a lot of departments, but perhaps you have seen the instructions on the end of the indications for a few kinds of diseases. Different departments may utilize the drug for different mechanisms. It is normal for patients not to understand this aspect, and if they have questions, the doctor needs to be patient and explain. An example: “acute urticaria treatment process may require a drug, but this drug may cause corresponding side effects, the side effect is that the stomach may have an impact, this time the doctor to give you a gastric drugs to prevent or reduce the side effects of the stomach, this is a very standardized clinical use of medication, and is very common, but the patient may not understand, doctor, you! This to instructions do not say can treat hives ah! Or, I don’t have stomach problems, why are you prescribing me a stomach medicine!” Another example: “For example, cimetidine is a stomach medication, but it can also treat hives and other allergic diseases, but some patients just don’t understand, it said you gave me stomach medication for allergies, is it the wrong medicine? And you didn’t use any other medications that hurt the stomach!?” And so on, and even some patients simply do not eat after reading the instructions, only to eat the medicine he thought he could eat, so that the medication seriously affects the therapeutic effect of the disease, it is worthwhile for doctors and patients to think deeply! Third: Do not change the doctor’s dose of medication. In this day and age, make this kind of low-level mistake is relatively rare, but I also often see, for example, some patients he hopes to get well faster, obviously you let him eat once a day of medicine he ate three times, obviously you let him eat a capsule at a time he ate three, I was when I heard of these situations, I was scared myself! What if something happens? Blame me or blame him! Fourth: the correct understanding of the course of treatment. Dermatology clinic patients, chronic diseases accounted for a very large proportion of people, people are the same, all hope that once the medicine is taken, the disease will be cured immediately! In fact, many diseases are not possible, such as eczema patients, 6-8 weeks of consecutive visits is very normal, acute allergy patients, 2-3 weeks of continuous medication is also very common. It is also not uncommon for patients with chronic urticaria to require medication for years! The reason why I mention this course of treatment is because outpatients are very anxious, taking a week’s worth of medication and then anxious, doctor, I’ve been seeing this patient for a week how come it’s still not better? Although we sometimes painstakingly to explain to the patient, sometimes he will still think that should be changed to another doctor, in fact, the replacement of the doctor with the drugs used by the previous doctor is basically no difference, the patient is well, and then the disease is well, the patient will think that the second doctor will see the patient! These situations are very common in the clinic, we doctors will not blame the patients, but we need to make the truth of all these things public! Let the majority of patients in the face of a skin disease is a rational understanding!
