Often in the central television commercials to see “detoxification capsule” ads, heard the words “clean bowel, detoxification,” the heart is always not a good feeling. In my mind, this is again misleading people, and again in the money to harm people. Because the advertisements leave people with the impression that are good, and no one let people know that there is a long time to take (the shortest in more than 1 week) after the emergence of the situation is not good. As an anorectal specialist, I have seen too many patients because of the hope of “detoxification”, “beauty” of the good intentions and purchase, take the drug, ultimately leading to not taking the drug does not defecate, the formation of drug dependence, intractable constipation. Because do not take the drug does not defecate, the first change a defecation drug is still effective, gradually the effect becomes worse, change all the defecation drug, and finally all day for the defecation and worry. This is a typical example of how good intentions can lead to troublesome results. This is because the detoxification capsule in the role of laxative is mainly rhubarb, in the seventh edition of the textbook of Chinese medicine colleges and universities, said that “this product is a strong attack on the product, easy to injure the positive qi, such as non-substantial evidence, should not be presumptuous; this product is bitter cold, easy to injure the stomach qi, the spleen and stomach weakness, be careful with it; the nature of the sedative, and good to activate the blood and remove blood stasis, therefore, women should be avoided in pregnancy, menstruation, breast-feeding period. ” Rhubarb, senna, aloe vera and other drugs containing anthraquinone ingredients cannot be taken for a long time. Taking them for a long time will destroy the nerve endings of the intestinal wall, leading to a decrease or even disappearance of the intestinal sensibility to fecal stimuli, and ultimately leading to the weakening or even disappearance of the intestinal function of self-defecation, which has to be taken every day. Chenzhou City First People’s Hospital South Hospital Anus and Intestinal Zhang Shengfu Although there are many objective reviews on the Internet, recognizing the side effects of detoxification capsule. However, most of the answers in Baidu know, it seems to be intentional in praise of the drug, Baidu encyclopedia in the corresponding entries did not mention any side effects. The author believes that any drug has indications, especially drugs, drugs, is not to be taken casually, is not casually expand the indications, or marketing. Gentlemen love money, take the right way, as a business, there should be a certain degree of social responsibility, making money should not harm the interests of the masses as the basis! The State Drug Administration, as a government authority, should be careful when approving an OTC drug. The detoxification capsule this drug is harsh, after taking the drug has immediate and long-term adverse reactions, and even dependence on the drug, it will be included in the OTC drugs appropriate? I also understand that the advertisements of detoxifying capsules have been penalized by the relevant departments for violating the advertising law. This shows that both producers and advertisers are deliberately misleading the public in order to make money.
