Beware that taking medicine in this way can harm your liver

  Several common causes of liver damage may increase 1, drug overdose: This is a common reason for liver damage caused by not taking drugs according to the drug instructions, a single large amount of drugs, over the number of times to take drugs, long-term use of drugs are common drug overdose, and some people will have “more to eat, faster”, “I have eaten, the In fact, it is this practice that has harmed many people. The most common clinical cold medicine, sleeping pills, asthma medicine, painkillers, antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis drugs, etc. are most likely to be overdosed, and are also the most common liver damage drugs. There are many such examples around us, cold, eat not seen good, immediately take more or more times, and some people simply change the kind of drugs or several drugs; especially in remote and backward areas, paracetamol is a panacea, no matter what disease eat this drug, in fact, more than 6 tablets in 24 hours may lead to liver damage; and the correct practice is to use drugs before carefully read the drug instructions, do not understand ask the professional Physician or pharmacist, no instructions do not take.  2.Multiple drugs taken together: We all know that cephalosporins do not drink alcohol, because in recent years the media has reported many examples of death, so many people really eat cephalosporins do not drink alcohol, but began to drink alcohol when taking penicillin, tinidazole or other drugs, not knowing that these drugs may occur disulfiram-like reactions. Many elderly people take medicines like meals, taking a large number of various kinds of drugs, which is actually very dangerous. Because there are contraindications between many drugs, it may not happen what kind of adverse reactions to take a certain drug alone, but once combined with a certain drug, it is likely to occur serious adverse reactions. It is recommended that the combination of drugs must be carried out under the guidance of a professional physician and pharmacist, do not listen to the empiricism of non-professionals, not to easily listen to the advertising exaggerated propaganda, the drug does not have much money, but the body eaten bad is how much money will not come.  3, Chinese medicine prescription: often heard people say “do not like to eat Western medicine, Western medicine is toxic, Chinese medicine is non-toxic”, but there are always people who believe that “bias cure big disease”. This concept is right, it is obviously not right, we do not deny that Chinese medicine in many aspects of many diseases have western medicine western medicine can not reach the efficacy, the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine artemisinin is the greatest affirmation of the traditional medicine of the motherland. However, we must also admit that Chinese medicine can also cause liver damage, Chinese medicine is about dialectical treatment and the reduction of toxicity, the correct use of Chinese medicine can cure the disease, the wrong can be harmful. The boisterous Tianma capsules and gentian diarrhea liver pill incidents of the previous years are lessons in drug abuse. Some profit-oriented people, in the name of ancestral secret recipes, do what special treatment of difficult diseases, infertility, the essence of Chinese medicine mixed with Western medicine, the victim can be a large group of people.  4, pregnant women, children indiscriminate use of drugs: pregnant women, children and adults have a very different body, once the indiscriminate use of drugs, it is difficult to imagine what the results are. In particular, children taking adult medication, the occurrence of liver and kidney damage examples are common, children’s liver metabolic capacity is not as good as adults, and prone to explosive liver failure, such as paracetamol, erythromycin, nimesulide, etc., have been confirmed to be more likely to cause liver damage in infants and children. It is recommended that children under the age of 14 should choose a child-specific form of medication, and that the medication should be administered precisely according to the child’s weight and age, and never give children indiscriminate medication or easily use adult medication. tetracycline and chloramphenicol hurt generations of people more than 20 years ago, and today, with improved medical care, we should not let the medication cripple the future of children.  In short, the treatment of medication is a big deal, can not be rash and take for granted, and do not pretend to understand, now medical institutions have covered the majority of the community, the Internet medical also booming, a few steps, or even move your fingers to find the correct information on medication or consult a professional physician or pharmacist, do not use drugs indiscriminately, so as not to spend money also hurt the body.
