Source title: 108 kinds of Chinese and Western medicine products are available, the public does not need to rush to buy the same medicine
After being infected with the new crown, different patients have different symptoms. How to treat the symptoms? What drugs can be used in combination? Which drugs cannot be taken at the same time… On December 14, Yang Yiheng, deputy director of the Beijing Pharmaceutical Quality Control and Improvement Center and deputy director of the Department of Pharmacy of Peking University Third Hospital, answered questions from a professional perspective.
In response to many questions about the use of drugs for new crown infected patients, the Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission recently released the “Catalogue of drugs for new crown infected patients (First Edition)” . According to Yang Yiheng, according to the principle of separation of Chinese medicine and Western medicine, the catalog recommends 67 varieties of Chinese medicine for 6 kinds of TCM diagnostic symptoms such as fever and sore throat; 41 varieties of western medicine are recommended for 4 kinds of clinical symptoms such as cough and phlegm Symptoms, purchase on demand, drugs.
“We hope to use such a catalog to ease everyone’s panic about medication and drug hoarding.” Yang Yiheng especially mentioned that the 108 drugs in the catalog are all generic names, and each generic name is produced by at least 10 manufacturers in my country. Namely, similar drugs are very replaceable, so not everyone has to rush to buy the same drug. “At present, these 108 kinds of medicines are all sold in the city. There is no need for everyone to focus on buying one or two medicines. It is okay to switch to another medicine if you don’t have this kind of medicine. The number of drugs that we can use is very large. ”.
“The reason we list so many drugs and list detailed types is to tell everyone not to focus on one or two drugs.” Yang Yiheng further explained that the classification of the drug list is to remind the public that a certain type of drug can be treated specifically. When ordinary people cure their own diseases at home, they can take appropriate and rational medicine. For example, Western medicine for fever reduction includes extended-release capsules, extended-release tablets, and oral liquids. Although they come in different dosage forms, their ingredients are actually the same and they can all be used.
“In using traditional Chinese medicine, we pay attention to the differentiation and classification of the syndrome. The clinical manifestations of the disease are different in different seasons and different regions. For example, Beijing is now in severe winter, and it is also the time to which the flu breaks out every year. Beijing residents are generally prone to colds and colds in this season.” Yang Yiheng said that the main characteristics of wind chill are fear of cold, runny nose, hands and feet cold feet and body temperature can rise to 39 degrees suddenly. When these symptoms appear, you can no longer take medicine for the treatment of hot wind and cold, because those medicines are very cold, and people with wind and cold will have diarrhea and feel colder and colder after taking the wrong medicine.
“Anemopyretic cold is characterized by not being afraid of cold. When getting up, the body temperature is high, the throat is red and swollen, it hurts, and yellow phlegm is expelled. At this time, Chinese medicine containing forsythia, honeysuckle ” , chalk and skullcap should be used. Three of these ingredients prove that it is a wind-hot-cold medicine and can be used symptomatically. “Yang Yiheng said. In general, the cold medicine for the treatment of wind and cold will say dispel the wind, relieve the outside, dispel the cold, etc. The medicines for the treatment of wind, heat and cold they can be more detoxifying and detoxifying. Citizens can judge how to use this kind of medicines through their functions.
