Wang Haiting Shandong College of Traditional Chinese Medicine

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        The drug is a human disease with a weapon in the struggle, the correct use, can alleviate the pain, restore health. But there are many patients affected by psychological factors, random drug, drug blindly, not only failed to cure disease, may also cause more damage. In the medication process, let the following error" for his money".

        Self psychology

        Some old people are old patient, think about their condition better, so often the medicine according to the instruction or the condition a little good to stop drug. For example: some hypertensive patients in blood pressure to normal after the drug was reduced or stopped, and hypertensive disease once the diagnosis should be lifelong medication, random stops medicine easy to cause deterioration or accelerate the progress of the disease. Many clinical drug could not be reduced or stopped suddenly. Moreover, some people cough is heavy, took a bottle of cough syrup served a day, doing so will cause adverse reactions, weight can cause sudden death; some patients with infectious diseases in the elderly with antibiotics after illness just ease, the medicine has stopped, the results are not the cause of relapse is resistance.

        Safety psychology

        Some older patients hear others say what kind of medicine is good, you are going to use. However, the disease symptoms similar to those of many types, such as are patients with hemiplegia, some caused by cerebral bleedings, also some is caused by cerebral ischemia, treatment options are different. Even for the same kind of disease, also has an order of priority and the duration of the disease problem. Besides, people there are individual differences, different people 's reaction to a drug is not consistent. For example, with some patients with coronary artery disease, Tongxinluo, some with Danshen dripping pills, and others with Di-ao-xin-xue-kang good, be it differs from man to man.

        Ask your mental

        Some patients think this medicine is good medicine, so look at the prices of drugs, but drugs price, and its main raw materials, raw materials are scarce, acquisition difficult, or complex procedure, drug price is high, and cheap. The price of drugs and curative effect is not proportional to, for example: nitroglycerin tablets every but a fraction of the money, but it is the acute myocardial infarction patients.""". A key to open a lock, an antidote against the disease is the key.

        Psychology of seeking new

        Some patients think drugs than old drugs, therefore would like to use the drug rather than old drugs, in fact, some of the old medicinal decades enduring, and some new drug has no actual effect, toxicity and flower briefly as the broad-leaved epiphyllum; also some patients worship that imports imported drugs, medication effect than domestic good medicine. In fact, a number of imported drugs not only higher prices, and are not suitable for our patients, as in the use of emetine injection in the treatment of drug-resistant strains of infectious diseases, on human cardiac toxicity is small, but our country is prone to cause cardiac accidents in patients with.

        Demand psychology

        Some chronic diseases, diseases of man, as eager to medical treatment, often blind Chongxin folk prescription or secret, no matter whether symptomatic, then to use. Recipe in treating a disease may have in fact effect, but it is only from perceptual knowledge to rational knowledge, but not the sublimation, the user is to know its efficacy and somehow more effective, lack of side effects or toxicity of understanding. In addition, remedies or recipe is from informal doctor application, methods are not unified, but also because of improper use catastrophe, and the arena tour as the try every trick to mislead the public, seek medical patients in the guise of money. Therefore, avoid blind Chongxin recipe, recipe, error is harmful.

        Complement psychology

        Some old people think tonic is omnipotent, can cure disease, disease prevention and. In fact, the tonic is only suitable for the patients with the deficiency, and types of empirical use tonic, adding fuel to the fire. For example: some people take ginseng will appear too much excitement, restlessness, insomnia, dry throat sore throat disease; while the original people suffering from hypertension taking ginseng will the blood pressure to rise suddenly, and the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents and other serious consequences. Some people will also vitamin when tonic, however, vitamin use can cause poisoning at. In short, do not eat tonic, treatment based on syndrome differentiation, and is harmful.

        Seek the psychological

        Some people think that the traditional Chinese medicine has no toxic side effect, so after the illness only doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. But" is the three drug toxicity", Chinese traditional medicine is no exception, abuse can cause poisoning, and even be life-threatening. Such as taking the pill excessive salivation, nausea, will appear, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and other symptoms, aconite, Radix Aconiti kusnezoffii can cause arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest. A handful of the toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine is very great, such as monkshood, star, improper use can cause serious consequences. Whether it is Chinese or western medicine, even taking a normal doses, may also cause toxic reactions, allergic reactions, drug resistance and drug dependence, should be under the guidance of doctors in application.

        Seek psychological

        Some patients think" Han Xin soldiers, the more, the better.", but such medication. In fact exists between drug incompatibility, improper use will produce drug resistance, allergic reactions, even aggravate the burden of organs, but not conducive to be restored to health.
