The old people pay attention to drug use
(1) for external use and after oral administration. In order to reduce the toxicity of drug to the body, it can be treated with external medication, such as dermatosis, gingivitis, sprain and so on, which can be used to detoxify and eliminate swelling first, and it is best not to use antiinflammatory drugs.
(2) first use the internal service, then use the injection. Some middle-aged and elderly people want to injections when they are sick, and think that they can get better quickly with injections, but in fact they are not. The medicine flows through the blood to the whole body, and finally enters the heart, directly endangering the blood vessel wall and the heart. Therefore, it is not necessary to use injections to alleviate the disease with internal medicine.
(3) take a diet first, and then use it. As the saying goes, it is the three poison of medicine, so it can be treated with food therapy first.
(4) first use the old medicine, and then use the new drug. In recent years, new drugs and special drugs have springing up. Generally speaking, these drugs have a unique effect on a certain aspect. However, because of the short application time, their shortcomings and side effects, especially the side effects, have not yet been recognized. Therefore, the best use of Chinese and Western medicines, which are widely used in the clinic, should be used carefully, especially for the imported drugs.
(5) first use Chinese medicine, then use western medicine. Chinese medicine is mostly natural medicine, its toxicity and side effects are generally smaller than western medicine. Old people often suffer from chronic diseases or have old diseases. Unless they are used in western medicine, they will have special effects. Under normal circumstances, it is best to take traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate.
