Uncle Xu is 74 years old and suffers from arrhythmia. Recently, my friend recommended that taking fish oil can lower blood pressure, anti-thrombosis, and protect the heart and eyes. Uncle Xu was very excited after hearing this, but because he was taking medicine and was worried that there would be side effects, he went to the hospital for consultation. The drug assessed that the drugs that Uncle Xu took were anticoagulant. If he took another health food such as fish oil, it might have an added impact and increase bleeding risk. So he immediately taught the correct use of medicine to enhance Uncle Xu's understanding of health foods.
Healthy food and health food The difference between the two is here
Healthy food is prevalent in recent years. Many people often take various health and health foods with the mood of "eating and protecting" and "treating diseases and being free of illness". However, the market is full of health foods and health foods. Most people don’t know the difference between the two. Even when taking medicine, they supplement a variety of health foods.
Wang Pingyu stated that becoming a "healthy food" must have a strict review standard, such as : Some fish oil, red koji products, etc. on the market have scientific evidence to show that they have physiological adjustments and health care effects, and the product packaging is marked with a healthy food stamp (little green) and certification number; and "health foods" such as: gelatin, enzymes, etc. are only used as general foods, and their health care effects are not proven. The nutrients required for daily life can be taken through a balanced diet, and there is no need for special supplementation. Whether it is a healthy food or health food, if consumed improperly or taken over, it will endanger your health.
3 drugs are prone to interactions
Wang Pingyu pointed out that before taking health foods, it is necessary to determine the cause of consumption and recommend the intake. If you are taking medicine due to chronic diseases, it is necessary to know whether the food will interact with the medicine to avoid the replenishment of food. People who are often prone to interactions such as anticoagulants, blood lipid-lowering drugs, immune disease drugs, etc.:
1. Antiplatelets, anti-hemoglobin: Do not use fish oil, apricots, vitamin E and other blood-activated products to avoid the risk of bleeding such as subcutaneous bleeding, gastric bleeding, hematuria, bleeding brain wind, etc.
2. Hyperlipid-lowering drugs: It is necessary to avoid taking red koji that also has the same effect of lowering blood lipids. Because when both are used, just like increasing the dosage of the medicine, the effects and side effects of the medicine will be strengthened, which may lead to increased chances of side effects such as fatigue, jaundice, increased liver index, inflammation, general weakness, muscle pain, dark urine, etc.
3. Drugs for treating autoimmune diseases: It is necessary to avoid using it with people with stimulating and activate immune system functions such as stimulating and activating immune systems to avoid the reduction of the therapeutic effect of the drug and causing disease to increase.
Hypertensive and kidney diseases Avoid taking high-calf supplements
In addition, patients with high-calf supplements should avoid eating large amounts of chicken sperm, cervical sperm, and food supplements to avoid aggravate the condition. In many people, "as long as you turn on the time, you can avoid interactions." Wang Pingyu reminded that the effect of most drugs is 24 hours, and it is impossible to reduce interactions by relying on the wrong time. If you really need to take it, you should first consult the doctor and the doctor to avoid backfire and negative effects.
