Grandma Tan is a “medicine jar”. Her hard work and inattentive physical maintenance in her early years left many root causes for her old body. Cervical spine medicine, antihypertensive medicine, medicine for heart disease, and so on. As we get older, it becomes almost impossible to remember when and how much to take medicine, often forgetting to take it or swallowing it when I remember it at bedtime.
Sometimes when family members see each other, they will say: “You don’t take medicine on time and on time to improve your condition, and it may be harmful to your body.” Grandma Tan didn’t believe it. She thought that she had been eating like this for many years, and her body was still the same. It was no big deal.

Then, the doctor emphasized the dose and regular use >What is it for, if you don’t follow the doctor’s advice, will there really be any problems?
The time of taking medicine is to exert the best effect
What is the purpose of taking antihypertensive medicine? Nonsense, of course, to lower blood pressure. In that case, isn’t it better to take medicine before the blood pressure peaks during the day? Of course it is. The human body generally has higher blood pressure at 9 o’clock after getting up in the morning and around 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Taking it at this time can lower blood pressure in a targeted manner and avoid dizziness and other conditions.
In view of Grandma Tan’s situation of taking antihypertensive drugs and other drugs before going to bed, because people’s blood pressure is already low during the day during sleep, taking antihypertensive drugs at this time may Leads to a sudden drop in blood pressure, slowing blood flow in the body, possibly causing insufficient blood supply to the internal organs and brain.

Of course, the words should not be too full, some patients are sleeping The effect of taking antihypertensive drugs before will be better. This is specific to the individual. It is recommended to go to the hospital and follow the doctor’s diagnosis. Just follow the normal blood pressure state of the human body and the medication process, and the effect is better during the day.
I heard that drugs have drug resistance and side effects, but I dare not take one drug all the time, it is better to change it frequently
Some people have chronic diseases , I am worried about the need to persist in taking a certain type of drug for a long time. I heard that medicines are three-fold poisons. All medicines have side effects, and the medicines seem to have some resistance. This is a disease that will take a lifetime to cure, maybe something Even if it doesn’t work, I’m still taking it, isn’t that the same as taking chronic poison? Because of this kind of thinking, some people choose to ask a doctor to change the medicine they take after taking a certain medicine for a period of time, which is not desirable.

Drugs for lowering blood pressure and other chronic diseases are resistant Sex?
First of all, we need to understand that the existence of drug resistance is generally only for antibacterial and antiviral drugs, just as we are now in the environment of the epidemic Like the new coronaviruses below, they are extremely mutated, and it didn’t take long for the drugs that were effective before to lose their effect on them. However, for chronic diseases such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and cervical spine, the root cause of the disease is the malignant changes in the internal structure of the body, thus causing the pain of the human body. This is the same as the source of disease caused by viruses and bacteria.

The side effects of the drug make some people stop eating because of choking, it is not necessary
Secondly, it’s normal to worry about the side effects of your medication. For example, Liuwei Dihuang Pills are good news for patients with kidney yin deficiency, but if the spleen and stomach function is not good, then Liuwei Dihuang Pills will cause obvious damage, that is, further aggravate the spleen and stomach indigestion Illness. Therefore, when taking medicine in the hospital, the doctor should inform the doctor of other diseases of his body to avoid medication conflicts.
In the case that the body does not reject the drug treatment of chronic diseases, there is no need to worry too much about the side effects of the drugs. After all, all drugs are marketed after a large number of clinical trials, and their effects on the human body will be specified in the instructions. After all, under the dosage reference guided by the doctor, even if there are some minor side effects, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
Therefore, for antihypertensive drugs, patients must keep in mind the doctor’s instructions after seeing a doctor, and generally take them in the morning and afternoon, and do not find that they seem to have forgotten to take them today before going to bed at night. When the antihypertensive medicine is over, get up and take one, which is useless and even counterproductive. There is no need to worry about the drug resistance and side effects of antihypertensive drugs. After informing the doctor of various indicators of your body, the doctor prescribes the drug, and you can eat it with confidence.
