Suppress cough after "Yang"
Such ingredients are the easiest to "drug drive"
"Drug consultations for cough suppressant use have reached a new high recently. Some patients have reported that it is easy to get sleepy after taking cough medicine, because some cough medicines contain chlorpheniramine, which is what we often call chlorpheniramine. Zhang Yanli, deputy director of the Department of Pharmacy of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Dongfang Hospital, said.
Previously, in the live broadcast of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, Li Zhiling, deputy director of the Department of Pharmacy of Shanghai Children's Hospital, once reminded that in the often used compound cold medicines, everything with the word "min" generally contains anti-allergic ingredients such as chlorpheniramine, which will inhibit the central nervous system of the human body, resulting in fatigue, drowsiness, drowsiness or blurred vision, dizziness and other symptoms.
Chlorpheniramine
It is mainly used to treat rhinitis, skin and mucous membrane allergies, and relieve cold symptoms such as tearing, sneezing, and runny nose.
Daily drugs such as cold clearing, sensory sukang, suke cold, phenol ephemephamine, ammonia ephemepher memine, clofen huangmin, heavy sense spirit, compound cold spirit, compound methoxynamine, cough terine, recreational rhinitis, nasal comfort and other colds, antitussive, rhinitis medicine, all contain chlorpheniramine.
Zhang Yanli introduced that chlorpheniramine is the first generation of antihistamine, can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, combined with histamine to play an anti-allergic role, chlorpheniramine can cause drowsiness, reduce people's attention and alertness, make people feel tired or mentally ill.
More than chlorpheniramine
Be aware of these medications
It is understood that the World Health Organization lists 7 major categories of drugs that may affect safe driving after taking, and proposes that driving should be prohibited after taking the above drugs, including: hypnotic drugs that affect the nervous system, drugs with nausea and vomiting or allergic reactions, pain medications, stimulants, drugs for the treatment of epilepsy, as well as antihypertensive drugs and hypoglycemic drugs.
"Be sure to check the instructions when taking the medicine." Zhang Yanli reminded that there will be words in the precautions and taboos in some drug instructions, and you must avoid driving when you see this tip.
The time it takes for different ingredients to have an effect in different patients can vary widely. At the same time, some drugs will have a greater impact on patients who drink alcohol or take insomnia drugs, "In fact, many drug instructions are quite lengthy, patients often do not have the patience to read carefully, but for travel safety, you must pay attention to these details." Zhang Yanli said.
