Ba Min Chinese Medicine Practitioner said: In the past few days, a reader has reported a Xi of taking medicine: after suffering from a chronic disease, he has to take antihypertensive drugs, lipid-lowering drugs and aspirin every day. Xi habitually, he would get up early in the morning and directly take all these types of medicines. He wondered if he was doing it properly, and if there was a specific time for taking these medicines?
1. Blood Pressure Medications: Choose the Right Time For most people, blood pressure is slightly higher during the day and lower at night. Therefore, it is appropriate to take antihypertensive drugs in the morning, which can also help to better regulate blood pressure during the day. Also, to ensure that the drug is fully absorbed, it is best to take it on an empty stomach. But it has to be mentioned that everyone's physiological laws are unique. Some people with high blood pressure have higher blood pressure in the evening or early morning, and they may need to choose a different time to adjust. Frequent blood pressure checks are recommended to ensure that you are always within the control range.
2. Lipid-lowering drugs: looking for the best time Among lipid-lowering drugs, statins are more common. Considering the characteristics of cholesterol production in the body at night, some lipid-lowering drugs may be better taken at night. However, there are also some high-potency statin medications that can be taken for a relatively flexible time. Of course, if you need to adjust in combination with other medications, then it is also a good option to consider adjusting morning and night.
3. Aspirin: Timed and fixed points Although aspirin has a short-lived effect, its effect on platelets is continuous. So, just make sure to take it at a set time each day. However, because it can be irritating to the stomach, it is advisable to choose enteric-coated drugs and make sure to take them on an empty stomach.
4. Xi Medication: Stability is Critical Treatment of chronic diseases often requires long-term adherence. Choosing highly effective medications can help reduce the frequency of taking medications and improve the effectiveness of treatment. For those older friends who tend to forget to take their medications, simplifying the treatment regimen may be more helpful to stick to.
As with the method of taking medication, the timing is crucial. Behind each drug, there is a unique physiological principle. Stick to a reasonable time of taking the medicine so that each tablet can exert its due effect. This is the Ba Min Chinese medicine said, I hope everyone can have something to gain in their daily life, be healthy and happy.
