Old man Li is 71 years old this year, and in the past year, he often has chest tightness and angina, and after going to the hospital for examination, he was diagnosed with coronary heart disease by the doctor, so he prescribed a bunch of medicines. One of them is a special medicine, it is a Chinese patent medicine called Danshen Dripping Pill.
Old man Li was very unfamiliar with this drug, and did not understand what it could treat, and later his children told him after careful understanding that this drug can not only treat heart disease, but also have a good effect on many other diseases, and is a medicine that can invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, regulate qi and relieve pain.
Since Old Man Li's child said that the effect of Danshen Dripping Pill is very good, what kind of symptoms does it have a good effect on? In fact, it is not only heart disease.
1. Underestimate Danshen Dripping Pills? Its treatment of these three diseases may be beyond your understanding
In the clinical treatment of many heart diseases, Danshen Dripping Pill may appear, as a Chinese patent medicine, many patients do not know much about him. But in fact, this is a drug with obvious effects and therapeutic effects on a variety of diseases, and its treatment scope is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease
Compound Danshen Dripping Pill is a kind of Chinese patent medicine, which is developed by modern pharmaceutical technology, and it itself has the effect of activating blood and removing blood stasis, so it has a very good therapeutic effect on heart disease caused by coronary atherosclerosis.
In a previous clinical data survey, researchers found that elderly patients with coronary heart disease generally had good clinical effects and a relatively low incidence of adverse reactions in the process of taking compound Danshen Dripping Pills, which could not only improve the patient's blood lipid level, but also protect the patient's liver function to a great extent.
From the clinical data they investigated, we can clearly see that the blood lipid level of patients who took Danshen Dripping Pill was significantly lower than that of other patients.
This may be because the main ingredients of this drug are Panax notoginseng, borneol and salvia, which have relatively small adverse reactions in clinical practice, and can play a good role in conditioning, and also have a good effect on coronary arteriosclerosis.
Clinically, after taking Danshen Dripping Pill in patients with coronary arteriosclerosis, the recovery effect of heart function is very obvious, and after taking it for a period of time, the clinical examination indicators will also tend to normal. Compared with other drugs, the probability of adverse reactions of Danshen Dripping Pill as a Chinese patent medicine is lower, and the possibility of other complications is also greatly reduced.
2. Angina pectoris
Angina pectoris mostly occurs in the elderly, but many elderly people due to a lot of contraindications or adverse drug reactions, can not take medicine casually, some Western medicine in the treatment process, may also bring a certain burden to the body of the elderly, at this time, the conditioning function of Chinese patent medicine, it is particularly obvious.
Clinically, the occurrence of angina pectoris is mostly closely related to coronary arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. When the central sclerotic plaque of the coronary artery forms or becomes unstable, ruptures or bleeds, the patient will have angina pectoris.
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, angina pectoris belongs to the category of "heartache", and if you want to treat it, you must first improve the patient's blood circulation, promote blood circulation and remove stasis, and reduce the patient's blood pressure and blood viscosity.
It can not only inhibit the aggregation of platelets, achieve the effect of dilating blood vessels, but also effectively inhibit lipid peroxidation, reduce intracellular cholesterol synthesis, and have a good effect on treating angina.
3. Qi stagnation and blood stasis lead to high blood pressure
Danshen Dripping Pill also has a very obvious effect in the treatment of high blood pressure symptoms caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. In the process of clinical use, it was found that Danshen Dripping Pill has obvious efficacy for patients with hypertension and is extremely safe.
Previously, some clinicians have investigated the efficacy of Danshen Dripping Pills, and finally found that Danshen Dripping Pills can significantly improve the symptoms of hypertensive patients after being used in combination with conventional antihypertensive drugs, and can be used to treat symptoms such as left ventricular hypertrophy caused by hypertension.
In addition to the above three main curative effects, in the process of use, Danshen Dripping Pill has a very good improvement effect on the symptoms of occasional headache, dizziness, insomnia, cervical spondylosis, etc., and it is a trustworthy drug for patients with cardiovascular disease and heart disease.
2. What is the difference between Danshen Dripping Pill and Aspirin for the same treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and can they be taken together or substituted for each other?
Danshen Dripping Pill is a Chinese patent medicine, which can be used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and in the need, the efficacy of aspirin is somewhat similar to it, but in essence, these two drugs are completely different, not only suitable for patients are completely different, but also the contraindications that need to be paid attention to in the process of taking are also very different.
1. Aspirin
Aspirin is also a drug that can reduce platelet aggregation and inhibit thrombosis, and its principle of action is mainly through the collection of receptors on the platelet outer membrane to prevent platelets from polymerizing with other platelets, so as to achieve the purpose of anti-thrombosis and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
Therefore, in clinical practice, aspirin is usually used in patients who have undergone bypass surgery, stent surgery, or have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease or stroke, especially when the patient is over 50 years old and accompanied by symptoms such as obesity or hypertension.
2. Compound salvia dripping pills
The main effect of this drug is to expand the cardiovascular system and change blood circulation, so it is often used in clinical practice to improve the symptoms of angina pectoris, coronary heart disease and other symptoms caused by myocardial ischemia.
The salvia contained in Danshen Dripping Pill has a very good effect of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, while Panax notoginseng can have a good pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effect.
The treatment direction of the two drugs is not completely the same, and the mechanism of action is completely different, therefore, if there is a need for treatment in clinical practice, they may be taken together, but we need to note that the corresponding symptoms of the two drugs are different, so they cannot replace each other.
3. Danshen Dripping Pill is a "life-saving medicine", what should we pay attention to when taking it?
At present, Danshen Dripping Pill is a drug that is widely used in China to heart disease. However, because the history is relatively short, the mechanism of adverse reactions still needs to be studied more, but one thing is certain, long-term use of Danshen Dripping Pills may cause some irritation to the gastrointestinal tract of patients.
One of the main ingredients of Danshen Dripping Pill is borneol, which may cause irritation to the stomach during the process of taking it, so patients with gastroenteritis or gastric ulcers should try to avoid taking Danshen Dripping Pills.
From this point, we can also see that although there are relatively few negative reactions in the clinical practice of Danshen Dripping Pills, and the safety is relatively high, it is still necessary to follow the doctor's instructions and pay attention to the following aspects during the taking process:
1. Carefully understand the indications for medication
We must first understand that Danshen Dripping Pill is a prescription drug, and it must be prescribed by a doctor before patients can buy and take medicine. In this process, it is necessary to carefully understand the indications for its medication, and inform the doctor of his or her medical history so that the dosage can be better regulated, or the drug can be changed.
Clinically, even if it is a safe drug, it may bring a lot of burden to patients who are not indicated, and once it exceeds the indication of Danshen Dripping Pill, it may increase the risk of medication for patients.
2. Pregnant women, patients with gastrointestinal diseases, and bleeding tendencies should use with caution
As mentioned earlier, patients with gastrointestinal diseases should not take too much of the borneol contained in Danshen Dripping Pills, and in addition, pregnant women and patients with bleeding tendencies should also be more rigorous in their medication.
This is because the salshensu contained in Danshen Dripping Pill has a very obvious effect on inhibiting platelet aggregation, so patients with bleeding tendencies cannot take this type of drug, which may cause the wound on the patient's body to be difficult to heal for a long time.
Danshen Dripping Pill is essentially a kind of Chinese patent medicine, now with the rise of Chinese patent medicine, many patients have a relatively large superstition about Chinese patent medicine, although the general conditioning effect of Chinese patent medicine is stronger, but it is also necessary to take the appropriate medicine under the advice of the doctor, can not be bought at will by their own will.
