"The difference between one word and the effect of the medicine is very different!" Reveal the mystery of "Wuling", "Wuling" and "Wuling"!
In the corridor of the hospital, Aunt Zhang was holding three medicine slips in her hands, her brows were tightly locked, and her eyes revealed endless doubts. She had just come out of the outpatient clinic and the doctor prescribed her three proprietary Chinese medicines with very similar names – "Wuling Capsule", "Wuling Capsule" and "Wuling Capsule". The difference in this word made Aunt Zhang mutter: "How should I take this medicine?" ”
Aunt Zhang decided to go to Director Li in the inpatient department to ask for an understanding. Director Li is an old Chinese medicine doctor in the hospital, and he has a deep research on Chinese patent medicine, and many incurable diseases can be easily solved in his hands.
Walking into Director Li's office, a faint fragrance of Chinese herbs came to my nose. Director Li was burying his head in a pile of medical records, and when he saw Aunt Zhang coming in, he raised his head kindly: "Aunt Zhang, why are you here?" Feeling unwell? ”
Aunt Zhang hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, Director Li, I went to see the outpatient clinic today, and the doctor prescribed me these three medicines, you can see ......" As she spoke, she handed the medicine list to Director Li.
⚕️ Director Li took the medicine list, looked at it carefully, and then smiled: "Aunt Zhang, your question is not small!" These three medicines, although they have similar names, have very different effects. Come, let me tell you about it. ”
Aunt Zhang nodded again and again, listening attentively.
Director Li began to speak: "First of all, this 'Wuling Capsule' is a good medicine for tonifying the kidneys and calming the nerves. You see, its main ingredient is Wuling fungus powder, which can nourish the kidneys and brain, nourish the heart and calm the nerves. If you have symptoms such as insomnia, forgetfulness, heart palpitations, and upset caused by heart and kidney disconnection, this medicine can come in handy. In modern clinical practice, it is also commonly used to treat neurasthenia, anxiety, depression, etc. ”
Aunt Zhang listened carefully and nodded incessantly.
"Look at this 'Five Spirit Capsule' again, it's different. This is a liver cleansing and detoxification, and is mainly used to treat chronic hepatitis B. Its ingredients include Bupleurum chinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, Salvia, Schisandra chinensis, etc., which can soothe the liver, strengthen the spleen and invigorate the blood. If you have symptoms such as sluggishness, bloating, belching, and flank pain, this medicine is for you. ”
Aunt Zhang suddenly realized that these three medicines have their own merits!
"Finally, this 'Wuling Capsule', it is swelling and water-relieving. Its ingredients include Ze Yuan, Poria Cocos, Zhu Ling, Cinnamon, Atractylodes, etc., which can warm yang and dissolve qi, and promote dampness and water. If you have symptoms such as edema, poor urination, bloating, etc., this medicine can help you. Clinically, it is also commonly used to treat chronic nephritis, urinary retention, chronic enteritis, etc. ”
Aunt Zhang listened to it with relish, and couldn't help but sigh: "Director Li, you are really knowledgeable and talented!" Now I understand that although these three drugs have similar names, their effects are completely different. ”
⚕️ Director Li smiled, and then changed the conversation: "Xiao Zhang, come in." ”
A young doctor pushed open the door and walked in, he was Director Li's right-hand man, and he was also the doctor that Aunt Zhang saw in the outpatient clinic today-Dr. Xiao Zhang.
⚕️ Director Li looked at Dr. Xiao Zhang and said solemnly: "Xiao Zhang, although the three medicines you prescribed to Aunt Zhang, although they are correct, you did not explain to her in detail the differences and usage of these three medicines. That's not going to work! Patients' trust in our doctors is based on adequate communication and explanation. ”
When Dr. Xiao Zhang heard this, he lowered his head in shame: "Director Li, I was negligent. I'll be sure to pay attention in the future. ”
⚕️ Director Li nodded, and then said to Dr. Zhang, "Come, you explain to Aunt Zhang in detail the usage and precautions of these three medicines." ”
Dr. Zhang nodded hurriedly, and then began to explain to Aunt Zhang in detail: "Aunt Zhang, these three medicines are all taken orally. Wuling capsules 3 capsules at a time, 3 times a day; Wuling capsules are 5 capsules at a time, 3 times a day, half an hour after meals; Wuling capsules 3 capsules at a time, 2 times a day. Also, while you are taking the medicine, you must pay attention to eating a light diet and avoid greasy and spicy foods. Also, if you experience any discomfort while taking the medication, it is important to come to the hospital promptly. ”
Aunt Zhang listened carefully and nodded again and again: "Thank you, Doctor Zhang, I remembered." ”
⚕️ Director Li looked at Aunt Zhang and Dr. Xiao Zhang, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Aunt Zhang, you can go back and take medicine according to Dr. Zhang's instructions." If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come to me. ”
Aunt Zhang said gratefully: "Thank you, Director Li, thank you Dr. Zhang"
⚕️ Director Li and Dr. Xiao Zhang looked at each other and smiled, and then said goodbye to Aunt Zhang.
This story reminds us that when choosing a proprietary Chinese medicine, we must read the instructions carefully to understand the composition and efficacy characteristics of the drug, so as to avoid affecting the treatment of the disease due to improper drug selection. At the same time, when doctors prescribe drugs to patients, they should also fully communicate and explain to ensure that patients can understand and use drugs correctly.
Chinese patent medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the advantages of good efficacy and few adverse reactions. However, there are many types of proprietary Chinese medicines, and similar names also occur from time to time. Therefore, when we choose proprietary Chinese medicines, we must keep our eyes open and carefully discern them. At the same time, we would also like to thank the doctors and pharmacists who are silently dedicated to the front line of medical care, and they have escorted us with their professional knowledge and patience.
