"I have a stomachache, can you recommend me a few pills?"
"Medicine can not be eaten indiscriminately, or it is better to see a doctor first."
"No, stomach problems are not a serious disease, just take some medicine." If one medicine is not good to eat, just mix several drugs to try, anyway, they are all for stomach diseases, and the effect is better when added together! ”
In daily life, we often pay little attention to stomach pain, if it is not stomach pain to bear, many people will choose to "prescribe medicine to treat the disease", some even a kind of medicine is not cured, just two or three kinds of eat together. But can stomach medicine really be taken so "casually"? There are many kinds of stomach medicines, how to eat them?
<h1>There are 4 kinds of stomach medicine functions, first see which one you are</h1>
Although the symptoms of stomach discomfort are mostly flatulence and stomach pain, stomach medicine can be divided into four kinds according to function, and it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine in order to obtain good treatment results.
Antacidals. Acidic drugs, as the name suggests, function to relieve stomach pain caused by excessive stomach acid. [1] It can be divided into two categories: neutralizing stomach acid and inhibiting gastric acid secretion, and reducing stomach acid can play a role in protecting the stomach wall. The representative drugs of the former are aluminum hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate, while the latter is represented by omeprazole.
Digestive aids. Dyspepsia often occurs after overeating or eating foods that are not easy to digest, and the symptoms are manifested as loss of appetite, flatulence, stomach bloating and pain, and so on. At this time, the use of digestive aids can improve the digestive function of the stomach, so that the food stuck in the stomach can be more easily digested. Digestive aids mainly include dry yeast, lactase and pancreatic enzymes, the first two can promote the secretion of digestive enzymes, and pancreatic enzymes themselves are a digestive enzyme, which can quickly supplement the insufficient digestive enzymes in the body.
Gastrointestinal motility drugs. This is a drug that can promote the peristalsis of all different links from the esophagus to the anus, inhibits the reverse peristalsis of the intestine, restores normal peristalsis levels and inhibits vomiting, also known as antiemetics. Common are morphine, mosalpride, erythromycin and so on.
Anti-bloating drugs. Refers to a drug that relieves flatulence and helps eliminate air from the gastrointestinal tract. The gas in the digestive tract of the average person can be excreted through hiccups or farts, but when there is a problem with the function of the gastrointestinal tract, anti-swelling drugs are needed to help exhaust. Common anti-swelling drugs contain dimethicone.
<h1>Take stomach medicine, but also pay attention to the following 4 points</h1>
First distinguish between stomach medicine and intestinal medicine, do not mix. Many people usually feel uncomfortable in the stomach, so they blindly go to the pharmacy to buy some stomach medicine or intestinal medicine to take, in fact, this is not right. The stomach and intestines are two completely different organs, and you must first distinguish what is wrong with yourself before you can take the corresponding drugs. If the upper abdomen is uncomfortable with nausea and vomiting, it is generally a stomach problem; if it is a pain in the lower abdomen and symptoms of diarrhea, it may be an intestinal problem. [2]
Mixed use, disordered order of poor efficacy. If you use a mixture of stomach and intestinal medicines when taking the drug, it will affect the efficacy of the drug. In addition, the order of taking drugs can not be chaotic, for example, after eating some drugs that need to be attached to the gastric mucosa to work, immediately take gastric emptying drugs such as morphine, which will make the drugs taken earlier cannot be attached to the gastric mucosa and lose their effect.
Acid-base medicines should not be taken together. Stomach medicine is also acid-based. Such as heartburn, stomach acid when eating alkaline drugs, such as sodium bicarbonate tablets. In the case of stomach bloating and indigestion, it is necessary to choose acidic drugs to accelerate the digestion of food, and taking acid and alkaline drugs at the same time will affect the efficacy.
Every medicine has side effects. Common stomach medicines contain trace elements such as aluminum, magnesium, calcium, and sodium, and excessive intake may cause a variety of side effects. For example, long-term consumption of sodium bicarbonate in patients with poor renal function may aggravate the original condition; long-term excessive use of aluminum-containing preparations can cause constipation, intestinal obstruction or hypochondriasis. Therefore, when taking stomach medicine, you need to pay attention to side effects, and choose the right stomach medicine based on your own physical condition and chronic diseases.
<h1>Daily methods of stomach care</h1>
Now many people often have stomach discomfort, but only think about the cause of the stomach, and do not think about other possibilities. Professor Guo Lianfang, chairman of the Spine Carding Professional Committee of the Liaoning Health Rehabilitation Society, pointed out that after 3 years of treatment of stomach diseases, it is not good, and you can try the screening of cervical thoracic spine diseases. [3] If bone hyperplasia or displacement occurs in the spine, it is likely to involve the surrounding sympathetic nerves, and the stomach is located just nearby, which may cause pain.
How do we protect our stomach health in our daily lives? The first is to eat regularly and regularly every day, do not have the last meal and no next meal, which can easily lead to chronic stomach disease. Second, drink less alcohol and eat some foods that are irritating to the stomach, eat less spicy, and so on.
In short, the stomach is an important organ in our body and is closely related to diet. We have more or less experienced stomach discomfort, at this time to find out what is wrong, and then choose to use drugs, especially do not mix stomach medicine and intestinal medicine. In daily life, we should also pay more attention to stomach health and avoid overeating.
