Would you like to change the medication

summary

I have a friend who is suffering from a very serious disease. He has been in the hospital for treatment. He took the medicine prescribed by the doctor for several months, but there was no sign of improvement, so he wanted to try another medicine. Today, let's see if we can change the treatment drugs casually.

Would you like to change the medication

First, the vast majority of patients can be controlled by regular drug treatment, so drug treatment is still the most important treatment, the principle is single drug and long-term drug use. When the effect of a drug is not good, need to change another drug, must not suddenly change dressing. It is necessary to gradually increase the new drug to the effective dose and then gradually reduce the original drug. At the same time, it is necessary to consider whether there is interaction between drugs and adjust the new drug dose. It should be carried out under the guidance of doctors.

Second: most of the major diseases are chronic diseases with a relatively long course. To determine whether a therapeutic drug is effective, it usually takes about 2 months of observation. Some patients are eager to treat the disease, heard that there are new "special effect" drugs, often before the end of the course of treatment to change the treatment drugs at will. In the treatment period, it is often not conducive to the recovery of the disease to change the treatment drugs at will.

Third: any kind of disease therapy or drug, no matter how good the course of treatment, for a specific patient, the initial use with exploratory. Most of the drugs appear in the middle of the course of treatment, so it is bound to affect the course of treatment if the trade abruptly interrupts the treatment or changes other therapeutic drugs; once the new drug treatment is invalid, it will affect the confidence of patients, so it is not good to arbitrarily change the therapeutic drugs before the end of the course of treatment. Patients should go to the special hospital annotated by the national health department for treatment, and should not listen to the false advertisement of "guarantee and cure".

matters needing attention

If taking a medicine has no effect for a long time, if you want to change the medicine, it is recommended to go to the hospital to consult the doctor, listen to the doctor's opinion, or ask the doctor to recommend the medicine for you. You can't change the medicine all of a sudden, and don't buy some informal and unsafe drugs.
