Last week, an elderly patient was brought by his children and brought a bottle of medicine into the clinic. When I asked, I learned that the old man suffered from severe low back pain. He bought medicine at the small grocery store at his door, and it worked very well. As long as he took the medicine, his waist did not hurt. It was a good thing, but gradually, the old man found that as soon as he stopped the medicine, he felt not only low back pain, but also pain all over his body, as if he was addicted. Helpless, the old man had to ask his family to bring him to the hospital for treatment, and he brought along the self-purchased "secret recipe" for the doctor to explain.

　　I am ashamed that I learned In clinical medicine, there is no in-depth study of pharmacology, nor does it know how to identify the authenticity of the "secret formula". But for many years of clinical work, I have also encountered patients who took the so-called "remedies" and "secret recipes" without permission to relieve pain, which eventually led to serious complications. For example, some secret recipes include hormone drugs that can relieve pain. The patient naturally does not feel pain after taking it, but long-term use of hormones leads to necrosis of the femoral head, and he limp when walking. It collapsed and could only be replaced by artificial joints.

　　 In fact, the easiest way to identify whether a drug is regular is not to see whether it is temporarily aura, but to see if the drug has a batch number and a regular manufacturer. The department that sells the drug should be a registered pharmacy, hospital, and Not a grocery store. It is best to ask a licensed doctor to ask, many questions can be solved.

　　 has to admit that being able to dare to go to a small grocery store to buy medicines without batches and manufacturers and take them is something unbelievable to many people. But this is indeed the case, and it is not a case, it seems necessary to continue to carry out in-depth medical education.
