Drugs also have their own nemesis
Medicines can treat children’s diseases, but if parents do not save them reasonably, the medicines will meet their nemesis, which will not only cure the patient’s disease, but may also deteriorate and aggravate the patient’s condition. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the characteristics of some drugs to see if you have saved the drugs correctly.
1, anti-microbial drugs: In order to cater to children''s taste, a lot of children''s medicines are made into syrup, such as children''s cough syrup. In this kind of medicine, because a lot of sugar is put in, some bacteria also like it. If the lid is not tight, bacteria can easily enter and breed. So when taking this kind of medicine, don''t let the child drink it directly into the bottle with your mouth. After use, you should tighten the cap. At the same time, it is best to take it in a short time. You can''t drink it for a long time, even if it does not expire, it is best not to Use it for kids.
2. Pest-resistant drugs: "Ointment, Dan, Pills, and Powder" are the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and honey is a commonly used additive. Therefore, in the warm weather, Chinese medicine is the most prone to insects. Therefore, although the purchase of traditional Chinese medicine preparations is stored for a long time, do not buy more at a time.
3. Drugs that are resistant to light: Western medicines are chemical agents. The ultraviolet rays in the sun can accelerate the deterioration of drugs, especially vitamins and antibiotics. When exposed to light, they will change the color of the drug, reduce the efficacy, and even become harmful toxic substances, such as the most commonly used microbial c tablets in the clinic. If it is taken after it has deteriorated, it will cause gallstones. There are also cod liver oils commonly used by children who are also afraid of light. After exposure to light, the efficacy of the drug decreases, and the child takes the medicine, but rickets cannot be corrected.
4. Drugs that are afraid of moisture: The drugs should be placed in a dry place. Drying is to prevent moisture. Some medicines are very easy to absorb moisture in the air. For example, aspirin commonly used in children''s rheumatoid is a representative medicine that easily absorbs moisture. After it absorbs moisture, it begins to decompose into salicylic acid and acetic acid, which produces a strong acidity and stimulates the stomach. Sexuality is greatly increased, severe cases can cause gastric mucosal bleeding.
5. Drugs that are heat-resistant: The chemical reaction of drugs accelerates with the rise of temperature. If the temperature rises by 10 degrees, the chemical reaction speed will be accelerated by 2-4 times, so general drugs should usually be placed below Temperatures below 20 degrees. Some special medicines, such as antiviral interferon and immunoglobulin to increase immunity should be stored in the refrigerator at 2-15 degrees, otherwise it will easily reduce the potency of the medicine or even deteriorate.
6. Medicines that are afraid of burning: There are two kinds of medicines commonly used in children''s digestive system diseases that are most afraid of hot water. One type is digestive enzymes, such as pediatric pepsin, multi-enzyme tablets; One type is probiotic medicines for diarrhea, such as mommy love and golden bifid. Of the two types of drugs, the former is a protein component, which solidifies and necrosis at high temperature; the latter is a beneficial microorganism, which "burns them out" at high temperature.
7. Cold-resistant drugs: Not all drugs can be stored in the refrigerator, such as children’s cough syrup or anti-cold syrup. If placed in a refrigerator with a low temperature, it will reduce the solubility of the drug, resulting in The drug and the marked drug concentration do not match. There are also creams for dermatology. If the temperature is too low, it will cause the layering of the matrix and affect the uniformity and efficacy of the drug. Therefore, such drugs can be placed at room temperature.
In short, parents bought medicines, they must first read the instructions carefully, and follow the instructions to keep the medicines reasonably.
