What are the side effects of long term stomach medicine on the human body?

One is the toxicity of drugs, all drugs have greater or lesser toxicity, and there is a certain amount of harm to the liver and kidneys. In addition, taking medicine often will make the human body resistant to drugs, and the next time you take medicine, you may not be sensitive to drugs. Of course, if you are sick, you have to take medicine or take it.

Is taking medicine for a long time harmful to the body?

Medication is a kind of conduit for some of our diseases, and for people who need to take medicine for a long time, they are always worried about what is the drug? In fact, there is a place to take medicine***, but I have to take it for the sake of my condition.

Everyone knows that taking medicine for a long time is not good for the body, but there are some diseases that need to be controlled by taking medicine for a long time, otherwise it will be easy to ** and life-threatening. Of course, if you need to take medicine for a long time, you don't have to worry too much, after all, many drugs are taken under the guidance of doctors, and *** is also relatively small.

We go to a regular hospital to see a doctor, and the doctor's prescription will determine which type of drug to choose according to the diagnosed disease, and formulate the dose, route and course of treatment according to the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the selected drug, and will make individualized prescriptions according to possible adverse reactions. For example, there are many kinds of pharmacological effects of each drug, and the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs are different.

People who take medicine for a long time are best to avoid these three things. Health is the most important thing for everyone, but because of certain elements in life, many people need to take medicine for a long time to get sick, so it is recommended that people who take medicine for a long time need to pay attention to the following three points.

1. Avoid alcohol.

In daily life, drinking is a very common thing now, and drinking is inevitable on many occasions. But if it is a long-term medication. It is really not suitable to drink alcohol, because alcohol may have some reactions with drugs, which is not conducive to the effectiveness of the drug, and even serious harm to the body.

Many people say that as long as you stagger the time of taking medicine, you will be fine if you drink alcohol, but in fact, this is the wrong behavior. It is not recommended to drink alcohol while taking the medication.

2. Don't take it upon yourself to stop taking the drug.

No matter what kind of disease it is, during the ** period, the most feared thing is to stop taking the drug on your own. There are many people in life who stop taking medicine immediately when they see that their condition is getting better, so as not to ***. In fact, this wrong approach is wrong, if the drug is stopped at will, it will easily lead to diseases, especially for diseases such as high blood pressure.

Once the drug is stopped, it will cause blood pressure to fluctuate greatly. Therefore, it is still under the advice of the doctor to choose whether to stop the drug.

3. Pay attention to missed medication.

I believe that there are many people in life who often forget to take medicine, if this situation occurs, the first thing to look at is the way to take the medicine. If it's once a day, you should take it right away, no matter when you remember it.

It can affect the liver and kidneys, and may also cause stomach bloating, may cause constipation, can lead to osteoporosis, and may also cause diarrhea.

If you don't want to eat, it is very likely that your digestive tract will be infected, which will damage sexual function to a certain extent, make yourself dependent, and put too much burden on your liver and kidneys.

Research data suggest that long-term use of gastropin in older adults may lead to osteoporosis. Care should be taken in use.

With the increase of age, the digestive function of the elderly will inevitably decline, and many elderly people will often have symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux, and often choose to take gastropin (compound aluminum hydroxide). Experts remind that elderly patients should pay attention to the following points when using gastric sooth.

Better chewing effect Gastropin should not be swallowed whole like other tablets, but should be chewed half an hour before meals or when stomach pain attacks. Because the effect of aluminum hydroxide in gastric sooping is weak and slow, in order to make this drug work quickly, first of all, the active ingredients in the drug can be quickly dispersed, increase the contact surface with the stomach wall, and let as much mucosal surface as possible adsorb the drug, so as to play a protective role in the stomach wall, otherwise the effect is poor.

The main ingredient of gastropin is aluminum hydroxide, which is used to relieve stomach pain, heartburn (heartburn), acid reflux caused by excessive gastric acid, and is also commonly used in chronic gastritis**. Due to the obvious effect of gastropin, many elderly people will take gastropinal on their own as long as they have stomach pain and acid reflux. However, the aging of tissue and organ function and the decline of adaptability in the elderly will inevitably affect the process of drug absorption in the body, so that the incidence of adverse reactions of drugs will be higher and more serious.

The common adverse reaction of gastrophepine for the elderly is osteoporosis, and the elderly are already prone to calcium malabsorption, which will accelerate the process of osteoporosis.

At the same time, research data show that the aluminum contained in gastric suppine can be absorbed into the human body through the intestinal mucosa, and long-term use will cause an increase in serum aluminum concentration, and even lead to chronic aluminum poisoning. Chronic aluminum poisoning can cause patients to have symptoms of brain function loss such as dizziness, dizziness, and memory loss, and in severe cases, it can lead to the occurrence of pre-aging dementia or lead to the aggravation of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, medical experts warn against long-term use of gastric suppurin.

Most Taiwanese people still have the idea that taking medicine will hurt their stomach, and they must take stomach medicine when taking it, are you too? In fact, not all drugs will hurt the stomach, and there are many types of stomach medicines, and the appropriate drugs must be selected for the cause or symptoms of the drug.

Q1 Do all medicines hurt my stomach?

Only a few drugs such as aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics (NSAIDS) drugs may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, but most of them are mild or can be improved after stopping the drug.

Q2 Do I have to take Western medicine with stomach medicine?

It is not recommended to take the medicine with stomach medicine. Gastric medicine usually refers to antacids, the effect is to neutralize gastric acid, although a small number of drugs may have gastrointestinal ** or ulcers, but such symptoms are not simply caused by excessive gastric acid, with gastric medicine The preventive effect is limited, but may cause drug interaction, and even affect the efficacy of the drug, long-term use may also affect the pH value in the stomach, which is harmful to health.

However, because each patient's physical condition is different, such as gastric ulcers, serious injuries and other intensive care unit patients, the doctor will still prescribe gastric medicine in the prescription of the patient. If you must take stomach medicine according to the doctor's instructions, it is recommended to take the main drug first, and wait for the drug to enter the body for two hours before taking stomach medicine, so as to avoid the interaction between the drug and the stomach medicine, which can ensure the efficacy of the drug and not hurt the stomach.

Q3 What happens if I don't take stomach medicine properly?

Some people think that taking more stomach medicine (antacids) will not harm the body, but this is a misconception. The body's stomach acid is the first line of defense against bacteria, and in the case of long-term use of gastric medicine, the pH value in the stomach continues to rise, and the effect of inhibiting bacteria will decrease, and bacteria can easily grow in the intestines, which may increase the risk of infection.

Salts in stomach medicine may cause diarrhea or constipation***; In addition, people with poor kidney function should be cautious about using gastric medicines containing aluminum and magnesium.

Finally, drug hazard relief** will remind that when you find unexplained abdominal pain, or the pain does not improve after taking stomach medicine for a period of time, please seek medical examination as soon as possible and make a correct diagnosis in time!

The elderly are prone to stomach problems, so they naturally have to take stomach medicine regularly. However, few people know that long-term use of bismuth stomach medicine can damage the brain and lead to poor memory.

To cure stomach diseases, the key problem is the repair and regeneration of the gastric mucosa. Only by restoring the damaged mucosa to a normal healthy state can the stomach disease be cured at the root. However, chronic stomach problems often recur and require long-term medication.

Some patients with old stomach problems may still take medicine under the guidance of a doctor at first, but after a long time, they think that they have become a doctor after a long illness, so they go to the pharmacy to buy medicine on their own, and take it for several months or even a year. As everyone knows, this will be harmful.

Under normal circumstances, the insoluble gel precipitate formed by bismuth drugs is difficult to be absorbed by the digestive tract, and trace amounts of bismuth are mainly distributed in the liver, kidney and other tissues after absorption, and most of them are distributed in the kidneys, which are mainly excreted through the kidneys. However, long-term use of such drugs may cause the accumulation of bismuth in the body, a heavy metal component, causing bismuth poisoning. Bismuth is a heavy metal, and if bismuth is deposited in large amounts in the brain and kidneys, symptoms such as uremia and poor memory can occur.

Recommended for patients with stomach problems:

1.Even if it is an over-the-counter medication, consult a doctor before taking it.

2.At present**stomach disease, most of them are double or triple**, so if the effect is not good, you may need to change the dressing or combine multiple drugs, rather than stubbornly taking it for a long time.
