Avoid the following misunderstandings
Increase the dose of medication or take two cold medicines at the same time (×) at the same time (×)
The name of the cold medicine products is different, and the drug components are actually similar. Do not superimposed!
On the market, we are familiar with cold medicine brands: amino miminist tablets (II), compound aminopenol capsule capsules, pseudolytic pseudo -pseudo -samising tablets, phenolinin tablets, etc., all contain acetyl aminophenol.The tragedy of acute liver failure caused by an excessive amount of cold medicine containing acetaminols per year has repeatedly occurred.Therefore, it is necessary to increase the dosage or take two cold medicines at the same time in order to achieve rapid results. Not only can it not shorten the cold course of the cold, but it will also increase the side effects of drug toxicity and cause damage to the body.
The name of the same medicine contains "ammonia", "phenol" or "in "cold medicine+antipyretics (×)
As mentioned above, cold medicines containing "ammonia", "phenol" or "phenol" in the name of the medicine are all containing acetylphenol.It is the same type of drugs with fever medicines that we often use ibuprofen.Patients with high fever (body temperature> 38.5 ° C) are recommended to take antipyretics directly.If you are still hot after taking a cold, it is recommended to take antipyretics for at least 3 hours.Generally, such heat -relieving analgesic drugs should be taken within 24 hours.
Chinese and Western medicines also have "pit"
In order to facilitate the use of medicines, some Chinese patent medicines on the market contain cold medicine ingredients.like:
Drug Name

Vitamin C Yinqiao
Chinese medicine, chloro -phenyamin, acetaminol, VC
Fangfang Cold Spirit Film
Chinese medicine, chloro -phenyamin, acetaminol, caffeine
Cold granules
Traditional Chinese medicine, chloro -phenyamin, acetaminol, caffeine …
Therefore, we need to understand the ingredients and avoid repeated medication before buying and use.
The following people need to pay attention to medication
1. Patients with severe liver and renal dysfunction should pay attention to reduction when taking cold medicines to avoid long -term large doses, so as not to cause drug accumulation.
2. Anti -allergic drugs in cold medicines can cause sleepiness. After taking it, you should avoid engaging in danger and fine operations.
3. Patients with broad bean diseases use cold medicines containing ingredients such as acetaminophen, beef, honeysuckle, and Huanglian.
4. Children’s use of cold medicines should choose suitable for children’s use varieties and dosage according to the drug instructions.
Finally, remind everyone that cold medicine can only relieve cold symptoms, and should not be excessively dependent, so as not to delay the condition.
