Uncle Mao went to the pharmacy to buy medicine and happened to meet Lao Zhang upstairs. He saw that the other party bought a "cheap medicine" worth a few dollars, so he immediately became flaunted and stepped forward and said, "Lao Zhang, don't buy cheap medicine, the effect is not good. Look at the one I bought, a bottle costs dozens of dollars, if you want to buy it, buy this."
Old Zhang smiled and shook his head, saying that he had been taking this, and the effect was very good. It was prescribed by the doctor for himself, and the medicine cannot be changed casually. Seeing that Lao Zhang was not grateful, Mr. Mao stopped saying anything, and looked at the imported medicine in his hand and said "no longer fragrant". They are all medicines, are cheap and expensive the same effect? Why are the prices so different?
Hypertension This disease is simply a rise in blood pressure. In a long-term state of tension, multiple organs of the body will be damaged. If the patient does not take medicine, the patient can be diagnosed by multiple times of measurements at 140/90 or above . At this time, the doctor will prescribe appropriate medicines based on the patient's condition, with the purpose of stabilizing blood pressure as soon as possible and stopping up and down like a roller coaster. This is also a means to protect the organs.
Because the medicine needs to be taken for a long time, some people have to consider the cost of taking medicine, so when such a big gap occurs, patients will be confused.
Why are the prices of medicines different? There are generally three reasons:
. Ordinary antihypertensive drugs can last for 4-8 hours. This requires patients to take 2-3 times a day to ensure the concentration of the drug. Some drugs can ensure the stability of the drug within a day, which means that it is enough once a day. However, only ensures the stability of blood pressure, and also saves patients a lot of trouble , so the latter price is naturally higher.
In addition, different manufacturers use different processes and dosages, and the pricing strategies are different , and the final price is also different. If the original drug produced by the manufacturer includes the R&D cost and time cost, it is a considerable amount and the price is naturally high. However, using ready-made technology, these costs can be saved and the pricing is cheap, but in fact the efficacy of the drug is the same.
The third point is that has different types . Usually the first generation is not perfect, and may have side effects such as nausea and vomiting. By the second and third generations, these side effects will be improved or reduced, so they are different from the previous pricing.
When buying medicine, don’t just look at the price. Consult a doctor and choose the one that suits you. If the medicine is similar, choose the best one.
The number of hypertensive patients in my country is 245 million, but the control rate is very low. Why do many people not treat it?
Many people don’t know that they are sick because blood pressure rises slowly and inadvertently, and it may only take several years to change. If you don’t have a test, you won’t know that you are sick. Naturally, you won’t have the awareness of controlling blood pressure and managing blood pressure.
knows that they have high blood pressure, but Not everyone is willing to take medicine . Some people think it is not very serious yet. Wait first, some people think it is not safe to take medicine, and they can control it through "hypertensive food", which will eventually delay the condition.
People who take medicine often have problems such as irregularity, omissions, and dosages that do not meet the standard , so blood pressure is always not controlled, and they may give up halfway, and only after the blood pressure rises will remember to take it.
Perhaps it is precisely the above three reasons that only 1/4 of the people receiving treatment are responsible for treatment, and only 16.8% of the patients with have been controlled.
Blood pressure is increased, must you take medicine?
If you just measure the increase in bleeding pressure, don’t panic first. It may be caused by nervousness, obesity, staying up late, and drinking. In addition, kidney disease, intracranial tumors, coronary heart disease, pregnancy, taking the wrong medicine , etc., may also cause the blood pressure to suddenly rise. After solving related problems, blood pressure will drop.
Not taking medicine does not mean doing nothing. On the contrary, it pays more than patients taking medicine. Next, we need to work hard to lose weight and return to the normal range as soon as possible. We can control our appetite, exercise, and weight loss surgery. Relax your mood and don’t stay up late. The regular sleep and stable biological clock will also be helpful for controlling blood pressure.
Patients who take the medicine find that their blood pressure has not dropped. Don’t be too anxious. It may be caused by renal artery stenosis . You can continue to observe. If the stenosis further aggravates, surgery must be performed. Elderly patients need to pay attention.
Although there are many medicines for patients to choose from now on, it is not enough to just take medicine on the road to lowering blood pressure
You must strictly require yourself in your diet, eat less salt and eat less animal oil, potassium-rich food , such as edamame, black fungus, Tremella , strawberry , etc. Generally, fruits and vegetables have good potassium content. This dietary pattern is less burden on the kidneys and can also help control weight.
fatty meat, fried meat, braised meat, bacon as little as possible, and eat it in boiled water and stir-fried. To reduce unnecessary parties, it is best to drop alcohol without sticking to . Other snacks containing alcohol should also be avoided.
In terms of exercise, you can exercise appropriately without any damage to your heart function. You can ride a bike or walk to and from work every day, and go to the park or gym to check in and exercise on weekends. When the weight drops slowly, it means that you have reached a bottleneck. You should use other exercises and change your exercise methods to further reduce fat and blood pressure.
For example, it was originally just running, but now you can combine running with skipping rope , or run with squats to stimulate fat consumption from different angles and strengths.
When exercising, Pay attention to heart rate and blood pressure to avoid excessive exercise and discomfort. When there is any change in blood pressure, communicate with the doctor more frequently to avoid organ damage. If the condition changes or you cannot handle it, don’t hesitate and go to the hospital for examination in time.
The matter of taking medicine should be taken with caution. It does not need to be replaced when the condition is stable. When purchasing, you should consider the efficacy and side effects of the medicine, which is beneficial to health, and the second is the price. Of course, you can also choose drugs that can be reimbursed by medical insurance under the guidance of a doctor, so that the burden of taking medicine is lighter.
