, you must not take the following medicines together.
01. Cold medicine + Cold medicine
Many parents have this idea that they will get better faster by taking several cold medicines together, but they don’t know that taking this kind of risk is very high.
Cold medicines usually contain multiple ingredients, for example, some cold medicines will contain acetaminophen , chlorphenamine maleate and artificial beef . If the child is given two cold medicines at the same time, and the ingredients of these two medicines are similar, it will lead to overdose of the medicine, which will cause liver damage.
What parents need to remember is: no medicine can be taken beyond the regular dose, and only one cold medicine can be taken at one course of the disease.
02. Cold medicine + antipyretic medicine
Overall people think that children should take cold medicine if they catch a cold. If they have a fever immediately, of course they should take antipyretic medicine again. This method is also incorrect.
Because most cold medicines have ingredients to reduce fever. Taking cold medicine and taking antipyretics will also lead to overdose problems, which will do more harm than good for children.
03. Anti-allergic drug + macrolide drug
loratadine is a commonly used oral anti-allergic drug for babies with allergic diseases and does not contain hormones.
But it should be noted that there is no safety problem to take loratadine alone, but it is easy to get into trouble if you take macrolide antibiotic together.
Because taking these two drugs together will increase the concentration of anti-allergic drugs in the blood, resulting in overdose of drugs and put the child's health at risk.
04. Probiotic + antibiotic
Probiotic, as the name suggests, it mostly belongs to the category of bacteria . Most antibiotics are antibacterial drugs, which means they are used to kill bacteria. Take
and the two types of
together. While the antibiotics kill harmful bacteria, they will naturally kill probiotics, which will eventually lead to the probiotics not playing the role they should have. Therefore, it is best not to take probiotics and antibiotics together.
05. Iron agent /Zinc agent + Dairy products
Some foods or drugs contain relatively high calcium, which will reduce the absorption of iron and zinc in the body.
For example, breast milk, milk, yogurt, etc. are all foods with high calcium content. Drinking too much will hinder the absorption of iron in the food. It is easy to have iron deficiency in the long run, causing iron deficiency anemia , etc.
06. Montmorillonite Powder + Other Drugs
Montmorillonite Powder is a common antidiarrhea drug. Its main function is to adsorb and fix pathogens in the digestive tract, and then excrete them out of the body together.
If you want to increase the effect of montmorillonite powder, it is best to take it on an empty stomach, so that it will not affect the effect of other drugs. However, if montmorillonite powder is taken with other drugs, the efficacy of the drug will be reduced because the ingredients of other drugs will be adsorbed by montmorillonite powder, and the drug has no chance of effective. After using
montmorillonite smear, it will form a protective film in the digestive tract, and the digestive tract cannot absorb the components of the drug, so the effect of the drug will be greatly reduced.
If you want to take other medications after taking montmorillonite powder, it is best to have a half hour interval.
07. Motion Sickness Medicine + Cold Medicine
Many people take motion sickness medicine when they are motion sickness. How should they take medicine when they encounter a cold?
motion sickness drugs are complexes that use diphenhydramine and aminophylline to produce antihistamine effects. It is this complex that people take motion sickness medicine that calms down and sometimes leads to drowsiness.
. Commonly used cold medicines also have antihistamine components, just use one of them.
Common cold medicines include Chinese patent medicines that clear heat and detoxify, as well as cough and phlegm-relieving. If there is fever, there will also be antipyretic and analgesic drugs. Therefore, before taking motion sickness medicine, you must clearly see the main ingredients of common cold medicines to avoid the superposition of anti-allergic drugs and the risk of adverse reactions.
In short, taking medicine casually without medical advice may cause adverse risks. If you are sure to take two or more drugs at the same time, be sure to follow the doctor's instructions and read the instructions carefully.
