Good news: National Alliance of Chinese Patent Medicines: Prices of 16 Chinese medicines are reduced, of which this medicine is a blessing for cardiovascular patients.
Before the stage, major media online have successively reported an announcement on the "joint procurement of Chinese patent medicines".
Someone may ask: "Is it related to us whether the centralized procurement or not?" some.
To put it bluntly, the relevant departments package certain drugs and form group purchases, and then directly negotiate prices with the drug manufacturer with such a large amount. In this way, the pharmaceutical factory will lower the drug price while ensuring the revenue of the volume.
So, when the drugs after the price increase of various intermediate links are eliminated, will the burden on the patient be reduced?
Another point: the varieties included in the centralized procurement announcement are often those whose quality and efficacy are evaluated consistently, which is equivalent to adding a layer of guarantee for patients in all aspects of drug quality. It can be seen that this announcement is a blessing for the benefit of the people.
Among the varieties announced this time, there is a variety related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases - Xinkeshu. Let’s learn about its valuable common sense (including banned people):
There are five types of Xinkeshu: Salvia miltiorrhiza, Panax notoginseng, Muxiang , hawthorn, and pueraria root. Although there are not many ingredients, they are all very representative medicinal materials.
Salvia miltiorrhizae is bitter and clear, and can return to the liver meridian. It is a good product for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Panax notoginseng is bitter and warm, which can promote blood circulation and relieve pain and can also replenish deficiency. It has the title of "stop bleeding and not leave stasis, and promote blood circulation and not damage the body"; Muxiang can promote qi of , Sanjiao , which shows its strength of qi.
As for hawthorn, perhaps what we are most familiar with is its digestive and accumulation side. In fact, it can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and it can relieve the heart. This is exactly what it plays. The other Pueraria root is said to be an important medicine for treating strong back pain, and it is obviously a code to prevent pain.
Looking at these components, we can summarize their core functions into two words - "transmission" and "pain". What can I do? Open the blood vessels. Where does the pain come from? Caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis.
Qi stagnation is like a balloon blocking the passage, and blood and qi flow together, so blood will also be blocked. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "if it is not smooth, it will hurt", so pain is a typical manifestation of qi stagnation and blood stasis. And this pain is still stable. Because blood stasis will be fixed, and the stagnant place of blood stasis is impacted by other running blood, it will cause acupuncture-like pain, and in severe cases, it may even feel a sense of tearing the blood vessels. In addition, getting angry, worried, depression, and anger may be the fuse that causes pain, or aggravates the original pain.
As soon as the anger comes up, the impact force of the blood vessels will suddenly increase, so that the blood stasis is impacted, which in turn leads to the intensification of the pain.
The five ingredients of Xinkeshu can be focused on solving the pain problems of qi stagnation and blood stasis. Specifically:
Muxiang promotes qi and relieves the internal organs, which can make the heart and chest full of tightness, sigh, belching, , farting, etc. qi is not smooth, thereby opening the qi and blood circulation channel; Salvia miltiorrhiza, Panax notoginseng, and hawthorn clears stagnation and makes the blood active; Pueraria root opens the pain in the neck, shoulders and back. Therefore, the scope of action of the heart-relieving can be clearly seen.
However, some people only read part of the text when reading the drug instructions, and blindly use the medicine without waiting for the full description. This will easily use the wrong medicine, which will increase the risk of safe use of the medicine.
Let Xinkeshu say: If we only see the words " coronary heart disease , angina pectoris, high lipid blood, hypertension " in the description, and then use the medicine blindly, it is easy to use the wrong medicine.
For example: heart yang deficiency people cannot use heart ease. Because heart yang deficiency is equivalent to heart qi deficiency and fear of cold. Heart qi deficiency will inevitably lead to palpitations, shortness of breath and fatigue. If you use qi-driven medicine at this time, it will aggravate the symptoms of shortness of breath and fatigue and aggravate the condition. In severe cases, it may even cause life danger, because qi-driven will consume qi!
Therefore, when choosing cardiovascular medicine, patients must not take it off and use it lightly and privately, but follow the doctor's advice after seeking medical treatment.
