Although autumn has just begun, many patients have begun to make appointments for cream prescriptions to prepare for winter tonic. Yueyang Hospital has also opened a prescription appointment recently, and there are long queues in the waiting room every day. This year, many patients have begun to favor the "two-material" paste. Let's go and have a look together!
In recent years, Ms. Shen has made a special trip from Ningbo to Yueyang Hospital every year to make an appointment with a paste. This year she plans to try the "two-in-one" paste. Ms. Shen said: "I have been taking the paste for about ten years. After taking it, I feel the effect is very good, so I come every year and take it twice a year."
Generally, one paste prescription can be taken for one and a half months, while two paste prescriptions take longer, about three months, which can play a consolidation role. Fang Shengquan, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology at Yueyang Hospital, introduced: "One ointment prescription is equivalent to two weeks of Chinese medicine. Combined with the fine ingredients we often use, boil it together and can usually be taken for one and a half months. The two ointment prescriptions are a continuation of conventional medications, and are a good choice for people with weak constitutions and inconsistent qi and blood nutrition." The doctor suggested that when the one ointment prescription is about to be finished, the patient should go to the hospital to take the pulse of and again, and determine whether the ointment prescription in the next stage needs to be adjusted appropriately through diagnosis. In addition, it is best for patients who are first treated with prescriptions to take prescriptions for a period of time. "Kailu Prescription" is a targeted decoction taken before taking the cream prescription. The purpose is to adjust the physiological state and better play the role of the cream prescription in health.
"Some patients often have abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and tongue coating, is particularly greasy, which is what traditional Chinese medicine calls spleen deficiency and dampness. For these patients, we generally have to prescribe one to two weeks of prescription. When these symptoms disappear before taking ointment prescriptions, it is easier to achieve the expected results." Fang Shengquan said.
Many respiratory diseases are prone to attack in winter. The paste can be used to achieve one prescription according to different constitutions and different conditions, so as to prevent recurrence and regulate the physical condition. Therefore, many patients with respiratory diseases come to consult the precautions for taking the paste.
Doctors remind that not all patients with respiratory diseases are suitable for taking ointment prescriptions. Tang Jie, chief physician of the respiratory department of Yueyang Hospital, said: "Patients with stable chronic respiratory system diseases are more suitable for taking ointment prescriptions. Patients with acute attacks, such as yellow sputum, acute infection, and fever, are not suitable for winter supplementation."
