Ibuprofen has become popular, and so have pill boxes. In the past two days, short video netizens have "magically restored" the patterns of various ibuprofen packaging boxes, which not only brings laughter to people, but also brings confusion to everyone: Do the different schematic movements on the ibuprofen packaging boxes represent different curative effects?
On December 18, Professor Kang Zhen, deputy director of the National Licensed Pharmacist Development Research Center of China Pharmaceutical University, told reporters, "Although the movements of the packaging box patterns shown in the video are different, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all movements in a state of movement, and the key muscle parts are marked with signs such as 'dots' or 'stars'. Different 'ibuprofen' have different effects. The strength of sustained-release capsules is analgesia, not fever reduction."
Kang Zhen reminded that if you look carefully, you will find that the chemical names of the drugs in the packaging box shown in the video are all ibuprofen sustained-release capsules. There is a difference in efficacy between ibuprofen sustained-release capsules/tablets and ibuprofen capsules/tablets. Ibuprofen capsules/tablets are mainly used to reduce fever, and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules/tablets are mainly used to relieve pain, especially muscle pain caused by exercise, such as strains during exercise, muscle soreness caused by sudden movement after long periods of inactivity, etc. This is also the reason why sports-related diagrams are used on the packaging boxes of ibuprofen sustained-release capsules produced by different manufacturers. Of course, it is not ruled out that companies can imitate each other.
"Of course, if you suffer from physical pain after being infected with the new crown , you can also use ibuprofen sustained-release capsules/tablets. It should be noted that it has no or only a very weak antipyretic effect." Professor Kang Zhen explained that it is not uncommon to mistakenly use ibuprofen sustained-release capsules/tablets to reduce fever because they do not understand the difference between the two. However, because they think the effect is too slow, they increase the dose, causing gastrointestinal tract irritation or gastric ulcers .
reporter found that in addition to ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, ibuprofen preparation types also include ibuprofen suspension, ibuprofen tablets, ibuprofen granules, etc. So what are the differences between different dosage forms? How should we choose it in home treatment?
"Suspensions and granules are mainly dosage forms for children (over 6 months old). Firstly, they are easy to swallow, and secondly, they contain a small dose of ibuprofen. Adult patients are suitable for dosage forms such as capsules and tablets. It should be noted that suspension and need to be shaken well Professor Kang Zhen reminded, "No matter which dosage form you use, you must first read the indications on the outer packaging of the drug to make sure it is used to reduce fever or analgesia and anti-inflammatory."
