Recently, this screenshot of WeChat Moments has been widely circulated by many netizens...
is talking about the new strain of XBB that is spreading horribly abroad.
also said that XBB mainly attacks cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diarrhea, so people in China are reminded to remember to stock up on medicines, especially montmorillonite powder, norfloxacin such medicines...
Once this word spread, many people had no intention of celebrating the New Year.
Directly began to silently search for nearby montmorillonite powder and norfloxacin...
In just one night, these drugs have been sold out...
The online montmorillonite powder has been sold out. ...
@UPstream News
Offline montmorillonite powder is basically gone...
Some store clerks are confused. They don’t know why so many people suddenly come to buy these drugs that regulate intestinal flora and anti-inflammatory drugs.
@UPstream News
But some medicines really cannot be taken randomly...
For example, the montmorillonite powder that is being snapped up, It has side effects, because its particles are difficult to excrete from the body and may cause constipation if left in the body;
And for children, another popular norfloxacin, , is more likely to inhibit cartilage development and is a banned drug!
But the scary thing now is that everyone seems to not care so much, and buy it first...

First of all, I think everyone’s urgent motivation to buy medicine is understandable.
Because XBB1.5 has been raging abroad recently, it has become the most popular strain in the United States and has extremely high immune evasion capabilities.
According to foreign media reports, the number of hospitalizations in the United States has increased sharply recently, reaching the highest level in the past five months.
This situation already occurred in Singapore more than two months ago.
also said that XBB has the strongest immune evasion ability among the many mutant strains so far.
Even domestic experts recently said that XBB may spread faster...
Therefore, it is possible for to be infected with again.
According to statements from many media or netizens, the most obvious difference between the XBB family and other strains is mainly manifested in gastrointestinal symptoms.
Such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.
So, under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand those who want to urgently buy montmorillonite powder or norfloxacin.

However, it is a good thing to prepare in advance, but there is no need to be too panic and anxious.
Let’s take the XBB family strain, which is the most hotly discussed now, as an example. The mutated strain
is similar to the grandchild of Omicron . It spread rapidly in many countries around the world in the second half of this year. Is
XBB scary?
According to the descriptions of many experts, its infection speed is indeed very fast, and its immune evasion ability is extremely strong.
However, according to foreign data, its pathogenicity is no different from previous strains.
In other words, the infection is very strong, but the lethality has not become stronger.
is also why, based on the available evidence, the committee believes that there are not enough differences between XBB* and BQ.1*, or that they are particularly different from other descendants of Omicron, so there is no need to give them new names.
In addition, one thing we need to remember is that there is currently no specific cure for new crown .
All the medicines you can buy only play a relieving role, and there is no claim that taking them will cure the disease immediately.
So in this case, it doesn’t matter if you can’t buy montmorillonite powder or norfloxacin.
Generally, if symptoms such as vomiting and nausea occur after infection, they can be relieved by themselves.
So finally, I will share my own real experience.
I actually had symptoms of nausea and vomiting in the first three days after becoming positive.
I would vomit after eating. I would vomit even after drinking water. When I didn’t have to vomit, I would keep retching... So for two whole days, I didn’t eat.
At that time, I did not take the medicines that are being bought like crazy now. What I took was Huoxiang Zhengqi water .
I have to say that the relief effect is quite obvious, so friends who really want to stock up on some "anti-nausea and vomiting medicine" may consider this.
There is no need to rush to grab a medicine. Not only will people who really need it not be able to buy the medicine, it will also waste your time and energy and do a lot of useless work.
Finally, let me emphasize and summarize again: The XBB family is now raging abroad and has also appeared in China in early December. It is highly contagious and has a strong immune evasion ability, which may lead to secondary infections. Therefore, even if you have been exposed to the sun once, you must take good protection and wear a mask when going out!
As for medicine, you can stock up appropriately, but if you really can’t get it, it really doesn’t matter. Just like ibuprofen is useful, but there are also many people around me who don’t take ibuprofen, but take other medicines to relieve the symptoms, because there is currently no specific medicine for the new coronavirus!
The medicines you are buying following the trend can actually be replaced by other medicines...
