Almost every adult the question "Can you take the medication correctly? "The answer is" Yes. " This problem come to grips with the organization of STADA, on whose initiative was launched new program " Medication for life "To inform people about the different drugs and their proper use. The purpose of this program is to improve the pharmaceutical literacy.

In cancers of the program, a series of meetings with representatives of the media, held a series of radio transmission, created a page on the popular social network.

The organization of the program is primarily concerned with the fact that today people began to take more medication , Especially those that are sold without prescription. Many are free to decide on the need to use of a drug without the advice of a doctor, so doctors decided to seriously address this situation.

Ivan Glushakov, CEO of STADA, at a regular press conference spoke about the mistakes most often make when taking medications. According to colleagues Glushakova, pharmaceutical holding STADA made the right decision when each package with his medicine began to put insert, which has all the details, even if it is not at its best describes the drug. They also noted that it is necessary to do everything possible to minimize the harm caused by drugs, as most of these people take without a prescription. In addition, experts discussed the major errors associated with medication.

The first mistake

According to doctors, any drug that is sold without a prescription, you can take no more than a few days, and if not disappeared symptoms, seek medical advice. Otherwise, the response to the drug may be unpredictable. Receiving means such as Biseptolum, for example, led to the fact that about one third of all pathogenic bacteria   It proved to be resistant to its effects.

The second error

Everyone should understand that the drugs do not take effect immediately. It is not necessary to take the next tablet to accelerate the desired effect, since it can significantly increase the side effects . To accept simultaneously some of medicinal funds worth only in the fact the case of, if the such treatment spelled out doctor. Antibiotics For example, it is very dangerous to mix with each other and with preparations of hypertension . hypnotics . antidepressants And aspirin can affect certain drugs for diabetics. Drugs that envelop   gastric mucosa Pointless to take most other medicines. Even when the doctor prescribes several medications at the same time, it should be clarified once again that they are compatible. This is true even of therapy herbs.

The third mistake

The wash down medicines? Tablets can only drink water . Sweet beverages irritate the stomach, caffeine, calcium from milk and tannins from the tea can react with medications. Simultaneous the use of any alcoholic beverages with anesthetizing preparations can significantly enhance the action of of the latter. Some medications can even lead to stomach ulcers, liver disease.

The fourth mistake

When the stomach is empty, and this condition occurs within 4-5 hours following ingestion, hydrochloric acid and gastric juice small. Their number increases as we approach the next meal, and is at the maximum level when the first portions. After the meal the level of hydrochloric acid begins to decrease gradually. It was on these data oriented doctors recommend taking the medicine when: before, during or after a meal. Violation of reception may result in unpredictable effect. Most drugs all same is accepted before a meal, but necessarily is necessary to u know at the doctor or on the loose leaf of the drug, when his is necessary to take.

The fifth error

Oddly enough, many people keep their medications properly, but believe they are doing everything right. The most detrimental to drugs is sunlight, high temperature and humidity. In the case of storage of medicines in the kitchen, you should take care to keep the temperature was above the norm, when stored in the bathroom, most likely means to face high humidity. Also do not forget that any storage should be available for children, although many of us do not take the phrase seriously. The safest thing you can get from the delayed or tainted pills - an allergic reaction, the worst - until severe poisoning. Throw pills down the toilet is not recommended, it is best to place them in a tight package and throw it in the garbage disposal to restrict the access of children and animals.
