Recently, it was reported that I ate myself in ICU by taking cold medicine. In fact, taking cold medicine itself will not do any harm to my health, but if I take several kinds of medicine together, it may have huge side effects. Now there are many tragedies caused by eating cold medicine indiscriminately. Here are some medicines that can't be mixed.

First, Tylenol and Fenbid (ibuprofen) should not be mixed as much as possible.

Usually, many girls will take ibuprofen when they have dysmenorrhea. If they simply take ibuprofen, there will be no big side effects, but if the patient still has a cold and is taking Tylenol, it is very likely to cause tragedy!

Tylenol is a common home medicine in our life. The main components of Tylenol are acetaminophen, chlorphenamine, dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine. These pharmaceutical ingredients are not dangerous, and even if the patient accidentally takes a little ibuprofen, it is within the normal dosage range. The normal dose of Tylenol mixed with Fenbid (ibuprofen) will not lead to liver failure, but if the patient has a serious cold and takes a large dose of Tylenol by mistake, acetaminophen in Tylenol will cause liver damage, liver and kidney failure, and then the patient will die directly.

2. Antibiotics such as cephalosporins and metronidazole files should not be taken together with Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.

Huoxiang Zhengqi water contains alcohol, which will produce acetaldehyde after being digested in the body. Because Huoxiang Zhengqi water contains alcohol, taking alcohol together with antibiotics may trigger disulfiram reaction and produce toxicity. Because cephalosporins have the function of controlling acetaldehyde metabolism, it will make acetaldehyde in patients accumulate together, causing acetaldehyde poisoning in patients, and may even induce liver injury and cause symptoms such as apnea.

Third, try not to mix cold medicine with antihypertensive drugs.

At present, most of the cold medicines on the market are mixed compound preparations, and some components of such preparations may affect blood pressure, such as pseudojute. If patients are taking antihypertensive drugs while taking some cold medicines, the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs will not only be affected, but also may lead to extremely unstable blood pressure and life-threatening.

Don't take drugs without authorization when you have a cold. Consult a doctor. Children should try to use children's drugs. I hope everyone can be careful not to mix drugs to ensure the safety of medication!
