Heat stroke is easy to happen in summer. Are there any hidden dangers if parents use "Liushen Pill" as a summer heatstroke prevention drug for babies? A four-year-old girl had a fever, cough, and sore throat for five days. Her father treated her and gave her 11-hour dusk pills three times, 10 pills each time. The girl soon developed facial flushing, cold and wet limbs, chest tightness, nausea, vomiting, and oral medication. Symptoms of poisoning include blue color, irregular breathing, and unfortunately he died despite rescue. The reason why Liushen Pills cause drug poisoning is that Liushen Pills contain toad venom, and its active ingredient is toad toxin. Once Liushen Pills are abused, some people will be poisoned by one overdose, and some people will be poisoned by multiple overdoses. The time for poisoning from taking is as fast as 20 minutes, as slow as half an hour to 2 hours, and in some cases more than 12 hours. Therefore, the indications and dosage of Liushen Pills should be strictly controlled.
After summer, obese babies are prone to prickly heat, heat boils on the skin folds, head and face, and even often have symptoms such as sore throat and crying at night. Liushen Pill is a famous throat medicine that clears away heat and detoxifies. Many families with children use it as a remedy during the summer. It is also customary for children without any disease to take Liushen Pills to prevent infant prickly heat and sores. Some parents even think that just eating a few more mouthfuls is enough. If their children eat too much, they will be treated if they are sick. Without disease prevention, they will have a safe summer. They don't know that taking Liushen Pills can easily lead to adverse reactions, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
What is worrying is that these dangers have not received enough attention. Liushen Pills contain toad venom, and its active ingredients are toad toxins. Overdosage can cause poisoning. Therefore, infants and young children under 2 years old should use it with caution, and it should not be used on newborn babies. Liushen Pills contain ingredients such as musk and realgar. Musk can cause uterine contractions and can cause miscarriage or premature birth. Pregnant women are also prohibited from taking realgar, so they should not be used by pregnant women.
Combined use with digoxin can lead to digoxin-like poisoning, causing bradycardia and arrhythmia. Liushen Pills inhibit digestive enzymes. It is not suitable to be used in combination with multi-enzyme tablets, pepsin, and amylase, otherwise the efficacy of digestive enzymes will be reduced or ineffective. Sulfates will promote the oxidation of arsenic sulfide in realgar and increase the toxic reaction of realgar. Therefore, Liushen Pills should not be taken in conjunction with sulfates (such as atropine sulfate, ferrous sulfate, etc.). Take Suiodide tablets and Liushan Pills containing cinnabar at the same time, because the divalent mercury in cinnabar can combine with iodine to form toxic mercury iodide salt precipitation, which can lead to drug-induced enteritis.
