How to use drugs correctly to treat small cell lung cancer

How should we use medicine correctly to treat small cell lung cancer? When you are sick, you need to take medicine. However, not everyone knows how to take medicine correctly. Often, some people aggravate their condition or even cause new diseases because they do not master the method. Today, let's learn about how to use medicine correctly to treat small cell lung cancer:

1. Distinguish between "medicine" and "health" brands

Drugstores not only sell medicines, but also a variety of health foods are often mixed in with the medicine shelves. Experts remind that health foods do not have the effect of curing diseases. When purchasing, you need to identify whether the product is a medicine or a health product. First, check whether it is marked with the word "medicine". Generally speaking, only drugs marked with the word "medicine" are clinically verified and have guaranteed efficacy.

2. Don’t trust the salesperson’s recommendations on medicines

Some affordable pharmacies have lower prices than many hospitals, so many people go to pharmacies with doctor's prescriptions to buy medicine. Experts point out that it is okay to go to pharmacies to buy medicine, but do not change the medicine on your own. Some people find that the pharmacy does not have the medicine on the prescription, so they will change to a similar medicine, which is very inappropriate. Because there are many drugs of the same type but different names, the efficacy varies greatly, and doctors' prescriptions are mostly based on clinical efficacy, so do not change the medicine on the prescription on your own.

Many people are undecided about buying medicines, so they consult salespersons and buy medicines based on their recommendations. However, salespersons are not doctors, and they have no clinical experience. Some salespersons even promote medicines that are not actually effective for reasons such as drug profits. Experts remind people not to blindly believe in advertisements, but to listen to doctors' advice or use some old brands of medicines, which can guarantee quality.

Don't be superstitious about the idea that "imported drugs are better than domestic drugs, and expensive drugs are better than cheap drugs." In fact, the price of a drug is determined by many factors, including the difficulty of collecting raw materials, the difficulty of the production process, the size of the output, the scope of sales, and the quality of packaging. It cannot be completely equated with the efficacy of the drug or the quality of the drug.

3. Don’t take too much medicine when you are sick

Many people hope to solve their illness as soon as possible by taking more medicine after they get sick, and they often buy many kinds of medicine to take. However, experts point out that this practice is very wrong. Disease recovery is a process, and many diseases will have accompanying symptoms. Just take medicine targeting the cause (that's it, the symptoms will disappear as the disease improves, and there is no need to take other medicines. What's more, many medicines are compound preparations, and the use of multiple drugs may lead to repeated medication. Taking too many drugs, the stomach and intestines cannot bear it, which is not conducive to recovery.
