Precautions for medication for hamartoma

Many patients with hamartomas do not take the medicines properly or at the wrong time, which results in the medicines not being able to fully exert their efficacy, which is not conducive to the recovery and improvement of the condition. Therefore, we should know the precautions for taking medicines. Today, I will share with you the precautions for taking medicines for hamartomas:

1. Usually there will be reminders on the prescription for taking the medicine, such as "before meals" or "after meals", telling the patient the time to take each medicine. Please be sure to comply with these instructions, as this is very important.

2. If you take the medicine as prescribed by your doctor, the medicine will start to work the moment you take it. It is very important to take a specific amount of medicine at a certain time.

3. Before meals refers to about thirty minutes before eating, and after meals refers to thirty minutes after finishing eating.

4. What should I do if I haven't eaten? At this time, please take "time" as the primary consideration. In other words, even if you haven't eaten, please take the medicine 30 minutes after the original meal is scheduled to end.

5. Regarding the idea that “if you take medicine without eating, your stomach will be damaged,” you don’t actually need to worry too much.

6. The time specified by the doctor is closely related to the state of the gastrointestinal tract. Simply put, if the doctor hopes that gastric acid will have less impact on the drug, he will specify that the drug should be taken before meals when there is not much food in the stomach. If the drug is a burden on the gastrointestinal tract, it will be specified to be taken after meals.

7. However, there is something more important than the time to take medicine, which is the frequency of taking medicine. Please be sure to take medicine three times a day at the "before meals" and "after meals" times specified by the doctor. Therefore, you should take medicine even if you do not eat. In addition, if you forget to take the medicine before meals, you do not have to wait until the next meal to take it, just take it after meals. What is important is not "when" you take medicine, but "how many times" you take medicine a day.

8. Some confused patients always forget to take medicine within the prescribed time. In order to meet the number of times to take medicine, they take the amount they forgot to take at one time. This is very wrong. You must not "forget to take medicine this time, take two doses next time"! The result of this may be that the disease is not cured, but more serious side effects occur!

I believe you must have understood the precautions of using drugs for hamartoma now!
