Will taking the miracle antipyretic drug "ethylamine phenol" aggravate high blood pressure? The pharmacist named 6 types of people not to eat indiscriminately
Will taking too much ethylamine, a common anti-epidemic drug, aggravate high blood pressure?
As the epidemic continues to spread, people’s demand for household medicines has increased sharply. Many people are asking about various medicines to relieve symptoms at clinics or pharmacies. Among them, “Acetaminophen”, commonly known as propylene glycol, is the most popular one. surface.
Among the choices of various analgesic and antipyretic drugs, Acetaminophen is currently recognized as an analgesic and antipyretic drug that has little effect on blood pressure and has no obvious drug interactions.
However, in February 2022, there was a small British trial to study whether continuous use of pranagin for a short period of time (2 weeks) would cause fluctuations in blood pressure. The study tracked 110 subjects, two-thirds of whom were taking treatment. For hypertension or high blood pressure drugs, in a randomized double-blind manner, the experimental group required subjects to take 1g of acetaminophen analgesics 4 times a day for two consecutive weeks, that is, 4g/day (the common dosage in Taiwan is 500mg every 4 to 6 hours Once, it is generally recommended that the maximum daily dose does not exceed 4000mg).
After the two weeks, placebo was taken for another two weeks in weeks 3 to 4. The control group took a placebo for four weeks, and their blood pressure fluctuations were monitored for 24 hours. The results showed that the average daytime systolic blood pressure of the experimental group increased by 4.7 mm Hg compared with the control group.
Acute liver failure due to indiscriminate use of painkillers? Pay attention to these people
According to the results of this trial, the systolic blood pressure of hypertensive patients taking ethylamine phenol increased more than that of patients taking placebo, although this study still has room for more discussion in various aspects. However, we would like to take this opportunity to remind patients with high blood pressure to pay more attention to changes in their blood pressure when taking Acetaminophen. After all, increased blood pressure is one of the important risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
The public is reminded that the most common side effect of taking Punaton is liver concerns. Although Punaton is relatively harmless to the stomach, if used in excess or with alcohol, it is likely to cause damage to the liver or cause acute The condition of liver failure.
Therefore, remember not to drink alcohol when taking it. If you have liver and kidney problems, are underweight or malnourished, drink alcohol frequently, or are currently taking anticoagulants such as Warfarin, it is recommended that you drink alcohol before use. Consult a physician or pharmacist.
I hope everyone will pay more attention to their health during the epidemic.
