Chinese Folk Health Tips

In general, patients with hypertension need to be adjusted in the winter of drugs, very troublesome. Because of the need for life to take antihypertensive drugs, so a lot of antihypertensive drugs in patients with adverse reactions to the existence of numerous concerns. Indeed, antihypertensive drugs on the human body may have different side effects, so patients with both medication according to doctor’s advice and pay attention to prevent the occurrence of adverse reactions.

■ how to deal with “first-dose medication,” a serious response?

Clinical findings with a small number of patients with special physical, in the use of certain antihypertensive drugs, it will happen first-dose reaction. Can cause first-dose response to α-blocker antihypertensive drug prazosin, terazosin, etc.; β-blockers propranolol, metoprolol, atenolol, timolol, etc.; calcium antagonist nifedipine (nifedipine), etc.. When the α-adrenergic receptor blockers and β-blockers or diuretics (eg hydrochlorothiazide, etc.) in combination more likely. Have seen patients with symptoms of dizziness, palpitations, sweating, weakness, nausea, blurred vision and other symptoms. Patients who have severe reactions can be rapid decline in blood pressure, loss of consciousness, bradycardia, heart failure and other symptoms. If the rescue is not timely, can cause death.

Prevention: the first dose of medication doses should be small, regular doses of 1/4-1/2 for the future according to needs and conditions and then gradually increasing doses. α-blockers or diuretics and β-blockers combination should pay special attention. The first time, best be applied under medical supervision. Upon the occurrence of first-dose reaction, the patient should be immediately discontinued and bed rest. If the patient’s symptoms are not serious, after a period of time can be gradually self-healing, if severe symptoms should be immediately sent to hospital for treatment.

■ how to respond to antihypertensive drugs on sexual function?

Long-term use, such as diuretic antihypertensive drugs such as hydrochlorothiazide can cause male erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, ejaculation disorder; β-blocker antihypertensive drug classes, such as propranolol (Inderal), metoprolol, atenolol , carvedilol and other major impact of sexual desire; calcium antagonist antihypertensive drug classes, such as felodipine, nifedipine, amlodipine to equal decrease was mainly caused by sexual desire, ejaculation disorder; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor antihypertensive drugs such as captopril, enalapril, cilazapril, benazepril, etc. there is no significant effect on sexual function; α1-blocker antihypertensive drug classes, such as prazosin and other barriers to the contrary, an improvement of ejaculation, does not affect the erection and sexual desire; angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), such as losartan, valsartan, irbesartan and so on, in the buck at the same time from the erection, sexual desire, ejaculation three pronged approach to improve sexual dysfunction.

Prevention: try to avoid an impact on sexual function of the antihypertensive drug combination. There have been sexual dysfunction in the elderly, in the absence of contraindications as far as choice of less impact on sexual function or to promote the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor antagonist.

■ how to deal with because of “over-step-down” and cause a stroke happen?

Excessive blood pressure can cause brain ischemic stroke, especially at night. Common causes of excessive blood pressure medication time, excessive or inappropriate medication.

Prevention: to adjust the dose of antihypertensive drugs should be under the guidance of a doctor and not an unauthorized amount. 9-10 am in vivo blood pressure in general when the first peak in the afternoon 6-8 pm for the second peak is usually the lowest around midnight. Generally sleep during the day than the decline in blood pressure after about 20%. Thus, hypertensive patients should be selected in the morning medication. If you take the short, medium and effective antihypertensive drugs, need to wear two or three times a day, pay attention to is not the best medicine before going to bed. Because the natural decline in blood pressure at night, coupled with the role of drugs will lead to blood pressure dropped significantly. Moreover, the night is slow blood flow, reduced blood flow, blood viscosity increased, cerebrovascular accident prone. However, there are individual patient’s blood pressure did not drop at night, or actually increased, so that patients can be at bedtime medication, or use long-acting antihypertensive drugs in order to avoid blood pressure fluctuations.

■ how to deal with the sudden withdrawal of blood pressure caused by “anti-jump”?

Long-term use in patients with hypertension in some antihypertensive drugs such as clonidine, propranolol, or methyl-dopa and so on, if a sudden withdrawal, blood pressure occurs, “anti-jump” phenomenon, the blood pressure may suddenly rise, or even lead to serious of hypertensive crisis.

Prevention: taking a long time or use of these drugs, even when the basic symptoms of sudden withdrawal can not be brought under control, the need to replace drug withdrawal when a gradual reduction under the guidance of a doctor.

■ how to deal with “orthostatic hypotension”?

Orthostatic hypotension is a sudden from a supine to upright position, or squatting, or prolonged standing occurs when low blood pressure, also known as orthostatic hypotension. Antihypertensive drugs guanethidine, excellent drop-ning, prazosin, or diuretics, can reduce vascular tone, blood vessels expand, blood pressure decreased, when patients are sudden changes in posture or standing for prolonged periods, it can occur dizziness or immediate hair black, or even syncope, fall to the ground and so on.

Prevention: Patients taking the above-mentioned antihypertensive drugs, we must pay attention to standing or getting up in the preparation of action should be slow, do more minor preparations, which helps to promote venous return to the heart or blood pressure, to avoid postural the occurrence of hypotension.

■ how to deal with the central nervous system adverse reactions?

Some patients with long-term use of some antihypertensive drugs such as reserpine, clonidine, methyl dopa, propranolol, there may have central nervous system adverse reactions can occur in some patients, sleepiness, weakness, fatigue, insomnia, multi – dream, can not concentrate, memory loss, slow performance and so on. At this time, if engaged in driving, high-altitude work or operation of the machine, it may lead to accidents.

Prevention: the impact of the daily symptoms of a serious medical workers should be under the guidance of the replacement of other antihypertensive drugs.

■ how to deal with the increased asthma symptoms antihypertensive drugs?

Existing asthma patients taking β-blocker propranolol, it can aggravate asthma, and even lead to status asthmaticus.

Prevention: There is a history of high blood pressure in patients with asthma disable propranolol, other selective β1 blocker preferably also be used with caution.

■ how to deal with antihypertensive drug-induced angina pectoris?

A long-time application, such as β-receptor blocker propranolol, atenolol and beauty more than peace of mind and so on, can diminish cardiac contractility, coronary perfusion pressure reduction, myocardial oxygen consumption reduced, if the sudden withdrawal can induce angina occurred.

Prevention: Do not abruptly discontinued. Such drugs should be used with caution in patients with coronary heart disease.

■ how to deal with hypokalemia caused by adverse reactions, etc.?

Diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide is commonly used today is still the basis of antihypertensive drugs, but the long-term use apt to cause hypokalemia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, and muscle weakness can also cause high blood sugar, high blood lipids, high ammonia, high uric acid and hypercalcemia.

Prevention: with Paul potassium diuretic aldosterone combination of ammonia in order to avoid hypokalemia. If necessary, need potassium. Medication is best attention to regular monitoring of serum electrolytes. Accompanied by high blood lipids, diabetes, gout, kidney dysfunction, liver cirrhosis and hepatic coma with caution in hypertensive patients with Hydrochlorothiazide.

■ how to deal with dry cough caused by antihypertensive drugs?

Dry cough is the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril, etc. The most common adverse reactions, but generally less serious or persistent symptoms after medication gradually reduce.

Prevention: can tolerate those who do not have withdrawal. Can change the individual can not tolerate angiotensin-receptor antagonist service.

■ how to deal with leukopenia caused by antihypertensive drugs?

Because angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril many advantages such as antihypertensive drugs, side effects less often doctors as the preferred antihypertensive drugs. However, these drugs is one of the more rare side effect of causing neutropenia, time of occurrence after treatment more in a week to 3 months, multi-diagnosed by a routine blood checks. And severe leukopenia was rapid onset, severe systemic symptoms, followed by a serious infection, his condition deteriorated rapidly, developed sepsis, septicemia, and subsequent shock, coma and even death.

Prevention: Routine medication initially be reviewed on a regular basis to monitor changes in white blood cells. Once the diagnosis of leukopenia should be suspended immediately under the guidance of a doctor suspected of drugs, if necessary, oral lithium carbonate, vitamin B4, shark liver alcohol Leucogen, Leucomax l white blood cells such as drugs, there are signs of infection should be given anti – infection in symptomatic treatment.

Facts have proved that high blood pressure if left untreated, can lead to serious cardiovascular diseases and kidney disease, mortality and disability will be greatly increased. This shows that China’s prevention and treatment of high blood pressure situation is very serious. To this end, experts on how to effectively prevent and control high blood pressure conducted in-depth study and have come to the following three important conclusions:

1, systolic blood pressure is more dangerous than elevated diastolic blood pressure

The last century 70’s, people think, with the systolic blood pressure increase were higher age, which is a “natural phenomenon”, thus the increase of systolic blood pressure for no special attention, and that the increase of diastolic blood pressure of the incidence of patients with cardio-cerebral vascular diseases have a greater impact. By the late 80s, through a large number of clinical studies, people come to believe that the increase of systolic and diastolic blood pressure the harm to the human body are similar.

Into the 21st century, a number of large-scale evidence-based medicine research changed the way people view the past that the systolic blood pressure can lead to cardio-cerebral vascular diseases more dangerous factor; systolic blood pressure rise, and could allow patients suffering from coronary heart disease 1.5 ~ 1.6-fold increased risk, can increase the risk of stroke in patients suffering from 1.8 to 2,6 times, can increase the risk of heart failure in patients suffering from 1.5 to 2 times that in patients suffering from peripheral vascular disease can increase the risk of 1.8 ~ 2.1 times: the higher the systolic blood pressure, heart and brain disease patients in the greater the risk. Because of this, people have elevated systolic blood pressure should attention.

2, combination therapy better than single medications

The earlier view, treatment of hypertension should focus on starting a drug used alone, when such a treatment is unsatisfactory, the first to consider increasing the dose of drugs rather than increasing the variety of drugs. Diagnosis and treatment of high blood pressure assessment committee of the United Nations has to diuretics, β blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and α-blockers as a single used first-line antihypertensive drugs recommended to States for the public.

The latest view is that the majority of hypertensive patients should choose combination therapy. A number of studies showed that patients with a single medication than patients on combination therapy with low rates of hypertension control, adverse reactions and more, and easily so that patients give rise to dose-dependent. Single agent can only provide 40% or less blood pressure in hypertensive patients to achieve compliance, while the combination therapy in patients with hypertension the blood pressure can increase to 80% compliance rate of more than a single medication compliance rate should be twice as high. Combination therapy can be fully reflects the mechanism of the different types of anti-hypertensive drugs, the advantages of better play their role in blood pressure together, increase the stability of blood pressure and reducing adverse drug reactions, and can achieve good blood pressure lowering effect of .

In 2003 the United States a report on the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure (JNC7) made: In order to achieve the target blood pressure in patients with hypertension level (ie, 140/90 mm Hg), the majority of hypertensive patients need to take two or more of the antihypertensive drug treatment: If the patient’s actual blood pressure, high blood pressure than the standard 20/10 mm Hg, and its initial treatment should be used two kinds of antihypertensive drugs, one of which should be a thiazide diuretic. In 2003 Europe’s “high blood pressure Guide” points out: Diuretics fit and most other types of antihypertensive drugs used in combination. Small doses of thiazide diuretics can significantly enhance the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, α blockers, β blockers and vasodilator antihypertensive effect. The use of low-dose hydrochlorothiazide in patients with hypertension will enable 50% of the decline in blood pressure, and do not cause patients with metabolic disorders.

3, angiotensin receptor blocker plus a small dose of diuretic to reduce systolic blood pressure had an obvious advantage

Studies have shown that in many antihypertensive drugs, the effect of losartan and other angiotensin receptor blockers on stroke prevention and treatment more effective. In the hypertension associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and atrial fibrillation in patients with a history of the use of losartan treatment can reduce their risk of stroke incidence of 45%, the risk of death can be reduced to 42%. Have occurred in patients with stroke, the use of losartan in patients treated with the use of other antihypertensive drugs than patients treated suffered nerve damage to be much lighter.

From the effects of antihypertensive drugs, adverse reaction, dependency on the disease control rate and other considerations, the antihypertensive effect of a good selection of the fixed compound preparations for treatment of high blood pressure have a greater advantage. In which angiotensin receptor blockers plus low-dose diuretics have been widely used in clinical, it can effectively reduce systolic blood pressure, the treatment of hypertensive patients with atrial fibrillation, left ventricular hypertrophy and stroke in patients with a unique advantage.

Jingle wrote: man is a Pentium 30, men 40 is Microsoft, Panasonic 50 men, 60 men, Lenovo … … Indeed, men are most afraid of sexual dysfunction occur, but do not know if this may be high blood pressure and other diseases symptoms may also be the treatment of hypertension and other disease complications. Man a “Microsoft”, “Panasonic”, “Lenovo”, it will feel “powerless to change things,” which is the erectile dysfunction, in addition to the factors of age, but requires close monitoring of blood pressure.

ED (sexual dysfunction) is a male-specific signals of early hypertension

Erectile dysfunction affects not only the “sex”, or high blood pressure, diabetes and other chronic diseases early signs and warning signals. A study shows: erectile dysfunction compared with ischemic heart disease symptoms as early as 53.4 months; 10 male hypertensive patients, there appeared five erectile dysfunction (ED), 10 male patients with depression have nine ED patients, 10 male patients with atherosclerosis 4 combined ED. Where, ED and high blood pressure closely related to high blood pressure is a special and accurate early warning signals. Survey data show that ED patients with hypertension associated with the proportion of more than 40%. 
 
Well-known public opinion survey by the U.S. company’s 1342 American men over the age of 35, doing a survey found that in 10 hypertensive patients, there are eight people do not know that Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other diseases closely related. 44% of men surveyed said that if they had known erectile dysfunction and high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other diseases, they would not be so anxious in the face when a partner has. And if they know that ED is hypertension, diabetes, one of the early symptoms, it will not eat and drink as it was before, let yourself go by. 
 
Male sexual arousal, the penile artery, a significant expansion of the blood flow into the penis is extremely increased, a large number of loose sponge congestion, with the attendant erections. If the penis is a small artery endothelial dysfunction, that congestion can not be complete, degree of erection will be weakened, and this is one of the pathological causes of ED.
 
Compared with normal and high blood pressure in patients with ED a high incidence of the reason, above all, the patient’s own high blood pressure, blood lipid health problems had higher anxiety; Secondly, atherosclerosis itself, and the side effects of some antihypertensive drugs the health of reproductive organs would be affected.

Control of blood pressure and prevention of ED go hand in hand

Erectile dysfunction (ED) since it is sick, they should seek medical treatment promptly to avoid delay in the treatment of other diseases. He said, to treat ED, first of all to find the original disease, high blood pressure Patients with ED, the first primary should be actively treated for high blood pressure, and oral ED treatments. It should also be combined with psychological treatment, if necessary, should be under the guidance of professional doctors to use hormone replacement therapy or other therapies.
 
ED is also one of the complications of hypertension, about 80% of patients with severe peripheral vascular disease, suffering from ED, 64% suffered from myocardial infarction in patients with ED, 57% coronary artery bypass surgery patients had ED. The reason is because high blood pressure can cause heart and great vessels sclerosis or stenosis, but also restrictions on the penis and other organs of small blood vessels, leading to the emergence of ED. In addition, some high blood pressure drugs themselves have side effects leading to ED.

Among the many treatment methods, experts suggest that treatment with oral drugs in the form of ED, apart from simple and convenient, easy to adhere to things, also in the price-performance advantage. PDE5 inhibitor drugs can be used as medication in patients with hypertension with ED, which allows smooth muscle relaxation, erection, and does not act on the nervous system, and thus will not lead to patients worried about side effects such as drug addiction. If the patient is the use of certain antihypertensive drugs emerged after ED, and may consult a doctor, where possible, adjust blood pressure drug. “In the treatment of ED, we must adhere to the treatment of primary disease; in ensuring the long-term effective treatment of ED drugs at the same time, should pay attention to good control of blood pressure. 
 
American Medical experts have warned, couples should be mutual understanding and exchange more emotional. As long as men could face up to the relationship between hypertension and ED, their sexuality ease of recovery would be more certain.

High blood pressure is stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure and chronic kidney disease an important risk factor, 50% -60% of stroke, myocardial infarction, 40% -50% of the occurrence of elevated blood pressure. As the highest incidence of cardiovascular disease, hypertension and deaths each year worldwide more than seven million cases, and has become the dominant human death risk factors. According to epidemiological data estimated that China’s annual two million people a new stroke, new myocardial infarction issued 500,000 people who died from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were 3 million people. The major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases each year in direct medical costs 1,300 billion, of which the medical expenses for high blood pressure reached 36.6 billion yuan. Based on the prevalence of hypertension, the community prevention and treatment of high blood pressure the city will be included in the “Eleventh Five-year” science and technology development planning major projects sub-item.

Chinese Hypertension League has told us by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association of cardiovascular physicians and the Chinese Hypertension League branch of the two authorities co-sponsored the “China Survey of blood pressure control (CHINA STATUS)” the results officially announced. It showed that: in 2009, in the top three hospitals for treatment of hypertension compliance rate was only 31.1%, nearly 7 into not reached because often forget to wear clothes antihypertensive drugs or omitted. Relevant experts in hypertensive patients through the newspaper this: a lot of medicine in the era is now over, the simplified treatment requires only one day to take a drug.

The latest survey to fill gaps in seven-year epidemiological survey

Survey of blood pressure control in China is China’s first trans-regional, inter-hospital, cross-sections of the large-scale hypertension treatment status. The survey covered 22 cities nationwide, 100 three hospitals, in the Cardiovascular Section, Department of Nephrology, Endocrinology, all subjects included a total of 5186 cases of hypertension.

“The last published census data of hypertension in China in 2002, when the compliance rate of patients with hypertension was 6.1%, have been treated for hypertension in patients with compliance rate of 25%,” the Chinese Hypertension League President Professor Liu Lisheng, told reporters: “The survey reflect the top three hospitals for treatment of hypertension in patients with compliance rates, the survey has filled seven years of my high blood pressure related to flow of the transfer of data gaps. “credits China, director of vascular medicine knowing a member of the Chinese Medical Association Section of Cardiology, Dr. Hu a Great professor said: “The survey in-depth analysis of the factors affecting the rate of blood pressure and compliance, for we seek to improve the compliance rate of blood pressure and effective strategies to minimize the risk of death and social burden of high blood pressure provides a useful hint.”

Leak medication compliance rates can reduce the 7 into a

“High blood pressure patients need lifelong treatment for patients with poor compliance, its effectiveness will be undermined.” Professor Hu Yida the treatment of hypertension in talking about compliance issues, told reporters that the survey found that: the current leak medication (one week ≥ 3 times the number of missing clothes) in hypertensive patients than in patients who never leak blood pressure medication compliance rate has dropped 72%. The more drugs, the greater the possibility of missing clothes, and a variety of drug side effects and economic factors that force the patient can not afford on their own reductions.

Survey results also showed: More than 50% of patients taking 2-5 kinds of antihypertensive drugs, more than 40% of patients had the phenomenon of missing clothing. Professor Hu Yida, said: “If a drug can have a multi-drug efficacy, safety and good at the same time, it will greatly improve patient compliance to treatment.”

This reporter learned from some of the hospitals in Chengdu City, learned of hypertensive patients, in order to step-down as quickly as possible, they often have to simultaneously take 3-5 kinds of drugs. Cardiovascular experts have also told reporters that, for some of the more severe patients, a single drug has been difficult to blood pressure under control, “this part of the patient, but to take joint treatment and compound preparation of means treatment.”

One day one can simplify the medication

“We need to take more effective treatment methods to achieve powerful buck.” Said Professor Hu Yida. So, is there a lot of medication may be reduced to eating from a drug, and can play a very good step-down effect? Hu told reporters that a major treatment of high blood pressure, strengthen, simplify and optimize the “three” will become new trends. “Patient compliance and drug efficacy is the impact of the survey revealed the rate of blood pressure and compliance are two key factors, which for us in clinical practice how to take effective treatment strategies provide a useful hint.” Said Professor Hu Yida “At the moment, the world’s new trends in the treatment of hypertension is also applied with a strengthened, simplified and optimization characteristics of monolithic compound preparation to meet the patient on drug efficacy, tolerability and safety of a variety of needs.” he told reporters, with the strengthen the characteristics of single compound preparation of blood pressure control rate can be greatly improved, research confirms that valsartan / amlodipine single compound preparation for single-drug treatment failure in patients treated for 16 weeks will enable 90% of patients with compliance; 2,000 patients were registered to participate in clinical research in China confirmed that such a single compound preparation for people with mild to moderate hypertension in Chinese patients can be realized more than 70% compliance rate. “The drug is only eat one a day, thereby reducing the leakage dose or forget to take the medication issue.”

From nitrendipine, to the nuns Fuda, to the present Norvasc, I and hypertension “battle” has already experienced the “three battles.”

Earlier I do not know how high blood pressure hazards, but has its own feel-good, but was found during a routine physical examination blood pressure actually broke the 140/90 mark, the doctor ordered, said: “hurry medication, blood pressure quickly, otherwise easily lead to troubles! ”

However, when there are still many errors in understanding. The doctor advised me to take nuns Fuda. But I think the doctor is an open high-priced medicines, secretly replaced by cheap nitrendipine. Although the drug money, cut down, but some strange phenomenon that has cropped up always feel that pain and fatigue the brain, and sometimes wake up early morning or Yanyanyushui. Zaiqu hospital, before we know these are side effects of drugs. Doctors said that although nitrendipine cheap, but more side effects, especially in the short duration of efficacy, after taking the morning to the afternoon we should discount the efficacy difficult to steady buck.

Follow the doctor’s suggestion, I replaced the nuns Fuda and began to pay attention to all kinds of medical information about high blood pressure. Just replace the nuns Fuda, the feeling is good in the morning to eat a drug, basically a day of blood pressure are normal. Available at night, efficacy will be weakened. So I at night have also added a drug, did not expect that evening from sitting to stand up Shique some dizziness. Go to the hospital consultation, the doctor said that the already low blood pressure at night, eat only blood pressure drugs can cause low blood pressure, but will also lead to stroke and other illnesses. At this time, I saw a call from the Internet Norvasc blood pressure lowering drugs, the biggest advantage is that long-lasting depressor effect. So I went to the hospital ask the doctor. The doctor said that Norvasc, of course with good results, but the seven drugs to 40 yuan, you can insist on taking? I said to the doctor, health is the greatest wealth in life, to health, should be willing to invest. After the frequent use of Norvasc blood pressure measurement. Antihypertensive effect is not only good, but relatively stable blood pressure, and self-feeling is not bad. More than 200 yuan a month in drug money, although some expensive, but I fully accept the deregulation.

Looking back at my buck “trilogy”, he explains the development of our society, people live in constant improvement is no longer invest in cash-strapped health; on the other hand also shows that the concept of their own consumption and health change. I am very convinced of a motto is: the best investment in life is to invest in health!

Zhao readers in the treatment of hypertension in the process took nitrendipine, nuns Fuda will not work, finally Norvasc used with good results. Despite the higher drug prices, he considered worth it, and after this “trilogy” reached the target blood pressure. Readers will recognize the best investment in life is that investment in health is welcome. But the reader’s view of drugs is not correct, or at least incomplete.

First of all should know that these three antihypertensive drugs are in fact “dihydropyridine” and “calcium channel blocker.” Because of its drug name (generic name) at the end have a “horizon” in a frivolous, it is also known as “Horizon Class” antihypertensive drugs. Nifedipine is the first generation of antihypertensive effect duration is short, about 6-8 hours, it must be taken 3-4 times a day. Nuns Fuda is “nifedipine,” the sustained-release tablets, nuns Fuda is a trade name, is a domestic pharmaceutical products.

Nitrendipine is a generic name (a drug no matter what a pharmaceutical production, all the same a common name), belong to the second generation. Antihypertensive effect is about 12 hours or so, is a medium efficiency, taking at least 2 times a day. If a pharmaceutical products, trade names is “off the MIPS.” Effect is not bad. However, relatively higher price per board 12. Take 15 per month, said raw materials are imported. Nitrendipine completely domestically produced low prices, a bottle 100, less than 5 yuan.

Norvasc is also a trade name, common name is “amlodipine.” Belong to the third generation, was invented by the U.S. Pfizer. After the expiry of patent protection in 2002 after many of our pharmaceutical companies have been copied successfully, but the products of all pharmaceutical products were different, as far as I know there are “peace inside true”, “pressure’s up” and “Randy” and so on. As is the imitation, it is much lower drug prices, or even only half of Norvasc less.

Applications are now advocating a long-term antihypertensive drug, as long as one pill a day, so some pharmaceutical companies regard the 20-30 mg of nifedipine into the special “slow-release or controlled release” tablets or capsules, so that slowly release drugs to achieve long-term aim. Efficacy of the good and bad, with the level of the pharmaceutical production. The best long-acting formulations of nifedipine, a German pharmaceutical firm Bayer’s controlled-release tablets, each content of nifedipine 30 mg tablets, trade names is “a new worship the same.”

These three “horizon” category antihypertensive drugs if the dose equivalent to the quality of medicines is also very good, step-down effect is the same. Therefore, the reader finds the “trilogy” is actually wrong. Difference is that the duration of antihypertensive effect is different. Nifedipine action time is too short, now with long-acting controlled release tablet, for example, the antihypertensive effect of Adalat and Norvasc similar. Inpro down 2 to 3 times a day, each one. Antihypertensive effect is comparable with Norvasc. Generally speaking, short-acting antihypertensive drugs are more number of adverse reactions, blood pressure fluctuations in a number of relatively large, long-acting antihypertensive drugs relatively small number of adverse reactions, blood pressure fluctuations in a relatively small number of.

As for the domestic and foreign original tablets generic pills difference depends on whether the quality of generic pills to achieve the quality level of the foreign original tablets. If quality levels are equal, then the antihypertensive effect should also be the same. Hypertensive patients need lifelong medication, and thus learn more about the point of knowledge of drugs in order to better control blood pressure.

Chinese medicine, the “hypertension” are classified into two kinds of card types:

A card-type is: liver yang.

Were as follows: red face, irritability, low blood pressure and volatile.

Another card-type are: liver and kidney.

Often thirsty, waist acid Tuiruan, dizziness, tinnitus, blood pressure fluctuation is not.

Sustained, poorly controlled hypertension, right heart, brain and kidney damage blood vessels, and the resulting organic damage to these vital organs is fatal. Therefore, control of blood pressure and gentle, in fact, indirectly, to protect the health of these organs.

We humans have a natural step-down 3 points, that is, Taichong, too Qu River and the pool. Whatever the type of high blood pressure can permit use of these three points.

Taichong Point is liver meridian points on the most important one, played carding qi, Pinggan Jiangni role.

Tai chi is a kidney by the original cave temple is a nourishing kidney yin of the points, which is equivalent to the kidney irrigating farmland.

Qu Chixue colon is through the acupuncture points used to fight against anger, but also the best antihypertensive effect of acupuncture points.

Adhere to Anrou these three points a day, 200 times more than two months later we can see significant results.

Note:

Taichong Point: In the feet, where the big toe of the gap behind the depression.

Tai chi points: finger from the feet of the medial malleolus highest in the back, Achilles tendon before the depression is that it is very Creek cave.

Qu Chixue: elbow flexion, elbow stripes and the lateral side and the lateral epicondyle at the midpoint of the connection. 

Persist as long as three months of acupuncture massage, you can gradually reduce the dosage of medicine or stop taking medicine. This can reduce the toxic side effects of medicine on the human body damage.

Material: fresh ginger 500 grams (wash, and cut pieces), 250 grams of crystal sugar, white vinegar bottle.
Methods: The bubble together, a week after drinking.

Drinking: daily morning and evening to drink a spoonful of each, while eating 8 ginger.

Effect: This side only rule high blood pressure, and blood viscosity, blood thickening is also curative.

Virtuous bar Xiangjie Principle: Ginger is a warm, with accessible divergence effect; bird’s-side cooler, the Five Elements partial

Su Jin has lowered the effectiveness of fire; white vinegar, white five elements are gold, human lung by a Su-lowering effect, m

Vinegar five elements are wood, portal triad of diarrhea after a dredging up of the effect; “8″ number is Kungua, five elements are earth,

And “Yao Yinzi” Similarly, with the transportation of the body by Rupi effectiveness!
