Hualong Network News (Lin Hong, correspondent Huang Qiao) is currently a period of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases. On December 12, Huang Xiaohan, the attending physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the Southwest Hospital of the Army Medical University, said in an interview with reporters that there are many types of respiratory diseases, and the medication must be in accordance with the doctor's instructions, and the right medicine must be prescribed to the case, and blind medication must be avoided.
"There are multiple infections today, and some patients are even infected with multiple respiratory diseases at the same time." According to Huang Xiaohan, the data shows that the patients who came to the hospital before were mainly mycoplasma infection, and now they are mainly influenza A and other influenzas.
As respiratory infectious diseases enter a high incidence period, how to use drugs scientifically has become the focus of public attention. In this regard, Huang Xiaohan said that the commonly used drugs for the treatment of respiratory tract infections include antibiotic drugs, antiviral drugs, antipyretic drugs, cough and phlegm drugs, etc., but symptomatic drugs need to be used according to the condition.
"For example, drugs such as cefixime dispersible tablets belong to the antibiotic class of drugs, which are mainly aimed at lower respiratory tract diseases caused by bacterial infections such as tracheitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Azithromycin, which is used for mycoplasma pneumonia infection, is also an antibiotic, but it is not very effective for diseases such as influenza A. Huang Xiaohan said.
"Today's popular mabaloxavir, ribavirin granules, and oseltamivir capsules are antiviral drugs that deal with a series of respiratory diseases caused by viral infection." Huang Xiaohan said that "oseltamivir" is a specific neuraminidase inhibitor, which can effectively inhibit the release of influenza virus from infected cells and reduce the spread of influenza virus in the body, thereby reducing symptoms and reducing the incidence of severe disease. "In general, patients should take oseltamivir within 48 hours of the first onset of flu symptoms, and the sooner it is used, the better."
Recently, another "popular" drug, "mabaloxavir", is an RNA polymerase inhibitor that can directly inhibit the synthesis of influenza virus RNA, thereby inhibiting the production of new viruses. "Compared with oseltamivir, there is a big difference in the time of taking the drug and the dosage of the drug." Huang Xiaohan told reporters that the application of mabaloxavir is clearer, mainly for patients over the age of 12, as well as adult patients with influenza A and B; In terms of the time of taking the drug, oseltamivir is taken twice a day for 2 consecutive days, while mabaloxavir only needs to be taken once during the treatment period because of its long metabolite half-life.
"Doctors will prescribe drugs according to the specific situation of the patient, such as young children under 12 years of age, pregnant or lactating women, generally choose oseltamivir. For 12 years of age and adults, mabaloxavir is generally chosen. Huang Xiaohan said.
In addition, Huang Xiaohan said that both oseltamivir and mabaloxavir are prescription drugs and should be used under the guidance of doctors and pharmacists, and self-medication is not recommended.
"It is difficult for ordinary people to accurately judge whether they have the flu or not, these two drugs have a good effect on influenza A and influenza B, but they do not have a good effect on the common cold. Non-flu patients who take this medicine are not only useless, but may also experience gastrointestinal reactions such as vomiting and diarrhea. Huang Xiaohan reminded that drug prevention cannot replace vaccination, and influenza vaccination is still the most economical and effective means to prevent influenza.
