Generally, influenza refers to the flu. Medications used for treating influenza include Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules, Peramivir Sodium Chloride Injection, Zanamivir Inhalation Powder, Loratadine Tablets, and Lianhua Qingwen Capsules. It is recommended to use these medications under a doctor's guidance. A detailed explanation is as follows:
1. Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules
Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules are a type of neuraminidase inhibitor that effectively inhibits the influenza virus. It can block the release of the influenza virus from infected cells, thereby reducing the spread of the influenza virus.
2. Peramivir Sodium Chloride Injection
Peramivir Sodium Chloride Injection is an antiviral injection that inhibits the neuraminidase activity of the influenza virus, thus preventing viral infection and replication. It is suitable for treating influenza caused by the influenza virus.
3. Zanamivir Inhalation Powder
Zanamivir Inhalation Powder is a neuraminidase inhibitor that works by inhibiting the replication of respiratory pathogens, thereby achieving antiviral effects. It is not recommended for patients with asthma or other respiratory diseases.
4. Loratadine Tablets
Loratadine Tablets are antihistamine medications that selectively block peripheral H1 receptors, stabilize mast cells, and reduce the release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, thereby alleviating nasal mucosal congestion and edema.
5. Lianhua Qingwen Capsules
The main ingredients of Lianhua Qingwen Capsules include traditional Chinese herbal components such as Forsythia fruit, Honeysuckle flower, and processed Ephedra. These capsules have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying the lungs, helping to relieve symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, and nasal congestion caused by the flu.
In addition to drug treatment, patients with influenza should also focus on rest, staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy living environment, and enhancing their own immunity.
