Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the side effects of Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets mainly include gastrointestinal discomfort, allergic reactions, liver damage, kidney damage, and hematologic system impairment. In daily life, Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets should be used strictly according to medical instructions. Self-administration,擅自 increasing the dosage or prolonging the duration of medication should be avoided to reduce the risk of side effects.
Generally, the side effects of Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets mainly include gastrointestinal discomfort, allergic reactions, liver damage, kidney damage, and hematological system impairment. A detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Gastrointestinal Discomfort
The ingredients in Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets, such as rhubarb, have a laxative effect and may stimulate intestinal motility, altering the normal rhythm of intestinal movement. After administration, some individuals may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, possibly accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
2. Allergic Reactions
Due to individual differences, certain people may be allergic to ingredients such as artificial bezoar and borneol in Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets. After ingestion, the immune system may recognize these components as foreign antigens, triggering an allergic reaction and releasing substances such as histamine, leading to symptoms like itching, rash, and erythema on the skin. In severe cases, allergic symptoms affecting the respiratory system, such as shortness of breath and wheezing, or even anaphylactic shock may occur.
3. Liver Damage
After entering the body, drugs are primarily metabolized by the liver. Some ingredients in Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets, such as realgar containing arsenic, may accumulate in the body when taken for a long time or in excessive doses, thereby damaging liver cells, affecting normal liver function, and causing abnormalities in liver function indicators, such as elevated transaminase levels. Severe cases may lead to symptoms such as jaundice and liver area pain.
4. Kidney Damage
The kidneys are important organs for drug excretion. Certain components of Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets may exert a certain toxic effect on the kidneys during excretion. Long-term or excessive use may damage kidney cells, impairing the filtration and reabsorption functions of the kidneys, resulting in symptoms such as proteinuria and hematuria.
5. Hematological System Impairment
Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets may have adverse effects on the hematological system, such as suppressing bone marrow hematopoietic function, thereby reducing the production of blood cells such as white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This may lead to decreased immunity and cause symptoms such as susceptibility to infection, anemia, and bleeding.
In daily life, when using Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets, it is essential to strictly follow medical instructions and avoid self-medicating with increased dosages or prolonged duration of use to reduce the risk of side effects.
