asthma

There are two broad categories of medications for asthma. One type is used in the event of an attack, and the other is used to prevent an asthma attack.

Medicines for treating asthma attacks belong to bronchodilators. Product forms include pills, potions, inhalants and sprays. The effect is to dilate the bronchi, so it can quickly alleviate asthma symptoms and also help prevent asthma attacks. These drugs work well and are quite safe. But be careful not to overdo it, its main side effect is to cause heartbeat. Commonly used are "Salbutamol", "Terbutaline" and so on.

Drugs to prevent asthma attacks include steroids such as "Prednisolone" and "SodiumCromoglycate". It takes a certain period of time for these drugs to take effect. And these drugs are not suitable for the onset of the disease. In particular, steroids and most inhalants must be prescribed by a doctor before they can be purchased at a registered pharmacy, so be sure to follow the doctor's instructions and do not use the medicine yourself to avoid adverse side effects.

Medication for asthma is the basis for controlling asthma. Try to understand your medication. Find out what medicines are included in your asthma action plan, when you should use them, what they should do, and what you should do when the results are not good.

Here are the general principles you should keep in mind:

1. When you want to determine how or when you use these medications, refer to your asthma action plan

2. Wash hands before preparing or using medication

3. Take a moment and check the names and dosages of all the medicines you are using before taking them

4. Use the medicine at the dose your doctor requires

5. Master the correct use of the drug device

6. Store your medication in accordance with the instructions on the medication manual.

7. Always check for liquid medications. If they discolor or crystallize, throw them away and replace them with new ones.

8. Never go to the doctor before the medicine is used up, and see your doctor at least 48 hours before you run out of medicine. Bring your registration card and medical record, remember the name and dosage of the medicine you are using.

9. Tell your doctor about other medicines you use. Some drugs may interact when used together.

10. Most asthma medications are very safe. However, side effects may also occur, which are related to the drug itself, the dose of the drug, and individual differences. Whatever unusual or serious side effects occur, you must tell your doctor quickly.

1. To avoid nocturnal asthma, you can take medication before going to bed.

2. Learn the correct method of using inhalants and consult a pharmacist or dispenser if necessary.

3. After using the inhalant, rinsing with warm water can reduce the dryness of the mouth and throat.

To treat asthma, you can't rely on medicine alone. You also need to pay attention to cleaning your home to prevent dust from accumulating, so as to avoid contact with sensitive substances that induce asthma.

Patients and family members must not smoke, but patients do not need to abstain excessively. For details, consult a doctor. Keeping your mind open and doing more exercise to increase your body's resistance can be very helpful in reducing your onset of illness. Many sick children will gradually reduce their illness and even fully recover.

The drug should be stored in a cool and dry place. Except for the special instructions on the labels of individual drugs, it is generally not necessary to store them in a refrigerator. In addition, the medicine should be stored properly to prevent accidents caused by accidental use by children.

Asthma medicines can help treat multiple sclerosis

Researchers at institutions such as Harvard Medical School say that the commonly used asthma drug salbutamol can help treat multiple sclerosis. Researchers enrolled 44 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis for a two-year follow-up survey. Half of these patients were treated with glatiramer acetate, a multiple sclerosis drug, while taking half of the salbutamol and half of the placebo. The survey results showed that the relapse rate of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who took salbutamol within a year was 9%, while the relapse rate of patients who took placebo was 37%. In addition, patients taking salbutamol had a later first relapse.

Clenbuterol's Clenbuterol Prequel: How Asthma Medicines Turn into Feed Additives. The impact of the Shuanghui "Clenbuterol" incident is escalating. On March 21, a joint working group of the State Council went to Henan to supervise and investigate the case, demanded a thorough investigation of the "lean extract" case, and held accountable for the accident. The original inventors of "Clenbuterol"-two American scientists must have never thought that 30 years ago, the Pandora's box they opened to increase the lean rate of pigs spread "evil" in distant China. According to incomplete statistics, from 1999 to 2005, a total of 2455 people in China were poisoned by eating lean meat. These included major incidents such as "Clenbuterol" poisoning of 59 people in Yuhang City, Zhejiang Province in January 2001, and 484 persons of "Clenbuterol" poisoning in Heyuan City, Guangdong Province in November 2001. Fortunately, there have been no reports of deaths due to "lean essence" poisoning. However, a health and epidemic prevention staff member told reporters that there is currently no effective treatment for Clenbuterol (the most common type of "clenbuterol") poisoning. From the initial support of research and development by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture to the ban on contraband products later, why did Clenbuterol, a medicine for treating asthma, become a feed additive for pigs? And after the state banned the use of it, why is Clenbuterol still banned?

Clentro

Clenbuterol that traveled across the sea Ronald Dalrymple and CatherineRicks, scientists at the Agricultural Research Department of Cyanamid, USA, may be the earliest inventors of "Clenbuterol." They began developing a beta-potential drug in 1978 that could increase lean meat production in poultry and livestock while reducing fat mass. "At that time, there were many institutions in the West to study additives to increase lean meat rate." Professor Yang Zai of Shanghai Nonghao Biotechnology Institute told the reporter by phone. "But the first to introduce Clenbuterol to China was Zhejiang University Animals. Professor Xu Zirong from the Academy of Sciences. " In the 1980s, Xu Zirong, who had been a veterinarian for more than ten years, was a visiting scholar at Virginia State University for research. After returning to China, Xu Zirong worked at the Feed Science Research Institute of Zhejiang University. In the 1980s and 1990s, he developed a full price feed for livestock and poultry, "Zhe Nong No. 1". Xu's only one thesis on Clenbuter was listed as a key project of the Eighth Five-year Plan period of the National Science and Technology Commission. This paper by Xu Zirong as the second author concludes that adding 15 mg / kg clenbuterol to the diet is "best". And in November 2001, 484 people in Heyuan City, Guangdong Province suffered from "lean extract" poisoning, and some researchers speculated that when the clenbuterol hydrochloride content in food reached 0.2 mg / kg, the consumer may be poisoned. As a clinical symptom, when the clenbuterol hydrochloride content in pork reaches 0.4mg / kg, it means that the pig has been fed with "lean extract" for many days before slaughter. ) Poisoning more easily than pork, even drinking only pork lung soup or pork liver soup may cause poisoning. Xu Zirong explained to the media in 2009 that the country was promoting the cultivation of lean meat pigs at that time. His research with students was in line with the policy direction. "We should not contradict the government. If side effects are introduced in the paper, we (thesis) Can't make it. "In fact, as early as 1997, the Ministry of Agriculture issued a civil order to prohibit the addition of clenbuterol to feed. "Previously, the Ministry of Agriculture supported the development of 'lean extract'," Professor Yang Zai told reporters. However, after Clenbuterol was banned, Xu Zirong's research on -stimulants as feed additives did not stop, and he turned his attention to Ractopamine.

Clenbuterol

Lactopamine Lactopamine is the best alternative to Clenbuterol in Clenbuterol. It was also banned later than Clenbuterol. China explicitly included it in the "Prohibition on Feed and Animal Drinking Water" in 2002. Catalog of Drug Varieties Used in. From 1996 to 1999, Xu Zirong, as the main author, published a number of papers on increasing the lean rate of pigs with ractopamine, in which they mentioned the main side effect: causing leg problems in animals. Most of these papers have been funded by the National Science and Technology Commission. In fact, Li Meitong, a retired expert from the Ministry of Agriculture, told reporters that there is still a voice in the scientific community for "correcting the name" of ractopamine, but the side effects of ractopamine are obvious and eye-catching: in the United States, some pigs taking ractopamine cannot stand and walk.

Ractopamine

The contribution of Xu Zirong, a research and production complex with an annual output value of 3 billion, is not only in the field of scientific research, but also an excellent product promoter. <Looking Weekly> A report in June 1993 was titled "Xu Zirong, a scientist and salesman." As early as in the research and development of "Zhenong No. 1" feed, Xu Zirong found a number of companies to cooperate. Zhejiang Yixing Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yixing Company") is one of them. When it was established in 1989, Yixing was only a township feed factory. When Yixing established the factory, it cooperated with Xu Zirong's Feed Research Institute to apply the scientific and technological achievements of the Research Institute. The company's annual output value increased from 5.03 million yuan in 1989 to 450 million yuan in 1999. Today, Yixing Company has become a cross-sector national medium-sized enterprise and a leading agricultural enterprise in Zhejiang Province. Relying on cooperation with enterprises, the feed research institute has also benefited a lot. Liu Jianxin, Dean of the College of Animal Science of Zhejiang University once stated that by the time Xu Zirong retired in March 2008, the equipment and equipment of the Institute had increased from the original 50,000 yuan to tens of millions of yuan, "mainly through product and technology transfer, and Funding for business cooperation. " An open source document shows that, taking the "Zhejiang Agricultural Feed Research and Production Consortium" as the core, 11 demonstration backbone enterprises with a scale of 100,000 tons and an output value of over 100 million yuan have been established nationwide, and have driven hundreds of small and medium-sized enterprises. The high-tech achievements of the institute have been extended to more than 240 feed factories and breeding farms in 24 provinces and cities across the country. In 2001, the annual output value reached more than 3 billion. But Xu Zirong told the media that he had never marketed Clenbuterol. Today, "Zhe Nong No. 1" feed has long been history. A staff member of the Pu Department of the technical department of One Star Company clarified to this reporter that the company has never added clenbuterol to the feed of "Zhe Nong No. 1", and has not even added any nutritional redistribution agent. He also said that there were many companies cooperating with the Feed Research Institute at that time and he did not know the situation of other companies. However, things are strange. In 2001, Jin Peihua, then Party Secretary of the College of Animal Science of Zhejiang University, published an article in the journal Higher Agricultural Education. The article entitled "Introduction to the High-tech Industrialization Project of Colleges and Universities" clearly states that the full-price feed premix developed by the Zhejiang University Feed Research Institute, in addition to applying nutritional additives, also "applies nutritional redistribution agents to improve Livestock and poultry lean meat rate, improve meat quality and increase flavor. "

Research and production complex with an annual output value of 3 billion

The earliest company to sell clenbuterol with traces of chaos management is a company in Zhejiang. The company's founder, Chen, is a graduate of Zhejiang University. Chen once admitted to the media that the sale of Clenbuterol was a "very glorious thing, because the country was promoting it." A person familiar with the matter said that the company's "lean extract" was mainly sold to Hunan and Hubei that year, and pork from both places was sold to Guangdong. In the spring of 1998, Professor Yang Zai of the Shanghai Nonghao Biotechnology Research Institute went to Guangzhou for a business trip. At that time, an incident of "lean extract" poisoning caused by pork shipped from the Mainland to Hong Kong occurred. Yang Zai's investigation revealed that this batch of pork was produced. Since Hunan. This is the first documented case of "clenbuterol" poisoning in China. Previously, frequent poisoning incidents abroad caused the Ministry of Agriculture to make a ban on Clenbuterol. However, Clenbuterol has not disappeared in the breeding industry since it was banned. The lure of high profits has kept it to this day. Professor Yang Zai introduced that "Clenbuterol" has become a more mature underground industry. There are two distribution channels: one is to regular pharmaceutical factories with approval for specific drug production, and the other is to some drug intermediary companies. With the corresponding certificates and authorizations, you can purchase raw materials for making "lean extract". As a stimulant, China s Anti-Doping Regulations make strict regulations on the production and sale of clenbuterol: manufacturers can only supply products to medical institutions, approved and approved pharmaceutical wholesale companies and other similar manufacturers . After the formal channels were closed, those feed and breeding enterprises seeking illegal use of "lean extract" could only look at the illegal channels. A technician from the Beijing Feed Supervision Institute told this reporter that "in fact, the Clenbuterol synthesis process is not complicated, and ordinary small chemical plants can produce it." However, the current penalties for the sale of "lean extract" are mostly fines. Until 2003, Cao Xuesheng, a native of Tongxiang, Zhejiang, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for selling illegal drugs, including nearly 3,000 kilograms of clenbuterol. Professor Yang Zai introduced that in the hands of some illegal traders, the "lean extract" raw powder was diluted with lime powder and put into simple packaging. The specifications are 10g per pack and each contains 1g of the original powder. These small packages are transferred to the next Distributors usually only sell to familiar farmers. Farmers who do not have a source of "clenbuterol" are "independent". In June 2005, under the situation that the country was cracking down on "clenbuterol," pig farmers even bought asthma medicine to feed pigs. One of the reasons why Clenbuterol has been banned repeatedly is the pattern of long management in actual law enforcement. Throughout the entire industrial chain, breeding and feed are managed by the agricultural sector, while Clenbuterol is from a drug manufacturing company or a chemical company, and is under the responsibility of the drug supervision, quality inspection and industry and commerce departments. An expert in the field of medicine told reporters that the "Pharmaceutical Control Law" regulates the production of Clenbuterol, but as a legally-produced stimulant, it is extremely difficult to restrict its circulation. A grassroots agricultural department staff member complained, "Although the Ministry of Agriculture checks the feed additives from time to time, the chemical plant is the dead end of our inspection. In the face of the on-site inspection, the chemical plant usually does not give us the door, saying that it has business License, legal operation, and the agricultural sector has no law enforcement power. "
