A friend who has a disease usually feels anxious and wants to have the disease cured immediately. However, chronic diseases such as gout, hypertension, and diabetes cannot be cured, and they can only be controlled as well as possible.
Friends who often encounter gout backstage often consult about "specific drugs". There is a lot of publicity about these "special drugs" online, but professional doctors never recommend them.
The slogans of these "drugs" are often very tempting: pure natural, no side effects, no harm to liver and kidney, immediate relief of gout, radical cure
As a doctor, I cannot say whether these advertisements comply with regulations or laws. This is not my job. But out of concern for my gout friends, it is necessary for me to come forward and explain.
"Because these" drugs "not only waste money, but also may delay the treatment of gout, leading to complications such as gout stones and kidney damage.". This is not what doctors want to see.
Here are seven "drugs" that can easily trap people. Everyone should be vigilant.
Northeast Female Radish
What is it: regular food.
How effective: There is no reliable animal experimental data on the therapeutic effect of "female carrot" on gout, and it is unlikely to replace uric acid lowering drugs.
Doctor's suggestion: As a natural food, it can be consumed if it meets food safety standards. But don't be superstitious about its therapeutic effects.
2. Celery seed essence
What is it: The safety of imported health products is not guaranteed.
How effective: Currently, only animal experiments have found that "celery seed" has certain uric acid lowering and anti-inflammatory effects, and there is no clinical trial support. Therefore, "celery seed" cannot replace uric acid lowering or analgesic drugs.
Doctor's suggestion: effectiveness needs to be verified, and safety is difficult to ensure; Purchase is not recommended.
3. Capitox, Thailand
What is it? The chemical component of a common pain reliever abroad is piroxicam, a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
How effective: It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, but is not better than the commonly used "diclofenac", "celecoxib", or "etocoxib" in China. And the price of domestic regular piroxicam is also very low, so there is no need to buy foreign piroxicam.
Doctor's suggestion: It is difficult to ensure the safety of drugs through informal channels; There are similar drugs in China, so it is recommended to purchase piroxicam from domestic regular channels.
Thailand Nasha (Chasing Wind Pill)
What is it? The chemical component of a common pain reliever abroad is piroxicam, a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
How effective: It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, but is not better than the commonly used "diclofenac", "celecoxib", or "etocoxib" in China. And the domestic price of piroxicam is also very low.
Doctor's suggestion: It is difficult to ensure the safety of drugs through informal channels; There are similar drugs in China, so it is recommended to purchase similar drugs in China.
5. Tongfengling
What is it: Unknown. The State Food and Drug Administration has not found any information on "Tongfengling" drugs, which means it is not a regular drug approved by the state.
How effective: The effect is unknown.
Doctor's advice: It is not recommended to purchase, but to choose pain relievers with clear safety and efficacy, such as colchicine, diclofenac acid, celecoxib, etocoxib, or glucocorticoids.
6. Japan Feibulista
What is it? The essential ingredient is non budestar, and there are such regular drugs in China, with reliable efficacy.
How effective is it? If the ingredients of "Nippon Feibulista" can be guaranteed, it does have a uric acid lowering effect. "However, most of the" Japanese non budestar "drugs enter the country through informal channels, making it difficult to ensure the quality and safety of the drugs.".
Doctor's advice: It is not recommended to purchase "Japanese non brustatin". It is recommended to purchase non Bristol from domestic regular channels.
7. Making tea with Qurataodai
What is it? The health products claimed by the merchants are neither drugs nor health products, but the State Food and Drug Administration has not filed relevant records.
How effective: Not supported by authoritative research. Long press
Doctor's advice: In cases where safety and effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, it is not recommended to purchase.
In fact, these "fake gout drugs" are just the tip of the iceberg, and it is difficult to enumerate them all. Therefore, I hope you will keep the following four points in mind to avoid being deceived:
"To treat a disease, it is necessary to rely on drugs. Drugs approved by the National Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) have been proven effective through rigorous clinical trials, with known side effects, and can be prevented.". "Health care products" are lacking in this regard, with less efficacy than drugs and no side effects.
No matter according to the gout treatment guidelines of the United States, Europe, or China, the only recognized uric acid lowering drugs that can be used in our country are benzbromarone, allopurinol, and februstat.
"Magic drugs" with ulterior motives often use "pure natural", "non harmful to liver and kidney", and "immediate effect" as their selling points.
Friends of gout should adhere to regular uric acid lowering treatment. If you like, you can choose some health products with guaranteed safety.
