Chapter 280 Carcinogenic rumors, sartan antihypertensive drugs were recalled
Haishi, a community in the east of the city.

Uncle Liang stood on the balcony, facing the lush greenery everywhere, he laid out a starting gesture leisurely and practiced Tai Chi.

He has high blood pressure for many years. In order to exercise his body, improve his immunity, and lower his blood pressure and blood lipids, he has long adhered to the traditional fitness exercise of Tai Chi.

After playing a few rounds, his forehead was slightly sweaty, so he stopped and went to the bathroom to wipe his face.

As soon as he came out, there was a sound of opening the door.

His son Liang Kai walked in in a hurry, and yelled loudly when he saw his father.

"Dad, it's bad, something serious happened, and you can't take your antihypertensive medicine."

Uncle Liang frowned, and reprimanded: "What do you sound like? What's going on? You're out of your head, and you don't make it clear."

The son touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to tell you something serious. I saw the news today that sartan antihypertensive drugs were recalled again because they contained carcinogens. I thought about it. Isn’t the medicine you took called some kind of sartan?”

"So, to be cautious, you have to go to the hospital as soon as possible tomorrow, and ask the doctor to change you to another antihypertensive drug. This matter must not be delayed, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Uncle Liang was shocked: "What? Antihypertensive drugs can also cause cancer?"

The son nodded furiously: "That's right, it's written in the headlines, I'll show you, it's all on the hot searches, don't forget it."

Then he took out his phone, tapped it, and handed it to Uncle Liang.

Uncle Liang saw that it was the headline news, and the eye-catching headline read: "Cancer-causing rumors, sartan antihypertensive drugs are recalled".

His eyes suddenly went dark, his head was buzzing, and his heart was pounding.

When the son saw something bad, he quickly supported Uncle Liang to sit on the sofa, and he recovered after a while.

Uncle Liang came back to his senses, with a face of disbelief, and asked hoarsely, "Why is this happening? Aren't we taking imported medicine? For so many years, I have been obediently listening to the doctor's orders, taking medicine on time, co-authoring Are they all taking cancer-causing drugs?"

The son also had the expression of seeing a ghost, and said with a wry smile: "Yeah, when I saw the news, I couldn't believe it. Imported medicines are like this. Dad, let's stop thinking about it and go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow." , just change the medicine again.”

Uncle Liang's chest heaved violently, and he was very angry: "How can these damn pharmaceutical companies treat patients like this? They are selling so expensive, and they actually cause cancer. They are simply murdering for money!"

Seeing that the old man was really angry, the son was afraid that his blood pressure would soar, and he would be angry for something, so he quickly comforted him.

The next day, my son went to work.

Uncle Liang took the medicine prescribed last time, and walked vigorously to a nearby third-level hospital that he often visited.

He has a history of high blood pressure for more than ten years, and he is familiar with cardiologists.

As soon as he entered the outpatient room, before he sat down, he strongly demanded: "Doctor Zhang, it's me, Lao Liang, I'm here for a reexamination, but can you change my medicine first?"

Doctor Zhang recognized him, and was about to say hello with a smile, but he was taken aback when he heard the sound.

"What medicine to change? Didn't you eat well all the time? Did you suddenly feel uncomfortable after taking it?"

Uncle Liang shook his head, and took out the medicine he had been taking: "No, I want to change to another blood pressure medicine. I don't want to take this irbesartan anymore."

"The medicine is not taken well, and the blood pressure is well controlled, so why change the medicine?" The doctor was very puzzled.

"Yesterday my son told me that sartan antihypertensive drugs have been recalled because they contain carcinogens. How can I still eat this?"

Uncle Liang looked excited and angry.

Doctor Zhang smiled and explained to him in detail: "Master, don't worry, I also read the news. In fact, this drug itself does not cause cancer, but the content of nitrosamines in the excipients is a little higher, which is higher than the human body. Acceptable levels, long-term intake may increase the risk of cancer."

"This drug is relatively safe in terms of safety. Long-term use will only increase the potential risk of cancer, and there will be no direct risk for users who take the drug. Generally speaking, the curative effect of this drug is still much higher than the risk. , can still be used.”

Uncle Liang shook his head like a rattle: "No, I don't worry, what if I really get cancer?"

"Doctor, you also know that I have a history of high blood pressure for more than ten years. I have to take antihypertensive drugs for a lifetime. Isn't it still decades away? I'm afraid to take it for so long, and it's not just for one year. Two years. Don't you think so?"

In desperation, the doctor had no choice but to agree: "Okay, since you are so persistent, I will change you to another antihypertensive drug."

Uncle Liang nodded again and again: "Okay, change me to the safest antihypertensive drug. It's best to take one that won't cause any accidents for decades. This sartan scares me enough. I can't stand the toss at my age."

The doctor frowned: "According to your request, there is no absolutely safe medicine in this world, and there will always be various side effects. It can only depend on your tolerance to adverse reactions. Try not to affect your health." In the case of no curative effect, choose a relatively safe antihypertensive drug."

Uncle Liang was very insistent on his own health: "Doctor, just look for it. I don't believe there is no particularly safe medicine. My son said that Sanqing's medicine is very safe, and there is no adverse reaction at all. It can be seen that There are still safe medicines in the world, so, I think there must be antihypertensive medicines as safe as Sanqing's medicines."

The doctor laughed and said, "You, you think things too simply. Is Sanqing comparable to other pharmaceutical companies?"

His eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but slapped the table: "By the way, I suddenly remembered that Sanqing seems to have launched a new antihypertensive drug, which just meets your requirements. I'll open a box for you first to see the effect Let’s talk about it, if it’s not suitable, think of other ways.”

Uncle Liang was overjoyed: "That's great, let me just say, apart from Sanqing, there is no other medicine that is absolutely safe, so I can rest assured."

The doctor turned on the computer and began to write the prescription: "But I have to tell you that Sanqing's medicine is not cheap. His medicine has just been launched and has not yet been covered by medical insurance. It is more expensive than imported medicine. If you are willing to pay for it yourself, I'll open it for you."

Uncle Liang waved his hand: "It's okay, we are not short of money, safety first."

The doctor smiled: "It's not that expensive. This medicine lasts a long time in the body, and only one tablet a day is enough, unlike the previous medicine twice a day, so after the dosage is reduced, the cost of the medicine will not increase. many."

He quickly opened a box, intending to let Uncle Liang eat it first to test the effect.

After all, this is a new drug, and it is the first time he prescribed it. If the effect is really that good, he can consider recommending it to other patients and replace them with this safer antihypertensive drug.

Uncle Liang returned home happily with the new medicine.

After taking it for a few days, I didn't feel any discomfort, but I felt better physically, and even my mood improved a lot.

The irbesartan he took before had some obvious adverse reactions, the most common being headache, dizziness, and palpitations.

Although the incidence rate is relatively low, Uncle Liang has been taking it for several years, so it is inevitable that he will be recruited.

He would feel a little dizzy every time after eating, and he had to rest in bed for a period of time, so he usually took it during his lunch break at noon and before going to bed at night, so that he could go to sleep directly after eating to avoid these discomforts.

In the past few days, I have taken Sanqing's antihypertensive medicine without any problems. After taking it, I have been in high spirits without any uncomfortable feeling.

Uncle Liang was full of praise immediately, and started to flatter his son: "If you want me to say, I still have to take the medicine of Sanqing. I really feel refreshed after taking it. There is no side effect at all. It is absolutely perfect. I will take this medicine for the rest of my life." Medicine."

When his son Liang Kai heard that the effect was so miraculous, he quickly took a photo and sent it to the patient group.

"Everyone, you all know the news about the carcinogenicity of sartan drugs, so go to the doctor and change the medicine."

"Remember to tell the doctor that you must change to this one, and you will never regret it."

Because Uncle Liang likes to be quiet, he participated in the patient group as a family member.

As soon as the photo was sent out, it immediately sparked a discussion.

"Hey, we've all seen the news, and we're worrying about what kind of medicine to switch to."

"It's been discussed for several days, but there is no result. It's really troublesome."

"Hey, isn't this Sanqing's antihypertensive drug? Lao Liang took it so soon?"

"How's the effect? ​​If it's good, I'll replace it with this."

"The same question!"

"Same question +1"

Liang Kai triumphantly told his father how he felt about taking the medicine these days, and praised Sanqing's antihypertensive medicine.

"The effect can only be said to be awesome! My dad took it, and his headache, eyesight, and palpitations are gone. The whole person is completely new, and he has more strength to scold me."

There was a burst of exclamation in the group of patients.

Hearing that the effect is so good, everyone is itching to switch to this new drug immediately.
