FAQ
Which medications should not be taken with alcohol?
1. Antibiotics: Cefoperazone (can trigger a disulfiram-like reaction, which in severe cases may lead to shock)
2. Antidiabetic drugs: Metformin (increases the risk of lactic acidosis)
3. Psychotropic drugs: Sedatives (exert central depression)
What should elderly people pay attention to when taking medication?
“The Four Principles”: limit the number of medications to no more than five per day; initiate with low doses (e.g., digoxin at 0.125 mg); monitor liver and renal function; and be vigilant about the risk of falls (e.g., ensure supervision after nighttime administration of sedatives).
Can medications be split before taking them?
1. Sustained-release tablets and enteric-coated tablets (such as enteric-coated aspirin) must not be split; ordinary tablets with score lines may be broken along the score line.
2. Reminder: Omeprazole enteric-coated capsules must be swallowed whole; opening them before ingestion will render them ineffective.
How should a missed dose be handled?
1. If the next dose is due soon: Skip the current dose; do not double the dose (e.g., doubling a hypoglycemic agent may lead to hypoglycemia).
2. If more than half of the dosing interval has elapsed since the last dose: Take the missed dose immediately (e.g., for medications taken twice daily, the missed dose may be taken within 6 hours).
How can you tell if a medication has expired?
Inspect the outer packaging for the “Expiration Date” label; if the tablets have discolored (e.g., white tablets turning yellow), capsules are stuck together, or the liquid is cloudy or contains sediment, discontinue use even if the product has not yet expired.
