Phenylephrine
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a606008.html
有幾百種品牌藥,但內容大同小異:a combination product containing Acetaminophen,
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, and [Phenylephrine Hydrochloride]
Why is this medication prescribed?
Phenylephrine is used to relieve nasal discomfort caused by colds,
allergies, and hay fever. It is also used to relieve sinus congestion
and pressure. [Phenylephrine will relieve symptoms but will not treat
the cause of the symptoms or speed recovery. ]Phenylephrine is in a
class of medications called nasal decongestants. It works by reducing
swelling of the blood vessels in the nasal passages.
老美用話實在,這玩意沒有治療效果,也沒有加快感冒復原效果,只是強制鼻黏膜血管放鬆,消除鼻塞感。
How should this medicine be used?
Phenylephrine comes as a tablet, a liquid, or a dissolving strip to
take by mouth. It is usually taken every 4 hours as needed. Follow the
directions on your prescription label or the package label carefully,
and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not
understand. Take phenylephrine exactly as directed. Do not take more
or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor or
directed on the label.
Phenylephrine comes alone and in combination with other medications.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on which product is best for
your symptoms. Check nonprescription cough and cold product labels
carefully before using two or more products at the same time. These
products may contain the same active ingredient(s) and taking them
together could cause you to receive an overdose. This is especially
important if you will be giving cough and cold medications to a child.
Nonprescription cough and cold combination products, including
products that contain phenylephrine, can cause serious side effects or
death in young children. Do not give these products to children
younger than 4 years of age. If you give these products to children
4-11 years of age, use caution and follow the package directions
carefully.現在美國對幼童已完全禁用此類產品,因為証實會死人,台灣父母宜注意再三。
If you are giving phenylephrine or a combination product that
contains phenylephrine to a child, read the package label carefully to
be sure that it is the right product for a child of that age. Do not
give phenylephrine products that are made for adults to children.
Before you give a phenylephrine product to a child, check the
package label to find out how much medication the child should
receive. Give the dose that matches the child's age on the chart. Ask
the child's doctor if you don't know how much medication to give the
child.
If you are taking the liquid, do not use a household spoon to
measure your dose. Use the measuring spoon or cup that came with the
medication or use a spoon made especially for measuring medication.
If your symptoms do not get better within 7 days or if you have a
fever, stop taking phenylephrine and call your doctor.
If you are taking the dissolving strips, place one strip on your
tongue and allow it to dissolve.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking phenylephrine,
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to phenylephrine
or any other medications.
do not take phenylephrine if you are taking a monoamine oxidase
(MAO) inhibitor, such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil),
selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), and tranylcypromine (Parnate),
or if you have stopped taking one of these medications within the past
2 weeks.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and
nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and
herbal products you are taking or plan to take.
tell your doctor if you have or have ever had high blood pressure,
diabetes, trouble urinating because of an enlarged prostate gland, or
thyroid or heart disease.
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or
are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking phenylephrine,
call your doctor.
if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor
or dentist that you are taking phenylephrine.
if you have phenylketonuria (PKU, an inherited condition in which a
special diet must be followed to prevent mental retardation), you
should know that some phenylephrine products may be sweetened with
aspartame, a source of phenylalanine.
What side effects can this medication cause?
Phenylephrine may cause side effects. Some side effects can be
serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using
phenylephrine and call your doctor:
nervousness
dizziness
sleeplessness
神經緊張過敏,頭暈,失眠.這不是什麼高深藥學理論,想像物理學的教導,若血量一定,那血管短時間內由小口徑換大口徑,會造成功什麼效果,答案在上面。
美國有一些車禍是這麼形成的。
