Chapter 279 Carcinogenic rumors, sartan antihypertensive drugs are recalled

Jin City, a community in the east of the city.

Uncle Liang stood on the balcony, facing the lush green, and practiced Tai Chi leisurely and leisurely.

He has had high blood pressure for many years. In order to exercise, improve immunity, lower blood pressure and blood lipids, he has been practicing traditional fitness exercises such as Tai Chi for a long time.

After a few rounds, he felt a slight sweat on his forehead, so he stopped and went to the bathroom to wipe his face.

As soon as I walked out, there was suddenly the sound of the door opening.

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

"Dad, no, something serious has happened. You can't take your antihypertensive medicine."

Uncle Liang frowned and scolded: "What are you talking about? What's going on? You're clueless and you can't explain clearly."

The son touched his head and said sheepishly: "Hey, look at my memory, I forgot to tell you something serious. I saw the news today that Sartan antihypertensive drugs have been recalled again because they contain carcinogens. I thought about it,

The medicine you take is also called Sartan."

"So, just to be cautious, you have to go to the hospital as soon as possible tomorrow and ask the doctor to change your antihypertensive medicine. You can't delay this matter, but you can't cause any problems."

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

The son nodded like a fool: "Yes, it's written in the headlines. Let me show you, it's all trending. Don't forget it."

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

Uncle Liang took a look and saw that it was the headline news. The eye-catching headline read: "Rumors about causing cancer, Sartan antihypertensive drugs have been recalled."

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

When the son saw that something was not going well, he quickly helped Uncle Liang sit on the sofa and recovered after a while.

Uncle Liang came back to his senses, with a look of disbelief on his face, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why is this happening? Aren't we taking imported medicine? For so many years, I have always listened to the doctor's advice and taken medicine on time."

Are they all cancer-causing drugs?”

The son also looked like he had seen a ghost, and said with a wry smile: "Yeah, when I saw the news, I couldn't believe that imported drugs could do this. Dad, let's not think too much about it and go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow.

, just change the medicine and it will be fine."

Uncle Liang's chest heaved violently, and he was very angry: "How can these damn pharmaceutical companies treat patients like this? They sell them so expensively and they actually cause cancer. They are simply seeking money and killing people!"

When the son saw that the old man was really angry, he was afraid that his blood pressure would soar and he would get angry, so he quickly comforted him.

The next day, my son went to work.

Uncle Liang carried the medicine he prescribed last time and walked vigorously to a nearby tertiary A hospital that he frequently visited.

He has had a history of hypertension for more than ten years and is familiar with cardiology doctors.

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

Doctor Zhang recognized him, smiled and was about to say hello, but was startled when he heard the voice.

"What kind of medicine should I change? Haven't you been eating well? Are you suddenly feeling 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 antihypertensive medicine. I don't want to take this or Irbesartan anymore."

"If I don't take the medicine well and control my blood pressure well, why should I change the medicine?" The doctor was very puzzled.

"Yesterday, my son told me that Sartan antihypertensive drugs contain carcinogens and have been recalled. How can I still take them?"

Uncle Liang looked excited and angry.

Doctor Zhang smiled and explained to him in detail: "Uncle, don't worry, I've also watched the news. In fact, this medicine itself does not cause cancer, but the nitrosamine content in the excipients is a bit higher than that in 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. There will be no direct risk to users. Generally speaking, the efficacy of this drug is still much higher than the risk.

, you can still continue to take it.”

Uncle Liang shook his head like a rattle: "No, I'm not worried. 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 several decades? I'm scared to take it for so long. It's not just for one year.

Two years. You think so?"

The doctor had no choice but to agree: "Okay, since you insist so much, I will change you to another antihypertensive drug."

Uncle Liang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, give me the safest antihypertensive drug. It's best to take it for decades without any problems. This Sartan scares me so much that I can't stand it anymore."

At my age, I can’t stand the trouble anymore.”

The doctor frowned: "According to your request, there is no absolutely safe medicine in this world. There will always be various side effects. It can only depend on your tolerance for adverse reactions. Try to avoid affecting the medicine as much as possible."

If the efficacy is good, choose a relatively safe antihypertensive drug."

Uncle Liang is very insistent on matters related to his health: "Doctor, just look for it, I don't believe there are no particularly safe medicines. My son said that Sanqing's medicine is very safe, and there are no adverse reactions at all. It can be seen that there are no adverse reactions at all.

There are still safe drugs in the world, so I think there must be antihypertensive drugs that are as safe as Sanqing’s drugs.”

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

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but slap the table: "By the way, I suddenly remembered that Sanqing seems to have launched a new antihypertensive drug, which just meets your requirements. I will open a box for you first and see the effect.

Whatever happens, if it’s not suitable, think of other ways.”

Uncle Liang was overjoyed: "That's great. Let me just say that except Sanqing, no other medicine is absolutely safe. I feel relieved."

The doctor turned on the computer and started writing prescriptions: "But I have to tell you, Sanqing's medicine is not cheap. It has just been launched and is not yet covered by medical insurance. It is a bit more expensive than imported medicines. 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 longer in the body. Just one pill a day is enough. It's not like the previous medicine twice a day. So when the dosage is small, the cost of the medicine will not increase."

many."

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

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

Uncle Liang happily went home with the new medicine.

After taking it for a few days, I didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, I felt physically better and my mood was much better.

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

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

He will feel a little dizzy every time he eats, and has to stay in bed for a while, so he usually takes it during lunch break and before going to bed at night, so that he can sleep directly after eating to avoid these discomforts.

I have been taking Sanqing's antihypertensive medicine for the past few days without any problems. After taking it, I have been in high spirits without any discomfort.

Uncle Liang was immediately full of praise and started to flatter his son: "If you ask me, I still have to take Sanqing medicine, but I feel twice as energetic after taking it, and there are no side effects at all. It is simply amazing. I will take this medicine for the rest of my life.

The medicine is gone."

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 that Sartan drugs cause cancer. Please find a doctor to change your medicine quickly."

"Remember to tell the doctor that you must switch to this one. You will never regret it."

Because Uncle Liang likes to be quiet, he is a family member of the patient group.

As soon as the photo was posted, it immediately sparked a flurry of discussion.

"Hey, we have all seen the news and are worrying about what medicine we should change to."

"We have been discussing it for several days, but there is no result. It is really troublesome."

"Hey, isn't this Sanqing's antihypertensive medicine? Did Lao Liang take it so quickly?"

"How's the effect? ​​If it's good, I'll change to this one too."

"Ask the same question!"

"Same question 1"

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

"The effect can only be said to be amazing! My dad took it and his headaches no longer hurt, his eyesight is no longer blurry, and his heart palpitations are gone. His whole person looks completely new, and he has more energy to scold me."

The group of patients suddenly burst into exclamation.

After hearing that the effect was so good, everyone was itching to switch to this new drug right away.
