Unentloko ebuhlungu kwaye uvula indawo yangasese yokuhlambela ukuze ubambe i-acetaminophen okanye i-naproxen, kuphela ukuze uqonde ukuba ii-meds zentlungu ziphelile ngaphezulu konyaka ophelileyo. Usabathatha? Ubaleke uye evenkileni? Hlala apho uhlupheke? Qwalasela oku:

Ngaba kukhuselekile ukuthatha iyeza eliphelelwe lixesha?

"Njengomthetho jikelele, akukho ngozi ekuthatheni iyeza edlulileyo ixesha lokuphelelwa kwayo," utsho uRobert Glatter, MD, uprofesa oncedisayo weyeza likaxakeka kwiMpilo yaseNorthwell kunye nogqirha ophuthumayo kwisibhedlele saseLenox Hill. "Umngcipheko onokuthi ucingelwe kukuba iyeza alikwazi ukugcina amandla awo okuqala, kodwa akukho ngozi enxulumene netyhefu yeyeza ngokwalo okanye imiba enxulumene nokuqhekeka kwayo okanye iimveliso." Ngelixa iziyobisi ezahlukileyo ziya kwahluka ngemihla yokuphelelwa, uninzi lwee-OTC meds ziya kuphelelwa kwisithuba seminyaka emibini ukuya kwemithathu, utshilo.

Ukuba unomdla malunga neevithamini eziphelelwe lixesha kunye nezongezelelo, nantsi inyani eyolisayo: Abavelisi bezi mveliso abanyanzelekanga ukuba babeke imihla yokuphelelwa kwiileyibhile, ngokutsho INew York Times. Kwaye oko, ngokuyinxenye, kuba i-FDA ayilawuli iivithamini kunye nezongezelelo. Ukuba abavelisi yenza bathathe isigqibo sokubandakanya "best by" okanye "use by" umhla kwi-vitamin okanye ileyibhile yokuncedisa, umgaqo kukuba kufuneka "bahloniphe loo mabango." Ngokusisiseko, abavelisi banyanzelekile ngokwasemthethweni "ukuba babeneenkcukacha zozinzo ezibonisa ukuba imveliso isaza kuba neepesenti ezili-100 zezithako zayo ezidwelisiweyo kude kube ngulo mhla," utshilo uTod Cooperman, umongameli weConsumerLab.com. INew York Times. Ukuguqulelwa: Ukuba uthatha i-vitamin emva kokuba "ingcono kakhulu" okanye "ukusetyenziswa" ngomhla, akukho siqinisekiso sokuba iya kubamba amandla ayo okuqala.

Kutheni kufuneka imihla yokuphelelwa?

Imihla yokuphelelwa kwamachiza ifunwa yi-FDA, kwaye isasebenza injongo. Injongo kukwazisa abantu ukuba amayeza akhuselekanga kuphela kodwa nawo esebenzayo kwizigulana, utsho uGqirha uGlatter. Kodwa abantu abaninzi abaqinisekanga nje ngokhuseleko olunxulumene nale mihla, kuncinci kakhulu ukusebenza kakuhle. Ngapha koko, abavelisi abadingeki ukuba bavavanye amandla emveliso emva komhla wokuphelelwa kwayo, ke oko kuhlala kungumahluko ongaziwayo. Kungenxa yale ndawo ingwevu apho abathengi abaninzi bathanda ukulahla iipilisi UCanzibe kungenjalo kulungile ukuthatha. Kwaye emva koko bachitha imali eninzi kunyango olutsha.

Iinkampani ezincedisayo azifuneki ngokusemthethweni ukuba zibandakanye imihla yokuphela kweelebhile zeemveliso zazo.Ngokwesiqhelo, ixesha eliphakathi lokugcina iivithamini zebhotile lijikeleze iminyaka emibini, kodwa inokuxhomekeka kuhlobo lwevithamini, kunye nokuba uyigcina phi kwaye uyigcina njani. Sukuxhoma kakhulu kule nto, nangona: Njengamayeza aphelelwe lixesha, ukuthatha iivithamini kunye nezongezo zedlula umhla wazo "ongcono" ngekhe kubangele monakalo emzimbeni wakho; banokuba namandla kancinci. (Eyeleleneyo: Ngaba iiVithamini ezenzelwe wena ngokwenene zifanelekile?)

Kukho umngcipheko omnye obalulekileyo ekufuneka uqwalaselwe, nangona kunjalo.

Ngelixa ukuthatha amayeza aphelelwe lixesha akuyi kukwenzakalisa, amandla anokuthi anciphe ngokuhamba kwexesha. Kuxhomekeke kwinjongo yamayeza, oko kunokuba semngciphekweni.

"Ukuba une-strep throat, kwaye uthatha i-amoxicillin ephelelwe lixesha, isibulala-zintsholongwane sisasebenza, kodwa mhlawumbi kuma-80 ukuya kuma-90 eepesenti yamandla ayo okuqala," anele ukunyanga usulelo, utshilo uGqirha Glatter. Nangona kunjalo, amayeza aphelelwe lixesha kwaye abe buthathaka kwiimeko zempilo ezimandundu okanye i-allergies inokuba libali elahlukileyo.

"I-EpiPens, umzekelo, inokusetyenziselwa ukugqitha kumhla wokuphelelwa kwayo ukuya kunyaka, kodwa ukusebenza kungancitshiswa ngama-30 ukuya kuma-50 epesenti kwezinye iimeko," utshilo. "Oku kunokubeka ezinye izigulane emngciphekweni ophethwe kakubi okanye i-anaphylaxis," utsho. (I-P.S. Ngaba Ukutya Okuphelelweyo Akulungile Kuwe?)

Kwaye ukuba ucinga ungathatha nje kabini idosi yokuphelisa iintlungu ze-OTC ukufikelela kwimpumelelo oqhele ukuyiqhuba kancinci, musa nje, utshilo uGqirha Glatter. "Ungaze uthathe nantoni na engaphezulu kwethamo elicetyiswayo, njengoko oku kunokubangela iziphumo ezigwenxa kwizintso zakho okanye isibindi, kuxhomekeke kwindlela amayeza enza ngayo umzimba okanye acocwe emzimbeni wakho," utshilo. (Qaphela ukuba amayeza afana ne-ibuprofen anezilumkiso kwileyibhile malunga nokulimala kwesibindi kunye nezintso ngokumalunga needosi eziphezulu, ngoko ungagqithisi isibonelelo semihla ngemihla ngaphandle kokuba ucetyiswe ngenye indlela ngugqirha.)

Umxholo: Ngokwenyani onke amayeza-iivithamini kunye nezongezelelo ezibandakanyiweyo-zinokuba namandla kancinci njengoko iinyanga okanye iminyaka idlula, kodwa oko kukodwa akuyi kukhokelela kuzo naziphi na iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezibi. UGqr. "Akunjalo ukuba iyeza eliphelelwe lixesha ngokwalo liyingozi, okanye kukho i-metabolites enetyhefu enokukwenzakalisa." Cinga ngenjongo yamayeza kwaye yeyiphi imeko okanye iimpawu ezinyangayo, kwaye uxoxe ngayo nayiphi na ingozi enokubakho ngaphambi kwexesha kunye nogqirha. Ukuba ichiza elibuthathaka linokuthetha intlekele kwimpilo yakho, yiya ekhemesti okanye ubize ugqirha wakho ngokukhawuleza. Ngcono okwangoku, yiba ne-stash ebalulekileyo (kunye ne-engaphelanga) yeedamsi ekulungele ixesha elizayo xa i-hangover (er, intloko) ibetha.
