Amoxicillin and cephalosporin are already familiar customers in the Chinese family medicine box, so that if there is another dizzy, feverish and cold, the family will hand in a pill to make the patient open his mouth to take medicine
If you have a cold and fever, take some anti-inflammatory drugs. But I don’t know, many people are “taking the wrong medicine”. In fact, these two are not anti-inflammatory drugs, just antibiotics.
What is the difference between amoxicillin and cephalosporin? What should be paid attention to when using
Antibiotics ≠ anti inflammatory drugs
Antibiotics are not anti-inflammatory drugs, they are two different definitions.
When it comes to anti-inflammatory drugs, we must understand which “inflammation” they eliminate. The body has a complex set of system software, including its own protection system. Inflammation happens to be the body’s defense response to external stimuli.
When we touch foreign people such as virus infection, bacteria and germs, or burn, smash and other trauma, our body’s maintenance system is turned on, which is reflected in the body’s main manifestations of inflammation, such as redness, swelling, heat and pain.
Anti inflammatory drugs are drugs that can eliminate the discomfort caused by inflammation. They can be divided into two categories, one is non steroidal analgesics, such as aspirin, the other is hormone drugs, such as acyclovir.
What about antibiotics? It is a common class of anti infective drugs. The common antibiotics include pure natural antibiotics and semi generated antibiotics, usually ending with “bacteriocin” or “penicillin”.
Antibiotics are more “specialized” than anti-inflammatory drugs. They are only reasonable for the inflammation caused by bacteria, but basically do not work for the inflammation caused by virus infection, bacteria, skin allergy, trauma, etc.
And just because antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs can remove inflammation, many people often take antibiotics as anti-inflammatory drugs. When they encounter fever, cold, high fever, accidental injury, scratch and other conditions caused by virus infection, they take amoxicillin in disorder
Amoxicillin and cephalosporin belong to antibiotics. Their proper name is “antibiotics”. The English word for the medicinal value of antibiotics is “anti infection”, which is translated into Chinese as “anti infective drug effect”, not “detumescence effect”. Therefore, amoxicillin and cephalosporin are not compatible with anti-inflammatory drugs.
Differences between amoxicillin and ceftazidime
- Different individuals and types
Amoxicillin itself is a drug, it is an actual drug name, and cephalosporin refers to a class of drugs, its type is more, already a family.
Amoxicillin is a broad spectrum of semigenerated penicillins β- Lactam antibiotics, while cephalosporin is β Another branch of lactamase antibiotics has different chemical structure classification. - The safety factor is different
The adverse reactions of amoxicillin are generally low, and its renal toxicity is not large. The first generation of cephalosporins generally has renal toxicity, and the second generation of cephalosporins only reduces the renal toxicity, while the third generation of cephalosporins does not have renal toxicity. - The symptoms are different
Amoxicillin is mainly used in the treatment of respiratory system, urethral orifice, bile duct and diffuse active gastropathy, peptic ulcer and typhoid fever.
Cephalosporin is used for: infectious diseases, upper respiratory tract infections such as acute bronchitis, pulmonary infections, urinary tract infections such as urethral infections, prostatitis, skin and soft tissue infections such as furuncle, carbuncle, erysipelas, etc.
Indiscriminate use of antibiotics, the consequences are very serious! - Bacterial resistance – no drugs to use
The destructive power of antibiotics is very strong, but the bacteria are also strong when they are strong. In the whole process of elimination or inhibition, the bacteria have to fight with drugs in order to survive better,
In the process, they changed their own characteristics and conditions to keep alive and cause bacterial resistance. Once the body causes drug resistance, even powerful antibiotics will lose their “efficacy”. - “Explosion” destroys intestines and stomach
If you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. When you use antibiotics to kill bacteria, you will not be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. No good bacteria in your stomach will be spared. Every time antibiotics are used, it is equivalent to throwing a “time bomb” into the intestines and stomach. It can cause great damage to intestinal bacteria. - Destroy immunity – get sick more easily
The vast majority of the body’s immune function is created in the balance of probiotics powder in the stomach, the misuse of antibiotics is more serious harm to the balance of intestinal bacteria, destroy a lot of probiotics powder, harm the body’s immune system. Once the human immune system has a bug, there is no doubt that it is an opportunity for pathogenic bacteria to invade. - Side effects
Antibiotics itself is a kind of medicine, and it is inevitable to cause side effects if they are used indiscriminately. There are many examples of misuse of antibiotics in clinical medicine: Children’s hearing loss caused by penicillin, and adults’ kidney function problems caused by penicillin.
Medicine can save people, but it can also do harm. If the application is unreasonable, the panacea may become a lethal chronic poison.
There are many causes of inflammation in the body. Don’t be silly and don’t be confused about anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. If you are in a hurry, you can go to the doctor at random. The adverse effects of using drugs at random are far more harmful than you think.
