How long does it take for the drug to be absorbed in the stomach?

There are many medicines on the market. Different diseases use different medicines, and there may be several medicines for the same disease. In fact, the effect of each medicine is different, and the absorption time of different medicines in the stomach is also different. For example, the efficacy of enteric-coated drugs evaporates in half an hour. Most tablets, granules, capsules and other medicines will take effect in about half an hour.

How to cure overdosage of medicine

If you take too much medicine with soapy water to induce vomiting , if you have just taken the medicine, you must use soapy water to induce vomiting in time to prevent the medicine from continuing to work.

If it has been a while since you ingested the high-protein liquid and the drug is still quite toxic, you can drink a lot of high-protein liquid, such as milk, soy milk, etc., to prevent the drug from irritating your stomach and replace the damage of the drug to human protein.

Drink more water and milk , or take a small amount of medicine without any obvious symptoms. For example, if you take one or two more antipyretic or cold medicines, the impact will not be significant, so there is no need to seek medical attention. After inducing vomiting, drink more milk and boiled water and rest for a few days.

If the situation requiring medical attention is unclear or if you have taken too much of a serious medication, you must go to the hospital for examination in time. The doctor will usually induce vomiting first, then do a gastric lavage and enema, and then, depending on the type of medication, give an intravenous injection to relieve drug poisoning.

What are the effects of taking too much medicine?

Cold medicine is not a big deal. Most cold medicines are over-the-counter drugs and are relatively safe. If the dose is 1-2 times more than the dose recommended in the instructions, the danger should not be too great. Drugs go through a metabolism and excretion process in the human body. If you have taken an overdose of 1-2 times, you should take it 1-2 times later. Otherwise, the drug concentration will be too high and it may cause adverse reactions.

Antipyretics: If taken in excess, they may cause the patient to sweat excessively, and those with weak constitutions may easily collapse, so patients should try to rest in bed and drink plenty of water. Because these types of drugs are taken temporarily by patients when they have a fever, after an overdose, it is necessary to decide when to start taking the next dose of the drug based on the patient's body temperature.

Patients who use hypoglycemic drugs, insulin and antihypertensive drugs will have obvious adverse reactions if they take excessive doses of the drugs. For example, excessive doses of hypoglycemic drugs and insulin can lead to hypoglycemia, symptoms such as dizziness and sweating, and in severe cases, hypoglycemia and syncope. Excessive doses of antihypertensive drugs can lead to low blood pressure and insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to dizziness and even endangering the patient's life.

Different medicines have different manifestations. Different medicines will have different symptoms if taken too much. The difference lies in whether they are obvious or not. Some symptoms will not appear in a short time, so when the situation is unclear, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to determine whether it has caused any impact on your body.
