The best medicine for treating fractures

Stumbling and falling is a common thing. It is nothing for young people, but it is very serious for elderly people with osteoporosis. As the elderly lose calcium, their bones become soft and a slight bump may cause a fracture. In mild cases, they may need to rest in bed, while in severe cases, they may need surgery and take medication to treat fractures. So what is the best medicine to treat fractures?

1. Early stage: focus on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The basic prescription is based on the activity pain relief soup with additions and subtractions. Such as 9 grams each of Angelica sinensis, red peony root, Salvia miltiorrhiza, peach kernel, safflower, Dipiquat, Drynaria fortunei, Luodeda, Dipsacus asper, and Corydalis yanhusuo, and 12 grams of mulberry branch. Tablets available include Huayu Huoxue Tablets, Qixingsan, etc.

2. Middle stage: focusing on harmonizing blood and generating new blood. Treatment is basically based on tablets, and different types of tablets can be used, such as bone-setting tablets, bone-setting purple golden pills, etc. The decoction can be Xugu Huoxue Decoction, which includes 9 grams each of Angelica sinensis, white peony root, Rehmannia glutinosa, Zelan leaf, Dipterocarpus macrophylla, Drynaria fortunei, Chuanxuduan, Luodeda, and Corydalis yanhusuo, 6 grams each of dried tangerine peel and Citrus aurantium, and 12 grams each of Millettia reticulata and Morus twig.

3. Late stage: mainly focus on strengthening the foundation and strengthening the body. You can use Jianbu Huqian Pills, 5 grams each time, twice, or use decoctions, such as Shengxue Bu Sui Decoction (9 grams each of Angelica sinensis, white peony root, Chuanduan, Cibotium barometz, Psoralea corylifolia, Rhizoma Achyranthis Bidentatae, Eucommia bark, Rehmannia glutinosa, Radix Astragali, Morizhi, and 15 grams of Clematis chinensis. You can also use Bazhen Decoction, Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, etc.

Non-steroidal analgesics such as aspirin, indomethacin, ibuprofen, and voltaren are prostaglandin inhibitors. They achieve the purpose of pain relief by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. However, the decrease in prostaglandins will also cause the blood vessels in the fracture site to dilate, reducing local blood flow, which is not conducive to the healing of the fracture.

Calcium supplements and vitamin D, bone resorption inhibitors and bone formation promoting preparations are the main drugs used to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Some of these drugs are also beneficial for the healing of bone fractures. Long-term use of vitamin D drugs can promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine. The combined use of calcium and vitamin D drugs has a positive effect on the healing of bone fractures. Common bone resorption inhibitors include estrogen, estrogen receptor modulators, calcitonin and bisphosphonates. These drugs can inhibit the activity of osteoclasts or reduce the number of osteoclasts to varying degrees, thereby reducing bone loss. They are definitely effective in treating osteoporosis, but the healing of bone fractures requires bone metabolism at the healing end, and bone breaking is also required during osteogenesis.

In addition, most bone fractures are caused by trauma or pathological reasons, not calcium deficiency, so don't rush to take calcium tablets after a bone fracture. In fact, a large amount of calcium will be released at the bone fracture, and coupled with the lack of activity, it is easy to cause systemic and local disuse decalcification. If too much calcium is supplemented at this time, it will increase the burden on the kidneys and cause urinary stones. The amount of calcium that the human body absorbs from food every day is enough to meet daily physiological needs.

There are many medicines for treating bone fractures, but you must follow the doctor's instructions. After all, not all medicines are suitable for your condition, nor are they the most suitable for you. So follow the doctor's treatment methods. I believe that bone fractures can be cured in the shortest time.
