For patients, the hope is always to recover as soon as possible. As doctors, we also hope that the patients we treat can recover quickly. So, everyone is thinking about choosing the most targeted treatment drugs and the best route of administration.
In the minds of patients, getting injections is better than taking medicine because it is more effective. However, doctors do not necessarily agree. The choice of administration route depends on the type of disease, the condition of the patient, and the type and nature of the medication being used.
For example, bacillary dysentery is caused by the excessive reproduction of Shigella in the intestines and the production of toxins, which leads to symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. This disease is treated by oral administration, which allows the medication to directly kill the bacteria in the intestines. Therefore, oral administration is more appropriate, and Litesat tablets are commonly used. On the other hand, for diabetes patients who use insulin injections, they cannot take it orally. The reason is that when this medication enters the gastrointestinal tract through oral administration, it is easily destroyed by the acidity or alkalinity and becomes ineffective, thus not achieving the desired therapeutic effect. Therefore, the medication can only be effective through injection. Additionally, oral magnesium sulfate is a laxative, while its injection has effects such as central nervous system inhibition and blood pressure reduction, so it must be used with caution.
Therefore, whether a patient should receive injections or take medicine should be determined by the doctor and should not be changed without the doctor's consent. Some patients, in order to avoid the pain of injections, often take injectable medications orally without realizing that it may have no therapeutic effect or even cause accidents. Please be cautious.
