MISCELLANEOUS (ANAESTHESIA)
Anesthesia is a commonly used medication during surgery and other medical procedures. It puts patients into an unconscious state of sleep so doctors can administer treatments without feeling pain. Anesthetic drugs can be divided into general anesthesia, local anesthesia and topical anesthesia.
General anesthesia causes the patient to completely lose consciousness and is usually administered with intravenous fluids or inhaled gas. Local anesthesia applies anesthesia to a specific area to keep the patient awake during the procedure. Topical anesthesia is a medication applied to the surface of the skin for localized pain relief.
Anesthetic drugs need to be administered by a professional doctor or anesthesiologist to ensure that the patient has a safe and pain-free procedure. Before receiving anesthesia, patients need to follow their doctor's advice and avoid eating or drinking in preparation for surgery.
If you have any questions or concerns about anesthetic drugs, patients should communicate with their doctor promptly.
Usage: Please use this drug under the guidance of a doctor. It usually needs to be taken on an empty stomach, and certain foods, such as those containing calcium or magnesium, should be avoided. While taking this medication, you should avoid participating in activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is 20 mg once daily. The dosage may be adjusted based on your doctor's advice. The dosage for children is based on weight and age. Ask your doctor to determine the appropriate dosage. It is not recommended to adjust the dose or stop using the medication on your own. In the event of any worsening of symptoms or adverse reactions, a physician should be consulted immediately.
Side effects of these anesthetics include vomiting, nausea, dizziness, coma, difficulty breathing, and allergic reactions. Some patients may experience irregular heartbeats, low blood pressure, muscle twitches, and respiratory depression. Long-term use of narcotics may cause addiction and affect memory and cognitive function. Some anesthetics may also cause neurological problems, including headaches, nerve pain, and muscle weakness. During the use of anesthetics, you should try to avoid driving a vehicle or operating machinery to avoid affecting the body's reaction. If any abnormality occurs, you should check with your doctor immediately.
Drug contraindications refer to situations where the use of a specific drug may cause harm to health or cause adverse reactions. In the field of anesthesia, there are some drugs that have specific contraindications that need to be noted:
1. Anesthetic drugs are contraindicated in pregnant women: Some anesthetic drugs may have adverse effects on the fetus, so women who are pregnant or suspected of being pregnant should avoid using certain anesthetic drugs.
2. Anesthetic drugs are contraindicated in lactating women: Some anesthetic drugs may be passed to the baby through breast milk and cause harm to the baby. Therefore, lactating women should use certain anesthetic drugs with caution.
3. Narcotic drugs are contraindicated in patients with certain medical conditions: Patients with certain medical conditions such as heart disease, liver disease, or kidney disease may have adverse reactions to certain anesthetic drugs, so the use of certain anesthetic drugs should be avoided in these cases.
4. Anesthetic drugs are contraindicated in those allergic to specific drugs: Patients who are allergic to certain anesthetic drugs or their ingredients should avoid using these drugs to avoid severe allergic reactions.
Before receiving anesthetic treatment, patients should inform medical staff about their medical history, allergies, and current medications to ensure that the medical team can choose the most appropriate anesthetic medication and avoid possible contraindications. Following the advice and instructions of your healthcare provider is an important step in ensuring you receive safe and effective anesthesia treatment.
Precautions for use: This drug is for use by medical professionals only and should be used strictly in accordance with the physician's instructions. Do not adjust dosage or frequency on your own. Please pay attention to possible side effects during use, such as dizziness, nausea, etc. If serious adverse reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately.

Be cautious when taking narcotics before and after pregnancy, and ask your doctor for advice. Some anesthetic drugs may be harmful to the fetus and should be avoided during pregnancy. If you need surgery or other treatment, tell your doctor about your pregnancy so the doctor can choose a safer anesthetic. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, follow your doctor's advice and avoid using any narcotic drugs without your doctor's approval. If you are in any doubt, please seek professional medical advice immediately. Stay healthy at all times during pregnancy and use any medications with caution to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
