Can bacterial lysate be taken together with Lianhua Qingwen

Bacterial lysates, usually referred to as bacterial lysate capsules, have a significant effect on preventing recurrent respiratory infections and acute episodes of chronic bronchitis. Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, as a Chinese patent medicine, its main ingredients include forsythia, honeysuckle, isatis root, etc. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, dispersing lungs and promoting dampness, and is often used to treat influenza. The two drugs could theoretically be used together, but caution should be exercised.

From the perspective of drug action mechanism, bacterial lysate mainly prevents respiratory infections by enhancing the body's immunity, while Lianhua Qingwen focuses on alleviating symptoms caused by viral infections, such as fever and cough. A reasonable combination of the two is expected to provide better therapeutic effects for patients with viral colds and bacterial infections.

There are also risks associated with taking medications in combination. First, it may increase the incidence of adverse drug reactions, such as nausea, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal reactions; second, it may affect the efficacy of the drug, especially when combined with other drugs such as anticoagulants, sedative-hypnotics, immunosuppressants, etc. when used.

Therefore, when using bacterial lysates and Lianhua Qingwen Capsules in combination, the following points should be paid attention to:

1. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions and do not mix drugs at will.

2. Pay attention to adverse drug reactions and seek medical advice promptly if you feel unsuitable.

3. Avoid using it at the same time with other drugs that may interact.

4. Special caution should be taken for special groups of people, such as pregnant women, lactating women, children, etc.

Maintain good living habits and dietary structure to improve the body's resistance and help the medicine to achieve its best effect.
