Unekhanda elibuhlungu futhi uvule ubuze begumbi lokugezela ukuze ubambe i-acetaminophen noma i-naproxen, bese ubona ukuthi leyo mithi yobuhlungu etholakala ngaphandle kwekhawunta iphelelwe yisikhathi ngaphezu konyaka odlule. Usawathatha? Ugijimele esitolo? Hlala lapho futhi uhlupheke? Cabanga ngalokhu:

Ingabe kuphephile ukuphuza umuthi ophelelwe yisikhathi?

"Njengomthetho ojwayelekile, ayikho ingozi ngokuthatha umuthi ngaphambi kokuphela kwesikhathi sokuphela kwawo," kusho uRobert Glatter, M.D., umsizi kaprofesa wezokwelapha eziphuthumayo eNorthwell Health nokuya kudokotela ophuthumayo eLenox Hill Hospital. "Okuwukuphela kwengozi engenzeka ukuthi umuthi ungase ungagcini amandla awo okuqala, kodwa ayikho ingozi ehlobene nobuthi bomuthi ngokwawo noma izinkinga ezihlobene nokuwohloka kwawo noma imikhiqizo yawo." Yize izidakamizwa ezahlukahlukene zizohluka ngezinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi, iningi lemithi ye-OTC izophelelwa yisikhathi kungakapheli iminyaka emibili kuya kwemithathu, usho kanjalo. (Kuthiwani ngempushana yephrotheni ephelelwe yisikhathi? Funda mayelana nokuthi kulungile yini ukuyisebenzisa noma uzoyijikijela.)

Uma ufuna ukwazi ngamavithamini aphelelisiwe nezithasiselo, nali iqiniso elijabulisayo: Abenzi bale mikhiqizo empeleni akudingeki ukuthi babeke izinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi kumalebula, ngokusho I-New York Times. Futhi lokho, ngokwengxenye, ngoba i-FDA ayilawuli amavithamini nezengezo. Uma abakhiqizi yenza bathathe isinqumo sokufaka idethi "ehamba phambili" noma "yokusebenzisa ngo-" kwilebuli kavithamini noma yokwengeza, umthetho uthi kufanele "bahloniphe lezo zimangalo." Okusho ukuthi, abakhiqizi banesibopho esingokomthetho "sokuba nedatha yokuzinza ekhombisa umkhiqizo usazoba namaphesenti ayi-100 ezithako zawo ezisohlwini kuze kube yilolo suku," kusho u-Tod Cooperman, umongameli we-ConsumerLab.com, utshele. I-New York Times. Ukuhumusha: Uma uthatha ivithamini ngemuva kokuthi "ingcono kakhulu" noma "isetshenziswe" idethi, asikho isiqinisekiso sokuthi izobamba amandla ayo okuqala.

Kungani kunesidingo samadethi okuphelelwa yisikhathi?

Izinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi ezidakamizweni ziyadingeka yi-FDA, futhi zisasebenza. Inhloso ukwazisa abantu ukuthi imithi ayiphephile nje kuphela kepha futhi ngempumelelo ezigulini, kusho uDkt. Glatter. Kepha abantu abaningi abanasiqiniseko sokuphepha okuhambisana nalezi zinsuku, ingasaphathwa eyokusebenza. Futhi, abakhiqizi akudingekile ukuthi bahlole amandla omkhiqizo kudlule usuku lwawo lokuphelelwa yisikhathi, ngakho-ke lokho kuvame ukuguquguquka okungaziwa. Kungenxa yale ndawo empunga lapho abathengi abaningi bevame ukulahla amaphilisi lokho kungenzeka ngaphandle kwalokho kulungile ukuthatha. Bese besebenzisa imali eningi bethenga imithi emisha.

Izinkampani zokwengeza azidingeki ngokusemthethweni ukufaka izinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi kumalebula emikhiqizo yazo.Imvamisa, impilo eshalofini ejwayelekile yamavithamini ebhodlela cishe iminyaka emibili, kepha futhi ingaxhomeka ohlotsheni lwamavithamini, nokuthi uligcina kuphi futhi kanjani. Ungagxili kakhulu kulokhu, nokho: Njengomuthi ophelelwe yisikhathi, ukuthatha amavithamini nezithako ezisizayo kudlule usuku lwazo "olungcono kakhulu" ngeke kudale umonakalo emzimbeni wakho; bangase babe namandla kancane. (Okuhlobene: Ingabe Amavithamini Enziwe Ngempela Afanele?)

Kukhona ingozi eyodwa ebalulekile okufanele uyicabangele, noma kunjalo.

Nakuba ukuphuza umuthi ophelelwe yisikhathi ngeke kukulimaze, amandla kungenzeka anciphile ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ngokuya ngenhloso yomuthi, lokho kungaba yingozi.

"Uma une-strep throat, futhi usebenzisa i-amoxicillin ephelelwe yisikhathi, i-antibiotic isazosebenza, kepha mhlawumbe ngamaphesenti angama-80 kuye kwangama-90 wamandla ayo okuqala," okwanele ukwelapha lesi sifo, kusho uDkt Glatter. Kodwa-ke, imishanguzo ephelelwe yisikhathi nebuthakathaka yezimo zempilo ezibucayi noma ukungezwani komzimba nakho kungaba indaba ehlukile.

"I-EpiPens, ngokwesibonelo, ingasetshenziswa ngaphambi kosuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi kuze kube unyaka, kepha ukusebenza ngempumelelo kungancishiswa ngamaphesenti angama-30 kuye kwangama-50 kwezinye izimo," usho kanje. "Lokhu kungabeka ezinye iziguli engcupheni ezihlangabezana nokungezwani komzimba noma i-anaphylaxis," usho kanje. (PS Ingabe Ukudla Okuphelelwe yisikhathi Kukubi Ngempela Kuwe?)

Futhi uma ucabanga ukuthi ungathatha isilinganiso esiphindwe kabili sezidambisi zinhlungu ze-OTC eseziphelelwe yisikhathi ukuze ufinyelele ukusebenza obukujwayele ngokuncane, ungakwenzi nje, kusho uDkt. Glatter. "Ungalokothi uthathe okungaphezu komthamo onconyiwe, ngoba lokhu kungahle kuholele emiphumeleni emibi ezinsweni zakho noma esibindini, kuya ngokuthi umuthi uhlanganiswa kanjani noma ususwe emzimbeni wakho," esho. (Qaphela ukuthi imithi efana ne-ibuprofen inezixwayiso kulebula mayelana nokulimala kwesibindi nezinso ngokuphathelene nemithamo ephezulu, ngakho-ke ungeqi isilinganiso esiphezulu sesibonelelo sansuku zonke ngaphandle uma ucelwe udokotela ngenye indlela.)

Iphuzu eliyinhloko: Ngokuyinhloko yonke imishanguzo-amavithamini nezengezo ezifakiwe zingaba namandla amancane njengoba izinyanga noma iminyaka idlula, kepha lokho kukodwa ngeke kuholele kunoma yimiphi imiphumela emibi. "Lapho isidakamizwa siphelelwa isikhathi, inkinga ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ingavezi umphumela oyifunayo, noma ngabe uhlobene nokunciphisa imfiva, okuvimbela ukukhula kwamagciwane noma isikhunta, ukudambisa izinhlungu, noma ukunciphisa umfutho wegazi," kusho uDkt. Glatter. "Akukhona ukuthi umuthi ophelelwe yisikhathi ngokwawo uyingozi, noma ukuthi kukhona ama-metabolite anobuthi angakulimaza." Cabangela injongo yomuthi nokuthi isiphi isimo noma izimpawu eyelaphayo, futhi nixoxe nganoma yiziphi izingozi ezingase zibe khona ngaphambi kwesikhathi nodokotela. Uma umuthi obuthakathaka ungasho inhlekelele empilweni yakho, yiya ekhemisi noma ushayele udokotela wakho ngokushesha. Okungcono nokho, yiba ne-stash yemithi ebalulekile (futhi engakapheli) ekulungele ngokuzayo lapho i-hangover (er, ikhanda) ishaya.
