Is it okay to go to bed immediately after taking the medicine?

　　Immediately after taking medicine sleep ok

　　Many people have the habit of taking medicine before going to bed at night or in bed. They believe that resting immediately after taking the medicine can help the absorption of the medicine.

　　In fact, going to bed immediately after taking the medicine, especially when the amount of water consumed is small, will often cause the medicine to stick to the esophagus and make it difficult to enter the stomach. Some drugs are highly corrosive and will corrode the esophageal mucosa after dissolving in the esophagus, causing esophageal ulcers. In mild cases, it may only cause pain when swallowing. In severe cases, it may damage blood vessels and cause bleeding. Many people who suffer from drug-induced esophageal ulcers have recently taken capsule drugs before going to bed, such as antibiotic capsules, cold capsules, etc.

　　The correct way to take medicine is:

　　You should sit or stand when taking the medicine. Do not lie on your back immediately after taking the medicine. Stay for a while and use the gravity of the medicine to quickly pass through the esophagus to avoid being retained in the esophagus, delaying the effect of the medicine and damaging the esophageal mucosa. You should drink more water when taking the medicine, usually 200 ml to 300 ml of warm water. It is best to move for five or six minutes before lying down to sleep. If you feel that the medicine is blocked in the esophagus while taking the medicine, and the situation is serious, you should go to the hospital immediately Hospital examine. In addition, antihypertensive drugs should not be taken before going to bed. Otherwise, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications may easily be induced.
