Since the beginning of summer, mosquitoes have increased, especially in the rainy season, when the weather has become humid and hot, resulting in frequent mosquito bites and eczema for many citizens. In response to this situation, recently, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University has launched new summer homemade preparations, such as the pharmaceutical version of "flower water" - antipruritic, a variety of skin anti-inflammatory lotions, etc., which have been well received by patients. The pharmacist of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University reminded the public that in addition to using the homemade preparations launched by the hospital to relieve the discomfort caused by mosquito bites and eczema according to the doctor's instructions, they should also take mosquito prevention measures and maintain environmental and personal hygiene.
Eczema is frequent during the rainy season
Homemade lotion fire out of the circle
The patient, Ms. Li, a 35-year-old office worker, recently started to show redness, swelling and itching on her skin due to her busy work schedule and the hot and humid weather during the rainy season. At first, she thought it was just an ordinary skin allergy, so she bought some ointment to apply, but the symptoms did not improve, but became more and more serious. On the recommendation of a friend, Ms. Li came to the Department of Dermatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University for treatment. After carefully inquiring about Ms. Li's medical history and symptoms, and conducting a detailed examination for her, the attending doctor finally diagnosed her with eczema. Subsequently, the doctor formulated a personalized treatment plan for her, including topical application of the homemade preparation of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University, phenol furnace lotion to reduce inflammation and astringency, oral anti-allergy medication to reduce symptoms such as itching. After a course of treatment, Ms. Li's eczema symptoms were significantly relieved. Her skin redness has subsided, itching has lessened, and her quality of life has improved significantly.
"Doctor, prescribe me some phenol furnace lotion, the eczema on my body has been more serious recently, many friends recommended me to use this, and I came to the doctor to buy it." Citizen Xiao Zhang recently also "hit" eczema, after careful examination of her, according to her condition, for her condition, prescribed a homemade lotion attached to the hospital, and at the same time explained to her the etiology, pathogenesis and precautions in daily life, told her that eczema is a common skin disease, related to genetics, environment, immunity and other factors, in the Huangmei season and other hot and humid weather, special attention should be paid to keeping the skin clean and dry, avoiding excessive cleaning and irritation, wearing breathable and comfortable clothing, etc.
Cheng Zongqi, deputy director of the Department of Pharmacy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University, said that in order to enable patients to get more safe, effective and personalized skin treatment, the old pharmacists of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University made full use of pharmaceutical knowledge and clinical experience to carefully develop self-made preparations such as phenol furnace lotion with calamine, zinc oxide, phenol, glycerin, etc.
"Calamine has an astringent and anti-itching effect, while zinc oxide can exert a certain anti-inflammatory effect. The addition of phenol enhances the pain-relieving and anti-itching function of the lotion, and at the same time has a good therapeutic effect on some common skin infections. Glycerin, on the other hand, acts as a humectant, relieving dryness and increasing skin comfort. Cheng Zongqi said that in addition to phenol furnace lotion, they also developed self-made preparations such as caramine lotion and dermatitis cream for skin diseases such as eczema, and the development process of these self-preparations strictly followed the scientific process of drug research and development, from the screening of raw materials to the optimization of the formula, and then to the determination of the preparation process, after several generations of pharmacists have made unremitting efforts, and after decades of clinical verification, they have been unanimously recognized by doctors and patients. In recent years, in order to improve product quality, the Department of Pharmacy has actively carried out the work of improving the quality standards of preparations by using advanced testing equipment and methods, and continuously improved the quality assurance system of products.
Mosquito bites are high in summer
The pharmaceutical version of "toilet water" is popular
"Doctor, I keep sneezing as soon as I smell the toilet water, but recently there have been a lot of mosquitoes, and I have been bitten all the time, is there an anti-itch medicine that replaces the toilet water?" A few days ago, the Department of Dermatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University received a patient Mr. Li who had red, swollen, itchy and uncomfortable skin due to mosquito bites. Mr. Li has to work outdoors a lot due to his work, and under the influence of the hot and humid weather during the Huangmei season, he has been frequently bitten by mosquitoes recently, which has caused him great pain. When his colleagues go outdoors, they carry a bottle of toilet water with them to prevent mosquitoes, but Mr. Li can't smell the toilet water, so he asks the doctor if he has any anti-itch medicine that does not have a pungent smell.
In response to Mr. Li's condition, the doctor prescribed him antipruritic cream and antipruritic cream, both of which were self-made preparations developed by the Department of Pharmacy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University, which have the effect of quickly relieving itching and reducing skin redness and swelling. Among them, the appearance of anti-itch is similar to that of ordinary toilet water, which is convenient for Mr. Li to use in daily mosquito prevention. The doctor explained to Mr. Li in detail how to use the medication and told him to avoid scratching the affected area.
Cheng Zongqi introduced that the formula of this anti-itch is mainly menthol, camphor, etc., which is used to relieve itching on adult skin, and the product does not add irritating ingredients such as flavor and pigment, so it will not cause discomfort to sensitive people such as Mr. Li. Both menthol and camphor have a natural cooling sensation and mosquito repellent effect, which can effectively relieve itching and redness after mosquito bites, while exuding a fresh natural aroma and avoiding the pungent or allergic reactions that can be caused by traditional toilet water.
"In response to the needs and differences of patients, special attention is paid to the safety and applicability of products in the process of drug development." Cheng Zongqi said that this antipruritic gel is not only suitable for people who are sensitive to toilet water like Mr. Li, but also widely suitable for all skin types, especially suitable for the public to use during outdoor activities in summer, but it is worth noting that patients who are allergic to menthol, camphor and alcohol should use it with caution. Cheng Zongqi said that these self-made preparations have the characteristics of closely combining clinical needs, exact efficacy, low price, timely supply and fast turnover, especially some characteristic preparations, which play an irreplaceable role in market drugs and have become an important supplement to clinical drugs, and play an important role in ensuring the health of patients and making up for the lack of drug supply in the market.
