Regardless of taking any medicine, you should read the instructions for use in advance, otherwise it may lead to tragedy. A woman surnamed Wang from Changchun City, Jilin Province in mainland China recently had a fever. She bought “acetaminophen” at a pharmacy through a friend’s introduction. Unexpectedly, she misread the name of the drug and bought it as “acetaminophen suppository”. After reading the instruction manual, she swallowed it in one gulp. It was not until the pill box fell out of the glove that she realized that she had taken the “anal suppository” by mistake, causing her to collapse on the spot.
According to the “City Express” report, the lady Wang revealed that she had a fever a few days ago and was recommended by a friend to buy “Acetaminophen”, but she bought “Acetaminophen Suppository” because the name was only one letter away, and she thought it was a brand at the time. Different, I took 1 capsule according to the dose my friend said. The next day, when the princess was about to take the second medicine, a glove suddenly fell out of the box with the words “medication finger cot” printed on it, which made her feel confused.
In order to find out the situation, the princess hurriedly picked up the instruction manual and read it, only to find that the medicine was a suppository, which needed to be inserted into the anus, and she collapsed on the spot. Afterwards, Wang Nv comforted herself. Fortunately, she didn’t read the instructions at the time, so she didn’t notice that it was a medicine for children, otherwise she might have taken 2 pills. She reminded everyone to read the instructions when taking medicine, as a warning.
According to the data, the indication of acetaminophen suppository is for fever caused by common cold or influenza in children, and it is also used to relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, joint pain, migraine, toothache, muscle pain, neuralgia, etc. , through the rectum when used; as for acetaminophen, it is the real oral drug. Although the names of the two are not much different, the methods of use are quite different, although they still have to be discharged from the same place in the end.
