Diabetes Drugs Safe to Use, But ....

Diabetes Drugs Safe to Use, But ....

When patients with diabetes have set meals and doing enough exercise, but blood sugar is still not under control, it would require the help of drugs to increase insulin secretion or reduce insulin resistance.

There are a variety of diabetes medications, either oral or injection. At oral medication usually begins with a relatively small dose and then increased gradually if necessary.

As with other drugs that are not free from side effects, as well as for diabetes medication. These side effects can occur if the drug is given too much or individual reaction. Some recent studies even indicate a link between diabetes drug to increased risk of cancer.

"All drugs have side effects. Therefore, after the drug was released, there is the so-called post surveillance," said Dr. Ronald Hukom Sp.PD-KHOM, internal medicine physicians who are also experts in the cancer field when asked for his opinion on the use of diabetes medications that can trigger cancer.

Ronald says, post surveillance is defined as supervision of medication that has been widely circulated and approved by the competent authority, to be seen how far the side effects that may result from the drug in the long term. In Indonesia, surveillance is conducted in a rigorous and documented by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM).

Ronald rate, people do not have to worry related to the findings that suggest the risk of the use of diabetes medications such as metformin, insulin and sulfonylureas on the development of pancreatic cancer. Because according to him, as long as can keep the dose and handled by an expert, the drug would not be harmful.

"Drugs are good for diabetes drugs metformin and cheap. Proof is not an attractive drug regulatory authorities and refer to this dangerous drug," said the doctor who practiced daily in Dharmais Cancer Hospital Jakarta.

Even though there are side effects, but if the risk is much smaller than the benefits it does not need to worry about.
"No need to worry about being watched and used along with the correct dose,"
he added.

Ronald also recommended that any physician providing information to patients about drug side effects that may result if used in a long time. This is so that patients can also use it with reasonable limits.

"If you are still worried, consult your doctor who gave drugs. Because the side effects of drugs on each person is different," he explained.

According to Ronald, each drug has harmful side effects if in its consumer does not follow procedures. He took the example of the use of chemotherapy drugs. Chemotherapy drugs can be categorized as a dangerous drug because it can cause cancer.

"That is, after several years of chemotherapy drugs a person can get cancer. But with the proper dose and appropriate, it will not harm," he said.

Meanwhile, Dr. Rianto Setiabudy, SpFK (K), Professor of the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia said, bardasarkan existing literature, he never found any data showing that the use of diabetes drugs trigger dangerous side effects.

"We have here the POM. If something is harmful to society, POM must act," he said.

But according to Riyanto, these drugs may still be dangerous if taken alone in its use (self medicine) - without consulting your doctor.

"It's not my intention to send someone to the doctor. But diabetes drugs that includes prescription drugs. If used without supervision it can be dangerous," he said

He also called for the public to avoid the habit of treating the disease itself. "If a mild disease may not be anything. But if such as diabetes, hypertension and heart, they should see a doctor," added Riyanto.

Antibiotics and Immune of Child

Antibiotics and Immune Child - Reviews about the importance of rational use of antibiotics to children has been frequently discussed. But the side effect was discovered only limited effects of germ resistance. In fact, the overuse of antibiotics can lead to chronic disease.

"The use of antibiotics that are not rational thought to be triggered many cases of obesity, type 1 diabetes, allergies and asthma, which now number more than doubled," said Martin Blaser, professor of microbiology from New York University Langone Medical Center, USA.
Antibiotics and Immune of Child
Humans are also often called meta-organisms, because of the large number and volume of microbes that live in our bodies. They live in the intestines, skin, even the navel.

Research shows that many microbes that provide health benefits, such as helping the body get the vitamins K, energy, and prevent the onset of autoimmune diseases.

Meanwhile, an antibiotic derived from the word "anti" and "bios" (life, life), means a substance that can kill and weaken a living creature, ie, micro-organisms such as bacteria, parasites, or fungi. But he did not kill the virus.

Antibiotics are miracle drugs, and he has contributed to increased human life expectancy. Unfortunately, doctors often prescribe antibiotics easily, including for diseases caused by viruses.

Blasser decades researching the bacteria found, irrational use of antibiotics which give a greater impact but less recognized, namely changing the microbial community in the body.

Allegations were reinforced by a study in 2010 that found antibiotic causes changes in gut microbial populations drastically and will never be back to normal. Other research shows super antibiotics causes bacteria in the body that can last up to 3 years.

According Blesser, in the 21st century, the bacteria that had been living in the intestines of humans thousands of years ago now the number is less than 6 percent. The study was conducted in children in developed countries like the U.S., Sweden and Germany.

Research shows the use amoxilin, can remove 20-50 percent of the bacteria H. pylori. The effect, colon cancer is now rarely found. But diseases such as cancer of the esophagus and reflux improved dramatically.

"It had something to do with the reduction in H.pylori bacteria that actually protect the esophagus. Impaired balance of these bacteria also cause a person more susceptible to asthma and allergies," he said.

Women born in the 1940s, populations of bacteria in the body is still normal because at that time only known two types of antibiotics. If they had a daughter, chances are good the number of bacteria decreased slightly, but the grandchildren and great-grandson, dwindling again.

"Every generation has a number of bacteria that fewer and fewer. I am not suggesting that being anti on antibiotics but physicians should be wise to look at the benefits and disadvantages of prescribing antibiotics," he said.

7 Factors Trigger "Back Pain"

7 Factors Trigger "Back Pain" - Back pain is one disease that definitely affects 8 out of 10 adults in his life. Back pain most often occurs because the back muscles stretched or stretched ligaments. But there are times when pain arises just slowly.

Lack of physical activity are risk factors that make a person more susceptible to back pain. This situation is exacerbated by excessive exercise habits only on weekends.

"If we do something heavy, after a whole week more passive activities, we are greatly at risk injuring themselves," said Shamie. He added that high-impact exercise that is done without heating to strengthen the torso (core) will make the muscles do not strongly support the motion carried.

He therefore suggested that at least we did the basic exercises for strengthening the torso 15 minutes every day and heating for the torso and the muscles are more prepared when you exercise more intensely on the weekends.

2. Carrying the child

Holding the child in the back, especially if the child's weight is large enough, will cause tremendous pressure on the spine. Moreover, if the child is a lot of moves, the risk is whiplash.

3. Sitting hunched

Sit with your back arched in a long time will cause the lumbar bone is not propped up so well that the greater the pressure on the discs. "But the greatest pressure on the disc occurs when we are in a sitting position and then in a tilted position about to take something from the floor. Therefore if you want to pick something new once stood crouched down to pick it up," he said.

4. Smoke

Smoking will cause the disc to deteriorate rapidly. Disc or bone bearing this has on the outer fibrous wall that protects the gel in it.

5. Rotating waist

All the movements that involve rotation in the upper abdomen, repeatedly will cause micro-trauma to the lower spine. This damage will accumulate and the risk of causing damage at a later date.

6. Lack of sleep

Spinal disc has no blood vessels so that they are not getting enough nutrients. As a result the disc is more susceptible to crack and dehydration. "Try to sleep enough at least 7 hours every night because at night the disc will be re-hydrated," he said.

7. Soft bed

Bedding that is too soft and curved in the middle will make the bone structure changed.

Smallpox | Smallpox 2002 | Smallpox vaccine

Smallpox is an infectious disease unique to humans, caused by either of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor. The term "smallpox" was first used in Europe in the 15th century to distinguish variola from the "great pox" (syphilis). V. major produces a more serious disease and has an overall mortality rate of 30–35%. Smallpox is believed to have emerged in human populations about 10,000 BC.Of all those infected, 20–60%—and over 80% of infected children—died from the disease. Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300–500 million deaths during the 20th century. After vaccination campaigns throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the WHO certified the eradication of smallpox in 1979.

Smallpox | Smallpox 2002
The smallpox vaccine was the first successful vaccine to be developed. Prior to widespread vaccination, mortality rates in individuals with smallpox were high—up to 35% in some cases.

In China powdered smallpox scabs were blown up the noses of the healthy. Source material tells us on Montagu; "When Lady Mary was in the Ottoman Empire, she discovered the local practice of inoculation against smallpox called variolation.” In 1721, an epidemic of smallpox hit London and left the British Royal Family in fear.
