Any medicine has certain indications and contraindications Because mung bean is cold, it is often used to clear away heat and heat in summer In daily life, whether to take mung bean when taking traditional Chinese medicine has become a concern of many patients In this regard, some experts believe that mung bean is to solve the toxicity of drugs and food, not antidotes (rumor: can Chinese medicine and mung bean be taken at the same time? Picture source: Baidu picture) summer is coming Mung bean soup is a common drink for people to relieve summer heat In the folk often have to eat Chinese medicine, do not drink mung bean soup, the reason is mung bean antidote In the face of such a statement, do you believe it or laugh it off? What is the fact? Mung bean itself is a traditional Chinese medicine? It is cool and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification It is a traditional Chinese medicine in itself As we know, the composition of traditional Chinese medicine is usually composed of multiple drugs, rarely single Since mungbean is a traditional Chinese medicine, it is possible to use it together with other drugs Since it can be used together, there is no antidote What is the formula taboo of mung bean? We know that any medicine has certain indications and contraindications Because mung bean is cold, it is often used to clear away heat and heat in summer However, it may not be suitable for people with deficiency of spleen and stomach and Yang, such as those suffering from chronic gastroenteritis, joint pain, numbness, adverse activities, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dysmenorrhea, etc., mung bean can aggravate the condition Therefore, such patients should not eat mung bean when taking traditional Chinese Medicine Whether mung bean can be taken when taking traditional Chinese medicine is related to the property of traditional Chinese medicine Taking heat clearing traditional Chinese medicine, such as Coptis, Scutellaria, phellodendron, Folium Isatidis, isatis root, bezoar, honeysuckle, gypsum, etc., while taking mung bean can increase the curative effect of medicine However, taking ginseng, astragalus, cinnamon, aconite, clove, galangal isotherm tonic drugs, as well as Cinnamon Twig, ginger, asarum isotherm by dispersing cold herbs, mung bean can reduce the efficacy and affect the therapeutic effect Which drugs can mung bean solve? It should be said that the antidote property of mung bean is for some traditional Chinese medicine, just like the western medicine in which the pressor and depressor cannot be used at the same time Their actions are antagonistic to each other and cannot be taken together From this point of view, booster drugs are antidotes for antihypertensive drugs, but if you think that booster drugs are antidotes for all drugs, it is not appropriate Therefore, it is not accurate to use the word "antidote" to summarize mung bean The principle of mung bean "antidote" is to react with alkaloids in other traditional Chinese medicines, and precipitate, making the medicine invalid In western medicine, there are also drugs that are similar to mung bean, such as: medoba, a drug for Parkinson's disease, can react with the plant protein in mung bean to produce metal chelate, reducing the drug effect Therefore, patients taking medoba should not eat mung bean soup at the same time, but take it after an interval of 1-2 hours, so as to avoid the reaction between mung bean and drug and reduce the effect of medoba 1-2 hours after taking the medicine, it is OK to drink mung bean soup because of the absorption of medoba In addition, the above problems may occur when mungbean is used together with zinc, calcium, xiaoshierkang, gaizhonggai and zinc calcium gluconate oral liquid At the same time, the protein, tannin and flavonoid compounds in mung bean can combine with organophosphorus pesticide, mercury, arsenic and lead compounds to form sediment, so that its toxicity can be reduced or disappeared, and it is not easy to be absorbed by gastrointestinal tract In clinical, mung bean can be used as auxiliary treatment of pesticide and heavy metal poisoning Therefore, we believe that mung bean is to solve the toxicity of drugs and food, not the antidote The idea that mung bean soup is an antidote is incorrect We suggest that we should not eat mung bean during the period of taking warm traditional Chinese medicine; when taking drugs such as medoba, we should take mung bean soup after an interval of 1-2 hours In most cases, taking medicine does not affect mung bean consumption.
