Ngabe uTamiflu uyasebenza?

Imininingwane Yezidakamizwa

Ukuthi inkathi yomkhuhlane ithinta abantu abaningi minyaka yonke, akusho ukuthi yigciwane elingalithathi kancane. Kungaba nezinkinga ezinkulu, ikakhulukazi kubantu abathile. Uma useqenjini elinobungozi obukhulu, umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo angakuyalela UTamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate ) kusibonakaliso sokuqala sezimpawu zomkhuhlane. Odokotela abathathu bachaza ukusebenza kweTamiflu, nokuthi ungazi kanjani ukuthi kufanele uyithathe.

OKUSHIWO: Uyini umkhuhlane?

Yini ngempela eyenziwa nguTamiflu?

ITamiflu ngumuthi olwa namagciwane ovimba umkhuhlane u-A no-B ngokuhlasela igciwane futhi ulinqande lingaziphindeli, ngokusho kwe Ukuphathwa Kwezokudla Nezidakamizwa (i-FDA) . I-Tamiflu ayisebenzi kwamanye amagciwane noma izifo ezibangelwa amagciwane.

Ukulungiselela — funda: ukuthola umuthi wokugomela umkhuhlane waminyaka yonke — kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokugwema ukubamba lesi sifo sokuphefumula. I-Tamiflu kwesinye isikhathi isetshenziselwa ukuvimbela umkhuhlane kubantu abadalulwe yigciwane lomkhuhlane, kepha akuyona indawo ephumelelayo yokugoma.

Uma uthola umkhuhlane, iTamiflu inganciphisa ukuqina kwezimpawu futhi inciphise isikhathi ozizwa ugula ngaso.

Iphumelela kangakanani iTamiflu?

I-Tamiflu inganciphisa izinkinga zomkhuhlane (njenge-pneumonia) ngama-44%, kanye nengozi yokulaliswa esibhedlela ngama-63% lapho ithathwa emahoreni angama-48 okuqala ngemuva kokuthola igciwane, ngokusho kwabenzi beTamiflu. Lapho isetshenziselwa ukuvimbela umkhuhlane kubantu ababhekene naleli gciwane, yehlisa amathuba okugula kuze kufike kuma-55%, kusho Isikhungo Sikazwelonke Socwaningo Lwezempilo .

I-Tamiflu ayilona ikhambi lomkhuhlane, kuchaza UMichael Carnathan, MD , udokotela womndeni eBethlehem, ePennsylvania. Ngeke izisuse ngokuphelele zonke izimpawu zakho, kepha ivamise ukunciphisa isikhathi sezimpawu. Kusebenza kakhulu lapho kuqalwa phakathi kwamahora okuqala angama-24 kuye kwangama-48 ngemuva kophawu lokuqala. Ungesabi ukuxhumana nodokotela wakho lapho kuqala uphawu lomkhuhlane nobuhlungu bomzimba.

OKUSHIWO: Ngabe umkhuhlane udutshulwe noma uTamiflu uvimbela i-COVID-19?

Ngabe iTamiflu isebenza ngemuva kwamahora angama-48?

Awuqinisekile ukuthi unezimpawu zomkhuhlane? Ungahle uvuke umkhuhlane nezinhlungu nezinhlungu, noma ungabuya ekhaya ungazizwa kahle. Izimpawu zomkhuhlane zivame ukuvela kungazelelwe futhi zikwenze uzizwe sengathi ushayiswe yiloli lakwaMack, kusho UGenevieve Browning, MD , isisebenzi sezokwelapha somndeni esineNovant Health eCharlotte, eNorth Carolina. Futhi uphawu lokuqala lwezimpawu kulapho udinga ukwenza okuthile. Ngoba kunesikhathi esifushane nje sokuthatha iTamiflu ngakho-ke kuyasebenza, kungcono ukuxhumana nodokotela wakho ngokushesha. Ngemuva kwamahora angama-48, kungahle kungabi nalutho ukuthatha iTamiflu.

Usebenza ngokushesha kangakanani uTamiflu?

Okwe ukwelashwa komkhuhlane , ITamiflu kufanele ithathwe izinsuku ezinhlanu ngemuva kokuqala kwezimpawu zomkhuhlane. Abantu abadala nentsha (iminyaka engu-13 nangaphezulu) bangathatha ama-75 mg kabili ngosuku izinsuku ezinhlanu. Izimpawu zomkhuhlane zihlala ku izinsuku ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisikhombisa , kepha iTamiflu inganciphisa ubude nobukhulu bezimpawu zomkhuhlane.

Usuleleleka kuze kube nini umkhuhlane ngemuva kokuthatha iTamiflu?

Kubalulekile ukuthi wazi ukuthi usathathelana ngemuva kokuthatha iTamiflu. Okusho ukuthi, ungalidlulisela kwabanye leli gciwane, ngakho-ke ukuthi uqala imishanguzo yokulwa namagciwane akusho ukuthi ungaphuma uhambe.

Uma ucabanga ukuthi unomkhuhlane, kufanele uhlale ushayela umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo esikhundleni sokulinda ukubona ukuthi uyathuthuka yini. Kungcono ukutshelwa ukuthi awunayo kunokuyeka ukubiza futhi uhlupheke phakathi nesonto noma ngaphezulu kwezimpawu ezikhubazayo.

Ngabe iTamiflu iphephile?

ITamiflu iphephe kakhulu , futhi kuyasebenzaiziguli ezinamasonto ama-2 ubudala. Kodwa-ke, kufanele uhlale uxoxa ngezinzuzo nezingozi zokuthatha iTamiflu nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

I-Tamiflu ingaba nemiphumela engemihle (imvamisa eyenzeka ezinsukwini ezimbili zokuqala), nakwabanye abantu, lokhukungaba kubi kakhulu kunokuba nomkhuhlane, ngokusho kukaDkt. Brauning. Imiphumela emibi kakhulu yeTamiflu ifaka phakathi:

• Ubuhlungu besisu
• Isicanucanu
• Ukuhlanza
• Ubuhlungu bekhanda

Ngokusho kwe-FDA, izingane kanye nentsha enomkhuhlane basengozini eyengeziwe yemiphumela emibi efana nokuquleka, ukudideka nokuziphatha okungajwayelekile. Noma i-FDA ivume iTamiflu yezingane ezincane, uDkt Brauning uhlala eqaphela lapho eyinikeza izingane ngenxa yemiphumela emibi. Kufanele uthintane nodokotela wezingane wengane yakho ngaphambi kokuyinika iTamiflu.

Ngubani okufanele (futhi okungafanele) athathe uTamiflu?

I-Tamiflu ingcono kakhulu ezigulini ezisengozini enkulu yokuthola izinkinga ezinzima ezivela kwigciwane lomkhuhlane. Lokhu kufaka phakathi izingane ezisencane kakhulu, asebekhulile, iziguli ezingakhubazekile, iziguli ezinesifo sikashukela, isifo senhliziyo, isifuba somoya, nezinye izifo ezingalapheki, kanye nabahlali basemakhaya asebekhulile.

Iziguli ezinokukhubazeka kwesibindi okuphakathi ukuya kokulingene zingathatha ngokuphepha iTamiflu. Iziguli ezinesifo esibi sesibindi kufanele zikhulume nodokotela wazo ngokuthi kuphephile yini ukuthatha iTamiflu. Minan iziguli ezinezinkinga eziphansi zezinso noma ezinezifo zokugcina izinso kanye ne-dialysis, umthamo weTamiflu kungenzeka ulungiswe. Kepha, iTamiflu ayinconyelwe abantu abanezifo zezinso zokugcina futhi abekho ku-dialysis.

Izikhungo Zokulawula Nokuvimbela Izifo ( i-CDC ) futhi kuncoma I-Relenza (zanamivir) , Rapivab (peramivir), kanye I-Xofluza (baloxavir marboxil) . Uma i-Tamiflu ingakulungele, ungabuza umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo mayelana nalokhu okunye ukwelashwa komkhuhlane ngaphezu kwemithi ethengiswayo kanye nezithasiselo zokunciphisa izimpawu nokukhulisa amasosha akho omzimba.

Ngabe iTamiflu iphephile uma ukhulelwe?

Abesifazane abakhulelwe kufanele bafune usizo lwezokwelapha lapho kuqala uphawu lomkhuhlane ngoba basengozini enkulu yezinkinga ezivela kulo mkhuhlane, kusho U-Alyse Kelly-Jones, MD , udokotela wezifo zabesifazane oneNovant Health eCharlotte, eNorth Carolina. Lo mkhuhlane uyingozi komama abakhulelwe nezingane zabo. Ingabulala ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, futhi inyusa nengozi yokusebenza ngaphambi kwesikhathi, okubeka ingane engcupheni yezinkinga zempilo, usho kanjalo.

Ngoba azikho izifundo ezilawulwa kahle kwabesifazane abakhulelwe, iTamiflu izobekwa kuphela uma udokotela wakho ezwa ukuthi izinzuzo zidlula izingozi ezingaba khona kumbungu. Kodwa-ke, kusibonakaliso sokuqala sezimpawu, noma uma usebenzisa imfiva, kufanele uxhumane nomhlinzeki wakho wokunakekela oyinhloko ngokushesha. Ngoba amahhovisi amaningi akhetha ukungabi namuntu onomkhuhlane egunjini lokulinda (lapho angawudlulisela kwabanye abantu), ungathola ukwelashwa ngocingo. Uma uhlangabezana nezimpawu ezengeziwe njengokuphefumula okuncane, ubuhlungu besifuba, noma ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, cabanga ukwelashwa okuphuthumayo ukuze ubone ukuthi ukunakekelwa kweziguli ezidingekayo kuyadingeka yini.

OKUSHIWO: Ngingathola umkhuhlane lapho ngikhulelwe?

Ungabiza nini udokotela wakho

Izimpawu zomkhuhlane zihlanganisa umkhuhlane, ukugodola, ubuhlungu bomzimba, ukuba buthakathaka, futhi kungafaka umphimbo obuhlungu, ikhanda elibuhlungu noma ukukhwehlela. Ngenkathi umkhuhlane ovamile uza kancane kancane, izimpawu zomkhuhlane zivela ngokushesha. Uma uhlangabezana nanoma yiziphi zalezi zimpawu noma uvezwe kumuntu otholakale enomkhuhlane, kufanele ushayele ihhovisi likadokotela wakho ukuze ubone ukuthi iTamiflu ikulungele yini. Khumbula, amahora okuqala angama-48 abalulekile ekwelashweni komkhuhlane okuphumelela kakhulu, ngakho unganqikazi ukwenza lolo cingo.
