Who is not suitable to drink Podophyllum fruit

Although the fruit of the Chinese wolfberry has great medicinal value, the saying "all medicine is three parts poison" is not without truth. The consumption of the fruit of the Chinese wolfberry should also be chosen according to personal constitution, type of disease, etc. Since it contains certain toxic elements, it is best to follow the doctor's advice on the amount and frequency of use, and do not use it privately. It is most convenient to make a drink of Podophyllum fruit by soaking it in water. But who is not suitable for drinking Podophyllum fruit?

It is not certain how long to use podophyllotoxin tincture, which depends on the patient's condition and the degree of utilization of the drug.

Before applying podophyllotoxin tincture, clean the affected area with a disinfectant and astringent solution (such as potassium permanganate solution) and dry it. Then use a special swab to apply the medicine to the wart, covering the entire wart. No need to repeat and try to avoid contact of the medicine with normal skin and mucous membranes. The total amount of medication should not exceed 1 ml. After applying the medicine, expose the affected area to allow the liquid to dry. Take the medicine twice a day for 3 consecutive days, then stop and observe for 4 days. If any lesions remain, the treatment can be repeated once, but not more than three times.

Podophyllotoxin tincture can be used to treat genital warts on the external genitalia and around the anus of men and women. Podophyllotoxin tincture has anti-tumor activity, can inhibit microtubule polymerization, inhibit cell nuclear mitosis, and cause it to stop at metaphase. External use in the treatment of condyloma acuminatum can inhibit the deoxynucleoside incorporation and DNA synthesis of cultured normal human skin keratinocytes and cervical cancer epithelial cells, hindering their division and proliferation. After external application treatment, it can inhibit the division and proliferation of epithelial cells in wart-like proliferation caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, causing them to necrotize and fall off, thereby playing a role in treating genital warts.

The following people should not use podophyllotoxin tincture:

1. People who are allergic to podophyllotoxin tincture. Allergy symptoms may include rash, itching, shortness of breath, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, and muscle or joint pain.

2. Children, pregnant and lactating women should not use podophyllotoxin tincture.

3. It is forbidden for patients with unhealed wounds after surgery.

Therefore, in any case, patients in need must use podophyllotoxin tincture under the guidance of a doctor.
