61-year-old man takes health care products to lower blood lipids and loses his eyesight. Doctors have a key problem

With the improvement of life conditions, people's awareness of raising business is getting stronger and stronger.

In addition to daily diet, more and more people are starting to supplement various health products and nutritional supplements to further increase internal nutrition.

But too many supplements and health supplements are not a good thing.

A pathological report in the "Glass Video Network Disease Magazine" on October 29 said that an elderly man injured specific cells in the eyes due to excessive use of tobacco acid (vitamin B3), losing his energy and approaching blindness.

Why can nutritional supplements lead to blindness?

Tobacco acid, also known as vitamin B3, is clinically used to help treat hypersterolemia, and it can be used in two forms: manual and non-prescription.

Doctors often use tonic acid and pneumoniae to help reduce calcified sterol and treat heart disease. Because tobacco acid helps reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) pyrosterols and reduces triglycerides.

However, if you take too much tobacco acid, you may experience rare toxic reactions, which will cause the patient to suffer from dysfunction and lose his/her vision, resulting in salt acid-induced cystic yellow spot disease.

The old man, who appeared in the previous case, is 61 years old this year. Because of severe hypertension and hyperlipidemia, in order to improve his blood lipid, he bought cigarette acid and took it in a pharmacy.

For several months, I took 3-6 grams of tobacco acid almost every day. As a result, the patient developed symptoms of blurred eyes and impaired vision.

The doctor used various clinical advanced clinical techniques such as cisin angiography, optical coherence layer scanning, and multifocal network membrane imaging to check their network membranes. Finally, it was diagnosed as a cystic yellow spot disease caused by tobacco acid, which caused dysplaque in the yellow spot area and caused most of its visual function to be lost.

Under the advice of the doctor, the patient immediately stopped taking this non-regular tobacco acid.

After a week, the patient's vision improved quickly, and after two months, his vision completely returned to normal, and the cells in the eyes were also repaired.

Do not blindly take large doses of vitamins

Because blindness caused by excessive doses of tobacco acid is continuous and painless, the patient's visual intensity is damaged without knowing it, so people taking tobacco acid must pay attention to taking tobacco acid correctly.

If people with hyperlipidemia and hypertension want to improve by taking tobacco acid, they must take prescription tobacco acid under medical treatment.

If you want to take other nutrient supplements and non-regular tobacco acid, it is best to ask the doctor in advance and do not take it without authorization.

Therefore, be sure to be vigilant about this vitamin, and excessive infusion may have a negative impact on vision.

From this case, we should also learn from it that we should not blindly supplement various nutrient supplements. If the dose is exceeded, it is likely to have an over-received effect and bring harm to the body.

Only when appropriate, supplementing the correct dose of vitamins can bring good results.

How to properly supplement vitamins

Vitamins are mainly divided into “ water-soluble vitamins ” and “ fat-soluble vitamins ”

Water-soluble vitamins can be soluble in water, the most typical of which are vitamin C and vitamin B. If taken overdose, it can be excreted from the body through urine. As long as you take it as described, there are generally no side effects.

But fat-soluble vitamins are different, generally including vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E. These vitamins will be dissolved in oils and fats. Taking too much will cause poisoning in the body.

Therefore, you must consult a doctor before taking this type of vitamin, and it should not be taken for a long time, otherwise it will easily cause poisoning.

Which population is suitable for vitamin supplementation?

1. Hair removal population: You can take vitamins that promote hair growth, such as vitamin B2 and vitamin B6;

2. Vegetarians: You can supplement vitamins that are rarely contained in plants, such as vitamin B12 and vitamin D, as well as trace elements such as calcium, iron, and irrigation;

3. Oral swelling: You can supplement vitamin B2 and vitamin B12 ;

4. Pregnant women: Fluid leaf acid (vitamin M) can reduce the risk of congenital defects in the fetus;

5. People with poor vision: lack of vitamin A is prone to night blindness, and supplementation of vitamin A is good for maintaining vision;

6. People with poor resistance: Vitamin C can be supplemented to promote the maturation of red cells and enhance resistance.

In daily life, as long as we eat a reasonable diet, we can get enough vitamins from it, so not everyone needs vitamins and nutritional supplements.

If an individual has a special situation, he can supplement vitamins according to the doctor's instructions.

Scientific supplementation and strict control of the amount are the methods to take vitamins or nutrient supplements correctly.
