When it comes to overseas shopping and purchasing, mothers may be no strangers!
Before having a baby, he focused on overseas shopping for skin care products and bags, and after having a baby, he turned around and focused on overseas shopping for medicine.
However, do you really think that "the moon is rounder abroad"?
No, almost all of the people who have gone to Japan to buy medicines have heard of a well-known brand "Kobayashi Pharmaceutical" that has an accident!
In addition, the well-known "Anpanman Children's Cold Syrup" in the parent circle was recalled on a large scale due to the leakage of the quality inspection process before leaving the factory.

Japanese Internet celebrity cough medicine overturned one after another.......
The baby eats Haitao medicine and urgently needs gastric lavage......
Here is also a reminder to everyone, if you have these medicines at home, throw them away, and at the same time, please transfer them to your parents and friends, don't pit the baby!
Even if the medicine does not belong to the batch in question, don't keep it! Because Anpanman is mostly a compound preparation, it is easy to repeat the drug when used, which will bring side effects to the baby!
In fact, when it comes to overseas medicines, the question is far more than this, are they worth the big money for parents to buy?

Is Haitao Medicine necessarily suitable for Chinese families?
After chatting with the experts, HKUST believes that overseas shopping medicine is not suitable for all Chinese babies!
There are 3 reasons for this: 1 internal cause + 2 external causes!
Although when they are born, babies from different countries look only different in skin color...

However, depending on the living environment and food, the "constitution" and habits will also be different.
Like, they don't like our white rice, and we're not used to eating cow cheese every day!
When it comes to medicine, the principle is the same!
For example, the same manufacturer's Pumik Lingshu -

Due to the differences in nebulizer pumps and individual differences in children, in order to inhale the same amount of medicine, the initial dosage must be increased.
In addition, the labeling units of drugs at home and abroad are also different, and the confusion is converted, or the medicine is arranged for the baby just by reading the Arabic numerals in the instructions, which is likely to delay or even aggravate the baby's condition!
Pay for one's whistle!
Domestic drug instructions are already difficult for many parents!
Not to mention, there is also a sea of drugs to crack the "language code"!
Even if you don't think about it with a "big heart", you will encounter 2 major problems if you give it to your baby without understanding the ingredients, adaptation symptoms and efficacy of the drug:
(1) Overdose:
For example, the cold medicine and fever reducer taken by the baby contain acetaminophen, which is an overdose and is very harmful to the baby!
(2) Drug allergies:
I couldn't get the ingredients of the medicine, and I gave the baby an allergenic drug, which caused the baby to be very uncomfortable...

4 major injuries of sea shopping medicine, you must know!
Ladies and gentlemen, buying medicine is not like buying a bag, buying the wrong bag, buying a fake is just losing money, and buying the wrong medicine is a joke with the baby's little body!

Why do you advise you to be cautious when shopping for drugs overseas, the following 4 reasons are sufficient:
1. The composition of the drug is not clear, and adverse reactions are very likely to occur
Parents who are not medical majors, looking at the drug instructions in Chinese is still ambiguous, let alone difficult English (Japanese, Korean)?
If you can't understand the ingredients in the instructions, it is likely to cause two problems:
(1) Overdose: For example, Anpanman contains acetaminophen, if the baby has a fever and happens to eat a fever reducer that also contains acetaminophen, it will be overdosed, which is very easy to make the baby have adverse reactions.
(2) Allergy to drug ingredients: In the case of unknown drug ingredients, the medicine may contain the baby's allergenic ingredients.

2. Without a doctor's consultation, taking the wrong medicine, not treating the disease will kill you
Especially like some cold syrup and cough syrup, many parents are hoarding, and the baby will arrange the medicine as soon as he has "similar" symptoms.
But you have to think about two questions: Is your baby really suffering from a cold (or what do you think he is sick)?
Without a doctor's diagnosis, self-medication is no longer advisable, let alone using uncertain overseas medicines, which is simply pushing the child into the fire pit!

3. The purchase channel is unreliable, and you may be poisoned if you eat fake medicines
Not to mention those who go abroad to buy on their own or buy on behalf of relatives and friends, the main thing I want to remind here is that parents who are looking for a purchase on their behalf.
Their purchase channels are not sure to be safe and reliable, and they are likely to buy counterfeit drugs, let alone what ingredients they contain.
Not to mention that the baby's illness cannot be cured, there are also risks such as poisoning.
4.国内有同等效用的替代用药,海淘药钱多不实用
Many parents have come all the way to buy imported drugs, but in fact, they can buy drugs with the same effect in our country.
And the price is very friendly, so why bother?

Having said all this, parents should know how deep the water is in the sea for medicine, right?
This is not enough! The following science and technology university will dig a few more popular overseas medicines, maybe you have them in your medicine cabinet!

Experts remind: These five kinds of sea shopping drugs should be thrown away!
Internet celebrities, sea shopping for medicine, Anpanman, White Rabbit painkillers, etc., have been frequently exposed!

For this reason, the University of Science and Technology worked overtime at night and hurriedly rushed out of the "Black List of Overseas Shopping Drugs", and Bao's parents quickly checked it!

It is claimed to be the only cough medicine in the United States that can be bought without a prescription.
But the ingredients are not "simple", containing dextromethorphan, excessive use may inhibit the baby's breathing, quite dangerous!
The picture comes from the Internet
And the official website also clearly writes that babies under the age of 4 cannot use it!

The so-called "three horses", that is, the nutrient solution (vitamin C), the first defense solution and the purple daisy drops! Under the guise of fighting colds, hiding the lining of health care products, and unbridled "swagger and deception"!
In particular, it is noted that the colloidal silver in the first defense solution has not been approved for use as a drug for the treatment of diseases due to safety and efficacy issues.
As for the other two, they have no practical therapeutic significance!

Anpanman captivates parents and babies with its "cartoon" appearance and sweet taste.
But a closer look reveals that it contains 3 dangerous ingredients:
(1) It is a compound cold medicine, not recommended for babies under 2 years old!
(2) Ephedrine: It is a neurostimulant!
(3) Dextromethorphan: Like Delsym, there is a risk of choking when overdosed!

It is also important to note that the old version of "Little Blue" contains codeine, which can become addictive if you take too much!

In the mainland, it has been expressly forbidden to give minors cold medicine containing codeine!
The main ingredient of this "American Cool Oil" contains comfrey leaves, which are mainly used to treat eczema, red buttocks, insect bites, burns, etc.
However, the U.S. FDA has issued a warning that oral administration of comfrey may damage the liver, requiring products such as comfrey cream not to be used externally on wounds with broken skin.
Pregnant mothers, infants, babies and patients with liver insufficiency should be used with caution!

According to the pediatrician of the University of Science and Technology, whether it is the "miracle drug" of fever reduction in Australia or the Nurofen fever reduction juice in Germany, the drug ingredients are no different from ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the mainland.
Why do you have to go around in a big circle, is it because it looks more "international"?
Of course, you can't beat the sea to death with a stick, if you want to choose, recognize these two points:

Children's medication guidelines, must be kept in mind!
Babies are in a critical period of growth and development, although the metabolism is fast, but the development of liver function is not perfect, and they are even more sensitive to drugs!
So, it's super important to take the right medicine and take the right medicine for the baby!

Don't try to "save trouble", give the baby "half the amount of adult medicine", you must identify special drugs and dosage forms for children, in order to reduce the baby's adverse reactions, and prescribe the right medicine!
Image source: Science Family Parenting Original
The instructions should not only be read, but also read word by word, paying special attention to the dosage, adverse reactions and medication methods!

If you don't repeat the medication, if you have taken medicine A that contains 1 ingredient, you will not take other medicine that contains 1 ingredient!

Every time you give your baby medicine, you must receive it in time! Otherwise, it will be dangerous for the baby to overturn and eat it by mistake!
Finally, I will give you a small tip, if you find any of the following situations in the drug, immediately "drive" it out of the medicine box!
