腦科疾病病者易服藥過量

 

 

 

 

服食過量防止抽筋藥物，病人輕則身體疲累，神志迷糊，嚴重者更會抑制呼吸，陷入昏迷，甚至死亡。腦外科專科醫生指出，因腦科疾病而神志不清的病人，即使服過量藥物導致不適，亦不懂得向醫護人員反映，令到事件遲遲未被揭發，對病人造成更深的傷害。

腦外科專科醫生藍明權指出，「苯巴比妥」是防止抽筋藥物，患有癲癇症、或因腦瘤、腦部血管異常、腦創傷、中風等腦部疾病，而導致間歇性抽筋的病人，均需要長期服用防止抽筋藥物。兒童一般每次服用劑量為三十毫克；成人每次服用二百毫克已屬高劑量。

藍明權解釋，由於不知道病人原本需要服用的劑量是多少，因此難以判斷她超標服用了多少劑量藥物。不過就一般情況而言，劑量愈高，副作用便愈大。由於「苯巴比妥」有鎮靜作用，若果病人被過分鎮靜，會出現疲累、神志不清、呼吸困難等副作用，最嚴重會抑制呼吸，甚至引致死亡。
