Discussion on the effects of acupuncture-medication combination
This article summarizes and discusses the collaborative effects of acupuncture and medication in treatment
including four aspects
named "acupuncture synergizing the effects of medication"
"medication advancing the effects of acupuncture"
"coordination of acupuncture and medication"
and "antagonism of acupuncture and medication". Regarding "acupuncture synergizing the effects of medication"
the actions of acupuncture are predominant
which affects the absorption and metabolism of drugs in the body
increases drug concentration in blood
enhances the targeting effect of drugs
guides meridian tropism
alleviates the drug dose and adverse reactions
avoids the first pass effect and accelerates the drug bioavailability. As for "medication advancing the effects of acupuncture"
the synergistic effect of acupuncture is obtained by medication
besides
the medication itself may supplement the drug property to the needles during acupuncture pretreatment so as to increase the therapeutic effect. In terms of "coordination of acupuncture and medication"
and "antagonism of acupuncture and medication"
there are the underlying co-effects of acupuncture and medication in the body
and the action targets may be same or different between them
