Izithako eziningi ezivamile zamakhambi, okuhlanganisa itiye eliluhlaza kanye ne-ginkgo biloba, zingase zihlangane nemithi kadokotela, ngokusho kokubuyekezwa okusha kocwaningo okushicilelwe kuyi-British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. Lokhu kusebenzisana kungenza umuthi ungasebenzi kahle futhi kungaba yingozi noma kube yingozi.
Odokotela bayazi ukuthi amakhambi angathonya izindlela zokwelapha, abacwaningi abavela kwi-Medical Research Council of South Africa babhala ephepheni elisha. Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi abantu ngokuvamile ababatsheli abahlinzeki babo bezempilo ukuthi yimiphi imithi nezithasiselo abazithatha ngaphandle kwemithi kadokotela, kube nzima kososayensi ukulandelela ukuthi yimiphi imithi nezithasiselo okufanele bazigweme.
Ukubuyekezwa okusha kuhlaziye imibiko engu-49 yokusabela okubi kwemithi kanye nezifundo ezimbili zokuhlola. Iningi labantu abakuhlaziyiwe belashelwa isifo senhliziyo, umdlavuza, noma ukufakelwa izinso futhi babethatha i-warfarin, ama-statin, imithi yamakhemikhali, noma imithi yokucindezela amasosha omzimba. Abanye babenokucindezeleka, ukukhathazeka, noma isifo sezinzwa futhi belashwa ngemithi yokucindezeleka, imithi yokwelapha ingqondo, noma imithi yokuvimbela ukuxhuzula.
Kusukela kule mibiko, abacwaningi bathole ukuthi ukusebenzisana kwemithi yamakhambi “kungenzeka” ku-51% wemibiko kanye “kungenzeka kakhulu” ku-8% wemibiko. Cishe u-37% wahlukaniswa njengokusebenzisana kwemithi yamakhambi okungenzeka, kanti u-4% kuphela owabhekwa njengosolisayo.
Komunye umbiko wecala, isiguli esithatha ama-statin sakhala ngokuqaqamba okukhulu kwemilenze kanye nobuhlungu ngemuva kokuphuza izinkomishi ezintathu zetiye eliluhlaza ngosuku, okuwumphumela ovamile wecala. Abacwaningi babhale ukuthi lokhu kusabela kwakubangelwa umphumela wetiye eliluhlaza emazingeni egazi ama-statin, yize bethi kudingeka ucwaningo olwengeziwe ukuze kunqunywe ezinye izimbangela ezingaba khona.
Komunye umbiko, isiguli sashona ngemuva kokuba nesithuthwane ngesikhathi sibhukuda, naphezu kokuthatha imithi yokwelapha lesi simo njalo. Kodwa-ke, ukuhlolwa kwesidumbu sakhe kwembula ukuthi amazinga ale mithi egazini ayenciphile, mhlawumbe ngenxa yezithako ze-ginkgo biloba ayezithatha njalo, okwathinta ukusebenza kwazo.
Ukuthatha izithasiselo zamakhambi kuye kwahlotshaniswa nezimpawu eziya ziba zimbi zokucindezeleka kubantu abathatha imithi yokucindezeleka, kanye nokwenqatshwa kwezitho zomzimba kubantu abaye bafakelwa izinso, inhliziyo, noma isibindi, kubhala abalobi kulesi sihloko. Kwabaguli abanomdlavuza, imithi yamakhemikhali ikhonjisiwe ukuthi isebenzisana nezithasiselo zamakhambi, okuhlanganisa i-ginseng, i-echinacea, kanye nejusi le-chokeberry.
Ukuhlaziywa kuphinde kwabonisa ukuthi iziguli ezithatha i-warfarin, umuthi wokunciphisa igazi, zibike “ukuxhumana okubalulekile emtholampilo.” Abacwaningi bacabanga ukuthi la makhambi angaphazamisa ukusebenza kwe-warfarin, ngaleyo ndlela anciphise amandla ayo okuvimbela ukugayeka kwegazi noma abangele ukopha.
Abalobi bathi kudingeka izifundo ezengeziwe zelebhu kanye nokuqaphela okuseduze kubantu bangempela ukuze kunikezwe ubufakazi obuqinile bokusebenzisana phakathi kwamakhambi athile nemithi. “Le ndlela izokwazisa iziphathimandla ezilawula izidakamizwa kanye nezinkampani zemithi ukuthi zibuyekeze ulwazi lwelebula ngokusekelwe kudatha etholakalayo ukuze zigweme imiphumela emibi,” babhala.
Uphinde akhumbuze iziguli ukuthi kufanele zihlale zitshela odokotela bazo kanye nosokhemisi nganoma yimiphi imithi noma izithasiselo abazithathayo (ngisho nemikhiqizo ethengiswa njengeyemvelo noma yezitshalo), ikakhulukazi uma zinikezwe umuthi omusha.
