Do I need to take Benambax for injection for a long time
Benambax for injection is usually not recommended for long-term use, and its course of treatment is designed with the goal of pathogen clearance, which needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the type of infection, immune status, and treatment response. The following provides specific explanations from three aspects: course characteristics, long-term use risks, and handling of special circumstances.
1 Course Characteristics
(1) Acute infection treatment: The standard course of treatment for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia is 21-28 days, and the course of treatment for black fever is 10-20 days, both of which are short-term intensive treatments.
(2) Maintenance therapy for HIV patients: Administer once a week to prevent recurrence only when CD4<200 cells/μ L and TMP-SMX cannot be received.
2. Long term use risks
(1) Pancreatic toxicity: When continuous medication exceeds 30 days, the incidence of acute pancreatitis increases to 12%, and mandatory monitoring of serum amylase is required.
(2) Bone marrow suppression: Long term use can lead to irreversible neutropenia, and it is recommended that the treatment period not exceed 6 weeks.
3. Handling of special circumstances
(1) Drug resistant cases: When the protozoan microscopy test continues to be positive, it is necessary to combine with clindamycin instead of simply extending the course of treatment with piperidine.
(2) Immune Reconstitution Syndrome: When lesions worsen after ART treatment, short-term additional doses of 3-5 days are sufficient.
