COVID-19 and Marfan/VEDS/LDS: Your Questions Answered

Now in terms of the medications to take, I think over-the-counter medications are fairly safe except for the decongestants that have sudafed or pseudoephedrine-related components. Those can often increase your blood pressure and if you have a risk of aortic disease, that's not a medication class that you would necessarily want to use and so I would talk it over with your pharmacist when you're choosing over-the-counter medications or if you need something that's much stronger, I would discuss that with your primary care doctor but it is concerning with some of the decongestants that they have these pseudoephedrine like elements that can cause an escalation in the blood pressure.
薬について説明します。一般的に薬局で買うことのできる薬の大部分は安全ですが、プソイドエフェドリンを含むような鼻炎薬の多くは血圧を上げる作用があるので、大動脈疾患のリスクがある場合には避けた方がいいでしょう。患者さんがそのような市販薬を選ぶような場合、私であれば薬剤師に確認するでしょうし、より強力な作用のある薬が必要であれば、患者さんのかかりつけ医に相談します。プソイドエフェドリンを含有する鼻詰まりの薬には血圧上昇の作用があるということは覚えておいてください。
We have the next slide.
では次のスライドに移ります。
But Enid, an antihistamines, for example, would be fine? Can you talk about some cold remedies?
ちょっと待って下さい。Enid先生、抗ヒスタミン系の薬は問題ありませんか？説明していただけますか？
Yeah, exactly so the under the over-the-counter antihistamines and I include medications like Claritin under that category are perfectly acceptable except for the fact that they can cause some sedating effects but as long as they don't have that D on the end of the name, then you don't really have to be worried as to whether they have a sudafed or sudafed-like component.
そうですね。市販されているClaritinなどの抗ヒスタミン薬は問題ありません。ただし、鎮静作用を持つものもありますので注意は必要ですが、薬の名前の後ろに「D」がついていないのであれば、プソイドエフェドリン系かどうかの心配は不要です。
So, Claritin-D does have a sudafed or sudafed-like component as does Allegra-D, so that's what you should be concerned about but a garden-variety antihistamine should be fine.
Claritin-DはAllegra-Dと同様、プソイドエフェドリン系の薬ですから注意が必要ですが、大抵の抗ヒスタミン薬は問題ありません。
And there there are some cold medications that are actually marketed for people with high blood pressure or heart disease and that should be something comforting. If you see on the label that it says that a cold medication was made for someone with heart disease that is evidence that it doesn't have a decongestant in it, that will stimulate the heart so that's a that's a good sign to look for when you're at the drugstore.
高血圧や心臓病の方向けの市販のかぜ薬もあります。説明書きにそうした表記があれば、心臓を刺激する鼻炎薬が含まれていないことになりますので、薬局で購入する場合は参考にしてください。
