[b] Shun Internet news [/b] recently, the State Administration of drug administration of "sibutramine" bright red light, containing more than a dozen kinds of weight loss drugs have been ordered to withdraw the market. The reason is that it will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and death.
yesterday, a number of experts in Ji'nan said that for some drugs that were effective but with serious adverse reactions, they could only be reluctant to part with them. Sibutramine's delisting is a process like this.
[b] range: covering most of the well-known weight loss drugs [/b]
the national food and Drug Administration (State Food and Drug Administration) officially declared the day before, that "sibutramine" may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular disease. The risk of weight loss treatment is greater than that of benefit, and it decides to stop the production, sale and making of the "sibutramine" preparation and the drug in our country. The drugs sold and sold will be recalled and destroyed by the production enterprises.
this means that the drug, such as Qu Mei, Qu Ting, Australian koji light, Xiu Xiu and Seth Mei, will stop selling, which basically covers most of the well-known weight loss drugs on the market.
[b] reason: the experiment proved to increase the risk of death [/b]
with the 10 year old weight loss drug in the big cities delisting, leading to the "chief" of the event, sibutramine, entered the public view.
yesterday, Xu Zhizhou, director of the Department of chemical medicine, Shandong Provincial Institute of drug control, described it with "disaster".
since the beginning of the 90s last century, sibutramine has been scold - - it can inhibit appetite, but may increase the risk of cardiovascular events. Therefore, this kind of weight loss medicine has been controversial and even sold well. During the period, sibutramine was banned in Germany, the United States and Italy.
a large test data in recent Europe shows that after more than 3 years of trials, the "profit" obtained after taking is very small - the average weight loss of 3 years is only about 2.7 kilograms; and the "disadvantage" is very large - the death and cardiovascular events have risen by about 16%. The disadvantages far outweigh the benefits, so this time, the State Administration of pharmacy and Drug Administration withdrew from the US FDA.
[b] hazards: hair loss, chest tightness, and heartbeat faster [/b]
before the release of the ban, medical experts in Ji'nan have called for the destruction of sibutramine. Because the hospital clinic does have a patient who eats such drugs in hospital.
- - sad. Ji'nan Fifth People's Hospital Department of cardiology ward, last year, had been admitted to two female college students, because they took the online order "Qu Mei" weight loss medicine and chest tightness, heart rate, to be admitted to the hospital.
- - manic. Bai Ludong, director of the three ward of the mental health center of Shandong Province, said that the outpatient recently came to 3 patients because of the mental problems of eating weight loss drugs. "There is a tall girl who has been gushing all the time, and the expression is also exaggerated, and a moment will cry for a moment." He said girls have mental disorders in a manic state. Mom and Dad, a professor of pharmacy at Shandong University examined the ingredients of slimming pills - sibutramine.
- drop hair. Wang Wenhui, director of Department of Endocrinology, Ji'nan Central Hospital, said that the children were taking diet pills at home during the summer vacation. Although her medicine thin down a lot, but at the same time hair, and out badly, so now she had to wear a wig.
[b] problem: "seal killing order" difficult to ban weight loss drug [/b]
the national one paper ban, looks like sibutramine "seal", but there are still a lot of channels can be easily bought.
A. drugstores hard to find Taobao still hot selling
because there are Gong Li, Fan Bingbing and other celebrity endorsement, before, "Qu Mei" and other weight loss drugs in the market in Ji'nan widely sold.
yesterday, reporters in Ji'nan City pharmacy investigation found that the diet containing sibutramine has disappeared.
however, the developed network has become one of the ways to sell prohibited drugs. Reporters found that several kinds of drug slimming banned in pharmacies are still selling well on Taobao online. Moreover, most drugs are cheap and large in volume. "
B. lurking health products hurt people more
" in fact, it is more worrying that some bad manufacturers add sibutramine into some health care products and nutritious food, only emphasizing the effect of losing weight, not indicating the risk. " Guan Bo, deputy director of Department of Endocrinology, provincial hospital, pointed out that in some weight loss drugs such as health products and food, it is also common to find out the cases of sibutramine.
C. takes a small ticket or a hot line to return
in addition to the ban, how to return is the most concerned problem. In this regard, Ms. Zhang of the news center of Taichi group (Qumei manufacturer) said the company has set up return points in major retail drugstores, including Ji'nan, such as the complete packaging of products, and consumers can return the goods directly to the drugstore by shopping small tickets.
if lost or lost, consumers can call a hotline (4008877698) to return the goods. The general return time will be completed within a working day. If the citizen is located far away, the return time will be extended.
[b] response: early knowledge of the harmful, why now the withdrawal of [/b]
related injunctions have also triggered the thinking of Internet users, but also raised the question of the new ban.
yesterday, "Tencent net" has criticized netizens on the message board of the news commentary. Although the diet pills hurt human health, the pharmaceutical factory has been making money. About 1 years ago, domestic medical research reported that the sibutramine diet drug, which has been sold for more than 10 years on the market, could increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
some netizens say, why not make this drug clear and approve it to go on the market?
Xu Zhizhou said that the most reliable way for every drug safety assessment is to conduct tests on people. However, because of the unpredictable risks, we can not let a large number of people be tested. They can only follow the number of people from less to more, and the duration of medication is short to long. "Diseases are harmful, and side effects of drugs are also harmful. We must give up the bigger ones." For some drugs that are effective but have serious adverse reactions, they can only be reluctant to part with them. The withdrawal of sibutramine is such a process. "
suggestion: still pay more attention to diet and exercise
but some women also know the loss of weight loss drugs to the heart and liver and kidney damage, but because there is no way to adhere to good eating habits, and no perseverance to exercise, weight loss drugs become the first choice to get out of the plight of the obese people.
especially among the Jinan people nowadays, the obesity team is expanding day by day. Chen Liyong, director of the Nutrition Department of the provincial hospital, suggested that patients currently being treated with sibutramine should consult with their doctors about alternative medicines. "But in fact, many people do not need to take drugs to lose weight, because about 90% of the obese are simple obesity and can be improved by changing their habits." Chen Liyong said.
obesity is harmful and human resistance to obesity continues. The medical community generally believes that up to now, no drug has been found in the world that can effectively reduce weight and have no adverse reactions to the body. Therefore, if you want to lose weight and lose weight just for the sake of beauty, diet control and physical exercise are the safest way.
