The latest batch of drug approval documents released by the National Drug Administration of China last Friday (January 26) showed that the oral version of the hypoglycemic pharmaceutical Division Division Meridot was approved for listing, and the use was to treat type 2 diabetes.

Smeglugin peptide injection entered the Chinese market in 2021. Although it has not been approved for weight loss indications, it has been popular as a weight loss god medicine in specific circles.
A sales expert told science and technology media 36 氪 that 60%of the drug flows to those in the Smegugu peptide market in China, only 40%are used in diabetic patients, which leads to Samegugu peptide often sellInsurance, diabetic patients are available without medicine.

ordinary people step on the pit
In June last year, Smegugu peptide applied for the listing of weight loss indications to be accepted by the China Pharmaceutical Supervision Bureau.Although it has not been approved, the news was added to the social platform to add fuel and vinegar on the social platform, and the previous high net worth individuals with goods. This expensive way of weight loss has also begun to break the circle among ordinary people.
The attitude of taking care of the body and spending over the cold in the cold winter, ordinary people are more hoped on the weight loss effect of Smegugu peptide.
A patient with high insulinmia told the First Finance that he was in a patient's group, but almost half of the group only wanted to lose weight and buy medicine through real patients instead of being really sick.The patient said: "Most of these people in the group are young people, and some are girls who are pursuing 'slim'."
/>
The patient revealed that he had provided a girl with a needle "Nuo He Thai"."After that girl took a shot, the weight dropped directly from 110 pounds to 100 pounds, resulting in amenorrhea." Nuohe Thai is the product name of the injection of Someguptide.
As the saying goes, "it is three -point poisonous medicine", the side effects of Smeglugin -nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and abdominal pain are common, and some people say that they feel emotional after medication.These side effects brought greater risks when they are informal channels and no doctor guidance.
Another case reported by Caixin Weekly is a woman with severe depression and anxiety.She used emotional fluctuations after half a year after Smeglugin, and the doctor suggested that the medicine immediately stopped, but she was unwilling to stop.After adjusting the dose under the guidance of the doctor, the symptoms of depression improved and the effect of weight loss.If you use the medicine yourself, the risk is unimaginable.
AnotherThe side effect is a rebound.Alyssa DomingQuez, an endocrinologist at the University of Southern California, told Caixin that the drug is valid for patients to continue to increase after stopping the drug.
But a "medicine selling medicine" who was unannounced in the Beijing Evening News promised to the customer that it would customize the injection plan according to his height and height and "guarantee not to rebound."
Another ox reported by the report said when guiding the injection, "Don't be afraid, just like a mosquito, it doesn't hurt very much. You can pinch your skin and tilt 45 degrees., Inject it to the muscle layer "
Some netizens commented, so they guided the needle on the Internet at will, it can't help but shudder.Some people have questioned whether the propaganda and goods of oxen will be easier after the oral medication is listed?At the same time, the posts shared by the drug on social networking sites still have many people asking how and where to buy.
Indeed, from the increase in health risks brought by the increase in the number of obesity in China, or from the body anxiety brought about by social aesthetics, it is natural for the market to have demand for weight loss drugs.However, in the case of obtaining drugs outside the formal channels and lack of doctor guidance, with the endorsement of the "rich man love", the wind and the wind and the prescription drugs are sold as a weight loss medicine.Essence
