Speaking of which, modern people seem to pay more and more attention to health and health. Various "Internet celebrity" health products and "Internet celebrity" medicines are particularly popular, and many people also "recommended" the medicines they took on the Internet.
An An (pseudonym), 23 years old this year, has always attached great importance to health, but the attention here requires quotes . Her family has many "Internet celebrity" health products and medicines, but she almost went crazy after taking them, and even had her life in danger.
What's going on?

woke up and the 23-year-old girl was "crazy"
"Next time I can't eat like this again. If you have any problems, come to the hospital to find a professional doctor." The 23-year-old girl An An was discharged from the emergency rescue room of Zhijiang Campus, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Dr. Ke Weifeng of the Emergency Department repeatedly reminded her, and An An nodded desperately: "I will definitely not eat anymore. My father will throw away everything at home."
Time went back to the morning of the previous day, at 6 o'clock in the morning, An An's mother was making breakfast at home. Suddenly she heard screams from An'an's room. The mother was shocked and hurried to her daughter's room.
"I just saw her eyes closed, and there was a bottle of ice black tea at the head of the bed, all of which were knocked over on the bed. Her face was pale and her lips were purple. She screamed from time to time. I called her and patted her hard, but she didn't react at all." An An's mother told us. She quickly called Uncle An An who lived next door. Her uncle couldn't wake An An, so they quickly called 120.
"I know my daughter likes to buy health products, medicines, etc. online. She also recommended it to me. I saw some pills scattered on the head of her bed, so she also wrapped them together." An An's mother said. The 120 ambulance carried An An and her mother all the way to Zhijiang Campus, Zhejiang University First Hospital.
In the emergency department of Zhijiang Campus, the medical team quickly improved various examinations for Anan while providing symptomatic treatment for Anan. The PH value of in the blood was 7.21 (normal value is 7.35-7.45), the lactic acid value was 11.9mmol/L (normal value is 0.5-1.7mmol/L), the alkali residual value was -18.4mmol/L (normal value is -3.0-3.0mmol/L), and the potassium content was 2.3mmol/L (normal value is 3.5-5.5mmol/L) - these mean that Anan is in a state of severe acidosis combined with electrolyte disorder. At the same time, shortly after An An arrived at the hospital, he began to have severe diarrhea and drew out watery stools.
Under the treatment measures such as rehydration of fluids and correction of internal environmental disorders by the expert team, An An gradually woke up at around 9 am.
turned out to be taken "Internet celebrity medicine" and almost in danger of life
By viewing the medicines brought by An An's mother, coupled with An's oral narration and screenshots of the medicines on his mobile phone, the expert team was sad to find that this was another tragedy that almost caused by "taking drugs blindly".
It turns out that An'an has always attached great importance to health and has purchased various health products online all year round. She is 162 cm tall and weighs 85 catties and is already very thin, but she still feels a little "edema".
"Actually, I don't understand what edema means, I just feel that I'm very light in weight, but I'm still fat in the past." An An said. So she searched online and finally got a look at a foreign "diuretic pill" recommended by many video bloggers.
This "diuretic pill" can be easily purchased online. The introduction says "diuretic edema leg slimming face slimming away eyes swelling" and other effects, which can make the whole body lighter. An An bought a lot and went home, and according to the instructions, he ate two pills a night. "I did have a lot of urine, but I didn't seem to lose weight. I took it for more than a month and didn't feel uncomfortable," said An An.
Just the day before An An’s accident, she accidentally chatted with her colleagues and said that she was prone to constipation now and felt that her body would accumulate "toxins". So her colleague recommended a small pink pill made in Japan to her, saying that the laxative effect was very good. Through querying on the shopping platform, this medicine indicated that it can relieve constipation and relieve gastrointestinal discomfort. The monthly sales volume is very large and it is also a "Internet celebrity product".
An An asked his colleagues for some and said he wanted some to try it. That night, she took 2 diuretic pills as usual and 2 more laxative pills."At around 3 a.m., I woke up by urine and got up to go to the toilet. But afterwards, I didn't know anything until I woke up in the hospital."
After further examination and elimination of the relevant causes, emergency experts speculated that An An had been taking diuretics for more than a month. He took 2 more laxative pills on the night before the onset of the disease. Diuretics and diarrhea were superimposed, and the water in the body was lost in a large amount of time through urine and feces, which caused An An to be in a state of severe dehydration, disordered internal environment, and severe acidosis. All organs in the human body must be under normal pH to work normally. Abnormal pH not only affects the functions of various organs in An'an, but also affects brain cells, causing delirium such as screams and confusion in consciousness.
Various Internet celebrity drugs are very famous before use, be cautious and cautious
"Fortunately, An An lives with her mother. If she lives alone and is not discovered in time, this severe pH imbalance and electrolyte disorder will develop further and rapidly, and will soon cause multiple organ failure and life-threatening danger, which would be a pity." said Li Tong, deputy chief physician, director of the emergency department of Zhijiang Campus.
We searched on major shopping platforms and saw that there are many "Internet celebrity" health products and medicines. In the recommendation, we can see that they have very attractive effects, but we have mentioned many times in popular science that some people have taken Internet celebrity health products and caused kidney failure, some people have taken Internet celebrity antidiabetic drugs, and diabetes has become ketoacidosis , and some people have taken Internet celebrity medicines and caused serious damage to their liver function.
Zhejiang University First Hospital experts remind that first of all, it is clear that health products have no therapeutic effects, and at most they are auxiliary functions. Patients with related diseases must go to the hospital for treatment and seek professional help. Even if they want to take health products, they must be used under the guidance of a doctor; and those so-called "Internet celebrity drugs" should be even more vigilant. The instructions for regular drugs will indicate contraindications, possible side effects, contraindications, etc., so whether you can take this medicine must be consulted at the hospital.
