From fitness to various weight loss foods and medicines, girls who love beauty spare no effort in order to lose weight. However, these weight loss foods and medicines cannot be eaten casually, let alone let children eat them. accidentally ate adult "weight loss pills" once, becoming a deadly poison for children.

27-year-old Ms. Fang, a 27-year-old in Jiangmen, Guangdong, has been worried about her weight until she saw the "fat-burning chocolate" sold by the WeChat business in the circle of friends, and felt hope suddenly.

"Eat it casually and you won't get fat after using it." "Don't eat it and lose 15 kilograms per month"... Looking at the seductive slogan, Ms. Fang quickly bought a box and tried it. She took it according to the dosage of 1/3 of her pills a day. After taking it, she sweated, palpitations, thirsty, and even became excited until she couldn't sleep at night.

2 days later, Ms. Fang didn't dare to eat it anymore. The remaining 4 "fat-burning chocolates" were placed in the cabinet. happened to be seen by her 7-year-old daughter Yingying and stolen 2 pieces.

I didn’t expect that these two “chocolates” were the mistake. After the child accidentally took an ingestion, he soon developed palpitations and discomfort. Ms. Fang realized something was wrong and quickly sent her daughter to a local hospital for vomiting treatment. Later, Yingying was in danger of coma and convulsions and was transferred to Jiangmen Central Hospital overnight for emergency treatment.

In the ward, the scene in front of me was surprising: a young girl who was usually well-behaved and obedient at this time showed delirium and mania, screaming and crying for a while, and was unconscious and pale. The situation was urgent, and the doctor immediately responded to it, but the situation did not improve significantly. Conventional treatment seemed to have no effect on Yingying.

The family members became more and more anxious. The medical staff carefully asked about the illness when they were on the condition. They learned that the "weight loss pill" that Yingying accidentally ate was "fat-burning chocolate". So a familiar name - "Sibutramine" flashed through their minds. In order to further verify the speculative results, the doctor took blood samples from the patient and sent them to a professional poison testing center for testing.

Although sibutramine has a certain weight loss effect, the side effects are great . In the past two years, news of accidental ingestion has been frequent. A 2-year-old girl died by mistake by taking weight loss pills, and the cibutramine component was detected in her body.

CCTV News once reported that Tingting, a 2-year-old from Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, stole a few tablets of "chocolate" that her mother lost weight. She was taken into the rescue room that afternoon, but in the end she died after she failed to rescue her.

Xuzhou Children's Hospital gave Tingting's death diagnosis: sibutramine poisoning, myocardial damage, respiratory and heart failure. After the tragedy, Tingting's family reported the case to the local public security organs, and the local police set up a special task force. Later, after police inspection and identification, the corpus of cibutramine of Tingting's liver, heart blood, urine, venous blood, gastric lavage, gastric content and vomiting stains were detected.

What exactly is "Sibutramine"?

"Sibutramine" was first used to treat depression . It mainly acts on central nervous system . plays a role in suppressing appetite and increasing satiety. At the same time, it can reduce energy storage in the body, and the weight loss effect is obvious.

study confirmed that sibutramine will increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases . Its adverse reactions include headache, dry mouth , anorexia, insomnia, constipation, hypertension , dizziness, etc., and can also cause nerve disorders, systemic damage, gastrointestinal system damage, central and peripheral nervous system damage, and even produce other serious consequences.

my country had banned

Sales and uses sibutramine

As early as 2010, the State Food and Drug Administration explicitly prohibited the production, sale and use of sibutramine preparations and raw materials; In the same year, sibutramine was included in the "List of Materials that May Illegal Addition in Health Foods (First Batch)" and was recognized as "toxic and harmful non-food raw materials."

Even though sibutramine has been explicitly banned in my country, some criminals still packaged it into imported weight loss drugs, candies, chocolates, etc. in order to make huge profits, they sell it online, completely ignoring the serious adverse reactions caused by taking sibutramine.

experts remind that now there are endless packaging drugs for "Internet celebrity medicines" on the market, and the ingredients are complex, so citizens should purchase them from regular channels. At the same time, children are curious and parents should keep the medicine properly to avoid touching the children. If you find that the child is accidentally eaten, you should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
