"Loss needle" popular

Many people are eager to try

For the first time, Xu Ting (pseudonym) heard that there was a so -called "weight loss needle" on the Internet sharing platform. "One needle is lost 10 pounds" and "20 pounds in half a month". She weighed 90kg. She was excited. Recently, she went to the endocrinology department of a three hospitals in Nanjing to take the initiative to ask if there was a Smegugu peptide injection. After the examination, the doctor found that she had obesity related complications such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver and other obesity. Taboo, after giving the corresponding dietary exercise guidance, the doctor gave her the medicine.

The injection experience shared by netizens

Judging the degree of fatness and health of the human body, the body quality index (BMI) is an indicator that cannot be ignored. It combines two factors of height and weight. BMI = weight (kg) ➗ ➗ ➗ (m) square meters, such as 172cm height, weight weight, weight weight 70kg, then BMI = 70 1.72➗1.72 = 23.7kg/m2. In China, the normal weight standard is BMI18.5 -23.9 kg/m2, BMI <18.5 kg/m2 is weight loss, 24-27.9 kg/m2 is overweight, ≥28kg/m2 is obesity.

Xu Ting's BMI reached 33 kg/m2, which is a scope of obesity, and is accompanied by obese related complications such as type 2 diabetes. However, it is not only overweight or obese people. The reporter found in a large number of related notes posted by netizens on the Internet platform that a considerable part of the "weight loss needle" injection was not fat. For example: If you are 160cm tall and weigh 55kg, then BMI21.5 kg/m2 belongs to the normal range and is not used to adapt to the crowd.

The hypoglycemic drug is respected as "weight loss artifact"

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common adverse reactions

Feng Wenhuan, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, Nanjing Gulou Hospital, told reporters that there are two main types of "weight loss needles", one is the daily agent Lillalugin, and the other is the peripheral church peptide. Patient's hypoglycemic drugs, due to the weight loss effect, are used in patients who do not accompany diabetes, generally do not have hypoglycemia. Some countries abroad have been approved for obesity. There are no indications for obesity. Smegugu peptide is more convenient because it is injected once a week. It is now more circled. In China, it has carried out clinical research on obesity. It may be approved for obese weight loss treatment in the future.

"Being weight loss is mainly because such drugs can suppress appetite." Director Feng Wenhuan bluntly said. The reporter learned that human pancreatic hypotonin peptide 1 (GLP-1) was released from the intestine after meals, reducing hunger and increased satiety, but it was degraded in about 2 minutes. The above drugs were GLP- 1 The receptor agonist, which is adjusted through the molecular structure, is not easy to be degraded in the human body, which can better suppress appetite. "At the same time, this type of hypoglycemic drugs slow gastrointestinal exercise, and it also has a certain treatment effect on fatty liver."

In other words, the "weight loss needle" of the fire circle is actually a hypoglycemic drug for type 2 diabetes. According to public information, the common adverse reactions of Smeglugan peptides are gastrointestinal reactions, including satiety, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, stagnation, constipation, etc. These are basically mentioned in the notes shared by netizens. Most netizens report that there are obvious nausea, diarrhea, constipation and other symptoms after injection.

It is not advisable to blindly injection without medical treatment

Purely relying on injections to lose weight is actually easy to rebound

Smeglugin is a prescription medicine, which must be purchased and used by prescriptions. Liu Hao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, Nanjing First Hospital, said in an interview with reporters that these two drugs need to be used by doctors before they can be used, and they do not agree with everyone to buy it online. "We will strictly evaluate the patient's indicators before prescribing the medicine. In addition to BMI, we will also evaluate the patient's fat distribution."

Whether it is Llauugu or Smegugu, it is obviously inappropriate to understand the "weight loss needle". Director Feng Wenhuan revealed that in some hospitals, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2 and complicated complications related to obesity, such as "three highs", hyperuricemia, fatty liver, sleeping and respiratory syndrome Essence

"Before injection of the above drugs, we need to do strict evaluation. For example, we need to rule out obesity caused by secondary factor, and evaluate and treat obesity related complications that are also combined at the same time, such as patients with high blood pressure. The possibility of eliminating thyroid myelin -like cancer can be excluded through serum calcium lowering, and patients with a history of pancreatitis need to be used with caution. "Director Feng Wenhuan told reporters that the drug may increase the risk of gallstones. Before the examination, it needs to be discontinued for a period of time to avoid gastrointestinal examination due to the remaining food residues after the use of drugs.

In fact, it is unrealistic to expect a "weight loss needle" one step."The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Director Feng Wenhuan admits that he does not pay attention to changing bad life, overeating, laziness, and sitting for a long time. The weight is very easy to rebound through the "hypoglycemic medicine injection method"."Generally speaking, if you do not cooperate with changing your lifestyle, it is often only the first month, or the previous three months is better, and it will be difficult to continue to lose weight. The possibility of weight rebound is very high. ThereforeTimely have to pay attention to establishing a healthy diet and exercise habits, and for a long time, the drug only plays the effect of assisting weight loss.
