2022-08-11

Recently, some netizens said that a kind of injections to lose weight was popular on friends and social platforms. Some people said that "I lost 20 jin after six injections" and others said that "I lost 10 Jin in seven days". The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily learned that this kind of injection is actually a prescription drug for treating diabetes. Phenomenon: it is said that there are "miraculous effects" on weight loss. Even if the blood sugar is not high, the drug can be used "for three months, I lost nearly 10 jin." Xiaoying (not her real name) is a patient with diabetes. She is not announcing the effect of weight loss, but introducing the changes in her weight after injection of GLP-1 receptor agonist to the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily. "At the first injection, the reaction was particularly strong. Sometimes I couldn't eat and didn't want to eat. Once I ate it hard, I would vomit, and gradually my appetite became smaller. Because this medicine is a prescription medicine, it must be prescribed after the doctor's diagnosis and can be purchased and used under the guidance of the doctor. The hospital I visited said that this medicine was out of stock, because it was taken once a week, and now I can only temporarily stop taking it and wait for the goods to be purchased." Xiaoying said. Yuanyuan (not her real name), who also uses similar drugs, has another purpose - to lose weight. Her height of 168 cm and weight of 130 Jin are not perfect in her opinion. Yuanyuan's goal for her weight is to reach 108 Jin. "It's said that many people have taken this injection recently, which can directly suppress their appetite, not hungry every day, and have small side effects. Although it is a prescription drug, it can be bought online at any time, and the requirements are not so strict." The survey shows that prescription injections with prices ranging from 300 to 3000 yuan can be purchased online without a prescription. Can you also buy them online? The reporter of Beiqing daily found that there were more than 4000 results of GLP-1 receptor agonist products after searching on the online shopping platform. From the perspective of category, it is divided into two doses of 1.5 mg and 3 mg per injection. According to the packaging of standard packaging, 3 boxes and 5 boxes, the price ranges from 300 to 3000 yuan. Some stores have a monthly sales volume of more than 200 orders, but because of the need for cold chain transportation, some merchants set the freight as high as 180 yuan. When the reporter of the Beijing Youth Daily asked the customer service whether such drugs could be used for weight loss, many businesses directly replied "yes", while some said "not recommended". The reporter of Beiqing daily noticed that the purchase page cannot directly place an order for purchase. The first step is to fill in the consultation information including name, ID card, mobile phone number, confirmed disease and prescription. The customer service explained that because it was a prescription drug, the system required to submit any one of the prescription, case and inspection report before placing an order. However, for buyers who want to buy drugs without a prescription, a customer service revealed: "you can leave your contact information for telephone communication. After private transfer, the merchants can directly deliver goods, which can avoid the review of the online shopping platform system." Experts have not been approved by the state for weight loss. Doctors do not recommend using such drugs to reduce weight. On the social platform, some people count that they lost about 4 Jin in 12 days and 10 Jin in 27 days. However, side effects such as vomiting, nausea and constipation are associated with weight loss. It is understood that these injections, as prescription drugs, can only be used after being prescribed by doctors with the right to prescribe in medical institutions. In this regard, a chief physician of the Endocrinology Department reported to the North Youth Daily
