The main ingredient of Qumei is suspected to be a prescription drug but sold at will ■ Event replay Recently, David, an official of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Dr. Graham announced at the hearing of the US Senate Finance Committee that at least five drugs popular in the market had serious adverse reactions, and these drugs must be carefully examined to determine whether they should still be circulated in the market. The five drugs he mentioned are isotretinoin, an acne drug from Roche, sibutramine from Dingke Abbott, valdecoxib, a cholesterol-lowering drug from AstraZeneca, and salmeterol, an asthma drug from GlaxoSmithKline. Among them, sibutramine is also the core component of the weight-loss drug "Qumei". On February 9th, 65438, the Department of Health of the Hong Kong SAR Government ordered the recall of a slimming health product named "Bird's Nest Slimming Bao". A spokesman for the Department of Health said: The product was found to contain sibutramine. Drugs containing sibutramine can only be sold with a doctor's prescription. If people have already bought these products, they should stop taking them immediately. Qumei: the full name of sibutramine hydrochloride is SFDA approval number. Compared with the strangeness of this scientific name, Qumei, a diet drug, is more famous. On the website of Taiji Group about Qumei, the first sentence is: "The official name of Qumei is sibutramine hydrochloride capsule, and its main component is sibutramine hydrochloride, which is produced by Fuling Pharmaceutical Factory of Taiji Group. It is the first diet pill approved by the US FDA in the past 30 years and the first diet pill approved by SFDA. " Immediately, the reporter called Qumei after-sales as a consumer. Miss operator assured the reporter to take it, because "Qumei is a diet drug approved by SFDA". When the reporter asked why it was a drug without a prescription, the answer was "because Qumei is absolutely safe." Afterwards, the reporter called the propaganda department of Taiji Group, and Taiji Group was unwilling to give an answer. SFDA: There is no official statement yet. In fact, for sibutramine, the FDA and SFDA in the United States are two gold-lettered signboards to prove its safety. At present, the FDA has suddenly "betrayed" and the National Medical Products Administration has become the key to Qu Mei's life and death. However, since the reporter sent an interview outline to the SFDA Information Office on June 5438+04, SFDA has still not given a reply, only saying that "the head of the functional department in charge of this matter is not here, so it is impossible to reply". However, an expert of SFDA revealed to the reporter that according to the experience of the last PPA incident, once a pharmaceutical ingredient is subject to large-scale review abroad, SFDA will be highly vigilant. Moreover, the actions taken by Hong Kong will inevitably have a rapid impact on mainland functional departments. In this case, SFDA's first response should be to instruct the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center to start the monitoring procedure. According to sources, SFDA is currently studying this matter, but the specific results are still unknown. Publicity materials: the language is vague. In fact, Qumei is not the first time to encounter the crisis of sibutramine. After sibutramine was listed in Italy in April, 20001,Italian health authorities received 50 reports of adverse reactions of this product, of which 15% was a serious fatal reaction and 2 cases died. Subsequently, the Italian health authorities announced the suspension of all products containing sibutramine, and asked the European Patent and Drug Commission (CPMP) to re-evaluate the risks and benefits of sibutramine. At that time, the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center held an emergency expert demonstration meeting, and Qu Mei also reported the relevant situation to the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center. In July, CPMP announced that it supported the use of this product, but requested to send a "letter to doctors" throughout the European Community to emphasize the rational use. The Italian Ministry of Health subsequently allowed it to be resold in the Italian market, so it was never heard of in China. In fact, Italy's approval for the re-listing of sibutramine is conditional-prescriptions can only be prescribed by five types of experts, namely cardiologists, diabetes experts, endocrinologists and internal medicine and nutrition experts. In addition, patients who take this product need to keep a diary to monitor their weight, heart rate and blood pressure, and doctors must fill in these data clearly every time they prescribe to patients. At the same time, the company must update the product information in time to emphasize the importance of giving special care to patients with glaucoma and high intraocular pressure. The reporter found in Qumei's promotional materials that Qumei said that "since the product 1998 was listed in Europe and America, tens of millions of obese people have taken it and successfully lost weight, and no important side effects harmful to human health have been found. Its safety has been fully verified and recognized on a global scale." It is also said that "it can maintain the weight loss effect of Qumei and reduce the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases related to obesity." Drugstore: You don't need a prescription to buy tramadol. The reporter called the hotline of the Ministry of Health as a consumer yesterday. The receptionist said that she had not paid attention to the latest situation of sibutramine, but she made it clear that sibutramine is a drug with side effects. The degree of side effects varies according to the individual's physical condition. Qumei is a national quasi-brand drug and must be taken under the guidance of a doctor. However, in Beijing Heniantang Pharmacy and TEDA Pharmacy, the waiter said that cash purchase is not required. At Hufangqiao Pharmacy in Beijing Tongrentang, the waiter said that if customers need it, they can leave their contact information after purchase. It is understood that there are 9 kinds of domestic drugs containing sibutramine hydrochloride (6 capsules and 3 tablets) and 2 kinds of imported drugs (capsules). For example, the familiar Qumei, Aoquqing, Olina, Kexiu and Quxiu are mainly composed of sibutramine. However, according to industry insiders, most diet pills are prescription drugs at present, and most of them are operated according to the sales rules of over-the-counter drugs-consumers can buy them in some pharmacies without prescriptions. In this regard, a person in state administration of traditional chinese medicine believes that this phenomenon is the result of many factors. On the one hand, manufacturers will play down the identity and side effects of drugs in publicity for profit. On the other hand, influenced by traditional thinking, people are not alert. They think that diet pills are not drugs, but health care products, and that there is no need to go to the hospital to prescribe them. As a pharmacy, it is easy to ignore the requirements for prescriptions in pursuit of benefits. At the same time, under the condition that some pharmacies do not need to issue prescriptions, pharmacies that are forced to produce doctors' prescriptions will face operational weaknesses. This person believes that Qumei, as a quasi-brand prescription drug, can be purchased at will, which makes it more difficult to manage other prescription drugs, which is a bad industry phenomenon.

The following 10 weight loss methods are considered by experts to be the best weight loss methods. Based on an average intake of 2000 calories per day.

Method 1: reduce calorie intake.

Nutritionists believe that whatever you control-protein, carbohydrates or fat-will eventually reduce your calorie intake. If a person consumes less than 800 calories a day, he can lose 10 pounds in 6 weeks. If you eat 500 calories less, you will lose weight 10 kg in two and a half months. But don't lose weight too fast, or it's dangerous. It should be noted that if the calories supplied to the body are too small, each person should consume at least 1200 kcal per day; You lost your muscles. Muscle is the key for human body to consume calories and promote metabolism. This method of losing weight can be easily realized by every obese person.

Method 2: Eat less high-fat food:

Experts point out that every 1 g of fat equals 9 kilocalories. Compared with fat, carbohydrates and protein contain much lower calories per gram, about 4 kilocalories. Therefore, to lose weight, you don't have to eat less. You can replace the high-fat food you eat every day with fresh vegetables, fruits and grains (such as cream). Experts believe that if you only eat 20-40 grams of fat every day, you will lose weight 10 kg in two months. However, not everyone can lose weight by eating less fat. If you eat too much carbohydrate, you will get fat.

Three ways to lose weight and reduce food intake:

If you want to lose weight, you don't have to give up your favorite food. It's important to control it. If you prefer a certain food and eat a lot, you should pay attention to reducing the portion every time. Instead of eating 200 grams of meat four times a week, eat 100 grams each time, so that you can consume less calories of 1200 kilocalories and lose weight in about seven and a half months. It is suggested that dieters put a scale in the kitchen and put up warning signs to remind themselves of the weight of food intake.

Four ways to lose weight, eat more liquid food:

It is very convenient to cook liquid food at ordinary times. If you only eat liquid food or drink once a day, you can lose weight 10 kg in 8 months. Liquid food should be diversified to avoid nutrient deficiency. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can even have two meals a day. This can reduce 10 kg in five weeks. However, it is necessary to ensure that the selected liquid food can provide the nutrition and protein needed by the body and ensure three meals a day.

Five ways to lose weight, lose weight:

Walk 5 kilometers in 45 minutes, 1 time every day, five days every week, and you will lose weight 10 kg in six months. If you walk 6.5 kilometers in 45 minutes, you will lose weight faster. Some people may say "no time for a walk". In fact, time is squeezed out. Cardiovascular doctors point out that this method of losing weight may increase appetite. Therefore, before or after a walk, you can eat some low-fat food or fresh fruit and drink plenty of water to replenish the body water reduced by sweating.

Six ways to lose weight, fixed exercise:

Doing regular exercise 3-5 times a week is a good way to reduce body fat, lose weight, increase muscle and make you energetic. Run five times a week for 45 minutes at a speed of 170 meters per minute, and you can lose 10 pounds in three months; Dance, 6 times a week, each time 1 hour, 4 months can be reduced 10 kg; Swimming for 4 hours a week can reduce 10 kg in 4 months; Ride four times a week, each time 1 hour, each hour 15 km, and you can reduce 10 kg for five months. If you haven't exercised regularly before, you should do less at first so as not to hurt your health. Excessive exercise will increase food intake and fail to achieve the goal of losing weight.

Weight loss method seven, strength training:

Strength training can strengthen muscles. The more muscles, the faster the metabolism. Lift weights three times a week for 45 minutes each time. 10 month can reduce 10 kg. In order to avoid hurting your health, you should ask a coach to help you choose the right weight and make an appropriate exercise plan. Stretching should be done before and after exercise to keep the flexibility of the body, and the weight and frequency of weightlifting can be gradually increased.

Eight ways to lose weight, reducing calorie intake combined with walking:

Replacing Coca-Cola with soda water can save 150 kilocalories per day. If you add a 45-minute 5-kilometer walk five times a week, you can lose 10 kg in three months. If you reduce more calories and keep walking, you can lose 10 kg in 7 weeks.

Nine ways to lose weight, reduce fat intake and lift weights:

This method of losing weight can consume excess fat in the body, keep a good figure, increase muscles, accelerate metabolism and promote cardiovascular health. Eat 20 grams less fat every day, lift weights for 20 minutes three times a week, and you can lose 10 kg for three and a half months.

The best way to lose weight is to lose weight:

According to the above nine methods, make a plan that can be implemented step by step. The most ideal combination plan is to control fat intake and strengthen exercise and strength training. As long as you have confidence and keep doing it, you will definitely achieve the goal of losing weight, strengthening muscles, promoting cardiovascular health and body metabolism. Reduce the intake of 100 kcal every day, walk three times a week for 30 minutes, and do weightlifting twice a week for 40 minutes. This combination can reduce 10 pounds in five months. It may not be appropriate to combine the three methods at first, so try to increase them gradually. For example, add and do methods one by one. Be patient and don't rush for success.

Experts pointed out that it is ideal for women to lose 1-0.5 kg per week, and it is more appropriate for men to lose 1-2 kg per week.

I'll introduce you to another method, which is neither laborious nor troublesome, and it is immediate.

Tape winding method (foot-binding finger):

(1) Divide the tape into about 4 mm wide.

(2) Wrap the adhesive tape around the thumb of the foot, starting from the edge of the nail, winding it twice to the first joint, and then winding it twice from the first joint to the fingertip.

(3) Then wrap it around the ring finger. Stick the adhesive tape on the side of the ring finger near the little finger, wrap it around the first joint twice along the side of the palm, cross the first joint from the sole of the foot, wrap it for two and a half times, and end at the center of the side near the middle finger.

Toes are different to me. It doesn't matter if I can't turn my joints twice.

It's best to put on a tight skirt before winding to see if the winding waist becomes smaller instantly. I once had a friend who followed this method and found that the waist circumference was actually 4 cm smaller after winding.

After winding works, it usually lasts for 3-4 weeks, which will have obvious effect.
