Recently, the United States has developed a kind of slimming drug for lazy people, which can make fat people lose weight successfully without exercise!

Let's talk about whether traditional Chinese medicine really works.

Does traditional Chinese medicine really work

First: Traditional Chinese medicine to lose weight really work, such as amphetamines: also known as appetite. Its main pharmacological action is to affect the satiety center of hypothalamus by stimulating the central nervous system, so as to reduce the appetite of patients. At the same time, the drug can increase the excitability of nerve center, reduce sleep and increase consumption, so as to reduce weight. The side effects include insomnia, mental tension, palpitation and other manifestations of sympathetic excitement, and long-term use can be addictive. Patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperthyroidism and obese diabetes should not use this drug. In order to develop the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, a variety of amphetamines have been prepared, among which fenfluramine (trifluoromethyl m-phenylethylamine) is the best. In addition to inhibiting appetite, the drug can also promote muscle cells to absorb glucose, reduce the conversion of glucose to fat, and the side effects of sympathetic nerve stimulation are not obvious. Clinical trials show that the drug has the effects of lowering blood glucose, blood lipid and mild blood pressure. Patients with obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease and hypertension can take it, and the general dosage is 20 mg, three times a day. It can be produced in China.

Second: biguanide hypoglycemic drugs: by increasing the metaoxygen glycolysis solution of the tissue, it can promote the tissue's uptake of glucose, reduce blood glucose and hyperinsulinemia; by using the gastrointestinal reaction of drugs, it can reduce appetite and inhibit the intestinal absorption of glucose. Side effects include fatigue, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in patients with severe gastrointestinal reactions, and lactic acid poisoning may be caused by excessive production of lactic acid. Commonly used oral tablets are Jiangtangling (phenethylenediamine) 25mg, 3 times / day; Jiangtangling tablets (metformin), 0.25g, 3 times / day.

Third: a-glucosidase inhibitor: the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine depends on the help of small glucosidase secreted by small intestinal mucosal cells. Inhibiting the effect of small glucosidase can reduce the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine. At present, several small glucosidase inhibitors have been developed, and acarbose (produced by Bayer company in Germany) is the most studied. Its safety and efficacy have been confirmed by clinical studies. The commonly used dose is 50-100 mg, 2-3 times a day. Another kind of miglitol (also from Bayer company) has similar clinical effect with acarbose. The treatment dose is 50-100 mg, three times a day. The side effects were carbohydrate malabsorption, abdominal distension and diarrhea. The occurrence of side effects was positively correlated with the dosage, so the dosage should be appropriate. The drug has not been put into the domestic market.
