|
According to Chinese media CCTV and Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Chen, a 28-year-old woman living in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China
On social media "You can lose at least 3.5kg with a single injection."After viewing the advertisement, " purchased a three-dose 'Diet Injection' package for 900 yuan (about 180,000 won). It was my first time using the product, so I carefully injected only half of the recommended amount into the abdomen, but soon vomiting and loss of appetite appeared.
She lost almost 1 kg a day in the first three days, losing about 5 kg in four days."
However, the condition deteriorated sharply from the fourth day. Chen said "I threw up green and yellow liquid, but the hospital said it was bile. The gastric mucosa had already been damaged.'"During the electrocardiogram, he suddenly vomited blood and his digestive system was damaged by bleeding. "My pulse stopped and I received first aid, and I lost consciousness and only woke up to find out what was going on."
After emergency treatment, she overcame the crisis, but doctors recommended avoiding pregnancy for at least a year, saying the damage had not fully recovered.
According to CCTV reports, the 'diet injection' was sold like a trend in live commerce, but it was actually an illegal product. Manufacturers used forged and stolen production licenses and repackaged semaglutide (prescription drugs for type 2 diabetes and long-term weight management) illegally obtained from unlicensed small workplaces. It turned out that the manufacturing cost per injection was only 4 yuan (about 800 won).
Netizens are saying "It's so scary. You need to lose weight in a healthy way", "Don't be swayed by appearance anxiety, be careful" and "You can trade your life for your diet" are what they write."
