Recently, the Shenyang Food and Drug Administration Department discovered that illegal products such as “Sibutramine Hydrochloride†and “Phenolphthalein†were added to diet products for weight loss, and the violation was investigated according to law. They also issued warnings that they were vigilant to add "Sibutramine Hydrochloride" and "Phenolphthalein" illegally in some foods. These two substances have adverse effects on the human body and may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and arrhythmia and other adverse reactions.
The provincial food and drug supervision department stated that the manufacturer should indicate the health care function interpretation on the health food manual to guide consumers to correctly understand the function of the health food. At the same time, consumers should rationally take weight loss health foods. Take it strictly in accordance with the approved instructions and cannot substitute for a normal diet. Qualified health food should be purchased through formal channels. You can log on to the “Data Query†section of the website of the State Food and Drug Administration to inquire about health food information approved for registration.
Sibutramine hydrochloride is a chloride of sibutramine, also often referred to as sibutramine, a central nervous depression drug that has been used for the treatment of obesity. There have been studies showing that this substance has adverse reactions that cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Relevant departments in China have organized experts to evaluate the safety of sibutramine used in our country, and believe that the risk of weight loss treatment is greater than the benefit.
Phenolphthalein is used as a pharmaceutical raw material in pharmaceuticals. Its drug name is phenolphthalein tablets and it is mainly used for the treatment of habitual and intractable constipation. Excessive or long-term abuse can lead to metabolic disorders of the human body, and even severe arrhythmias can be induced. Infants and nursing mothers are banned, and infants and pregnant women should be used with caution.
In October 2010, China requested to stop the production and sales of sibutramine preparations and raw material medicines. Qubuy and more than 10 kinds of diet pills containing sibutramine were required to be recalled. Article 38 of the current “Food Safety Law†in China clearly stipulates that “foods that are produced and operated may not be added with drugs, but substances that are traditionally both food and Chinese herbal medicines may be addedâ€.
Sibutramine hydrochloride and phenolphthalein do not belong to the substance that is both a food and a Chinese medicinal material, and it is forbidden to use it in foods (including health foods). The supervision department will use it as the focus of spot inspection, monitoring and daily supervision. Once food (including health food) is found to contain sibutramine hydrochloride or phenolphthalein, it will be severely punished. If suspected of committing a crime, it will be transferred to public security agencies.
If it is found that food (including health foods) has added "Sibutramine hydrochloride" and "Phenolphthalein" and other illegal activities, you can call 12331 report to the provincial food and drug supervision and management department. (Liaoshen Evening News Zhu Bailing)
