Previously, Tongling Municipal Market Supervision Bureau received complaints from consumers, claiming that a trial package of "slimming candy" was purchased through WeChat transfer on the live broadcast platform, and a series of uncomfortable reactions occurred after taking it.
Law enforcement officers of Tongling Municipal Market Supervision Bureau preliminarily judged that sibutramine, a banned drug, was added to the tablet candy by using rapid detection method, and immediately filed an investigation and conducted legal inspection on the tablet candy.
The test results show that
The content of sibutramine in this product is 44.8 mg/g.
Law enforcement officers of Tongling Municipal Market Supervision Bureau found in the investigation that two sellers of this "slimming candy" had more than 200,000 fans on the live broadcast platform, and their account names were "Extreme Energy g-" and "Qin Qin (couple’s daily life)". At the same time, they also advertised and sold this "slimming candy" in the WeChat circle of friends.
Tongling Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, together with the public security organs, went to Zhengzhou to inspect the production and processing places of the "slimming candy" according to the clues. Two production and processing dens were discovered and destroyed at the scene, and 20 tablets and capsules production equipment were seized, involving more than 300 kilograms of pressed candy and raw materials, and 12 suspects were arrested.
Severe cases can lead to cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction.
Sibutramine was once banned.
Sibutramine was first marketed in the United States in 1998, because it can inhibit the appetite center, promote the body’s stomach fullness and reduce appetite, and was once used as a weight loss drug. However, a large number of adverse reactions of sibutramine have been reported at home and abroad in the past ten years.
Zhang Shige, chief pharmacist of Peking University Fourth Clinical Medical College and beijing jishuitan hospital Pharmacy Department, said:
Sibutramine has the effects of raising blood pressure and accelerating heart rate, which can cause cardiovascular adverse reactions such as increased heart rate, palpitation and elevated blood pressure, and even lead to cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction in severe cases. Sibutramine can also cause insomnia, headache and other problems. In severe cases, it can cause abnormal thinking, emotional disorder, mental anxiety, limb spasm, epilepsy, mania and so on, and even lead to suicide.
In 2010, sibutramine was suspended or withdrawn from the market in 68 countries, including China. However, due to its weight-loss effect, illegal addition has been repeatedly banned.
Zhang Shige said:
The safety of drugs comes before the curative effect. If they are unsafe, no matter how good the curative effect is, they cannot be used. According to the case analysis of clinical medication, sibutramine does not have serious adverse reactions only when it is eaten in a large amount and lasts for a long time, but may also have serious adverse reactions once occasionally, or have adverse effects on future generations.
The production workshop is messy.
The price of profiteering "slimming candy" can be turned 30 times.
Law enforcement officers found the workshop of the "slimming candy" in a village in Huiji District, Zhengzhou City. There were many equipments such as mixers, granulators, tabletting machines, sugar coating machines and manual capsule filling machines everywhere in the simple brick house, and the production table was covered with oil stains and old scales. All kinds of dextrin, talcum powder, microcrystalline cellulose and other raw materials are piled in the corner; Pills are scattered all over the floor and room, and the finished "slimming candy" is packed in large plastic bags and plastic buckets, waiting to be wrapped in a layer of foam film, packed in cartons and delivered to buyers.

The online celebrity with goods was made into small packages and sold to the victims at the price of 269 yuan/bag (10 capsules), and the price was more than 30 times.
According to the investigation and verification by the public security organs, the raw materials of sibutramine purchased and sold by the parties are priced according to the purity, which is generally about 7,000 yuan per kilogram. However, the content of sibutramine in this product is 44.8mg/g, which is less than 5% of the whole. The rest components are composed of dextrin, talcum powder, microcrystalline cellulose and other raw materials.
