However, after a while, he began to have severe convulsions ...

Diet pill. Tim Brik

Hayk Babayan, a surgeon at the plastic surgery clinic, came to the program to tell about the last minutes of Brik's life.

- On that day, he came to us with Snezhana and Katya, they are now sitting here next to me. Everyone in the clinic knew him, he always joked and was a cheerful guy. But this time he began to complain about feeling unwell. We helped him lie down on the couch. As a doctor, I realized that he had heart problems. He also had diabetes, and this time the sugar rose to 20.8, which is a lot! He had insulin with him. We also injected him with an anesthetic, Tima felt better for a while.

Ekaterina Kolesnichenko, friend of the deceased PR director:

- He did not hide the fact that he uses various pills: for weight loss, for sports, etc.

- I know what pills we are talking about: drugs with sibutramine, which is prohibited. Tim often offered them to me, arguing that they make him feel good and easy. I drank 5-6 tablets. He really wanted to throw overweight and often had plastic surgery.

Everyone who knew Tim Brick and worked with him expressed their condolences on social networks.

Diet pill. Anorexia

In January, the whole country was shocked by the story of Sergei Gaysin from the Bashkir Kumertau (issue). A 30-year-old guy weighs only 37 kg. On this moment he is undergoing treatment in Moscow.

21-year-old Olga Tereshchenko from Crimea, after watching the broadcast with Sergey, could no longer remain silent and decided to tell about herself - she also has problems with lack of weight. A young Crimean woman weighs only 23.5 kg! Today she came to the program from Yalta:

I'm glad you heard me! Thank you all! I really want to live!

Olya's mother, Tatyana:

She's been like this for three years now. He eats everything that is on our table, but the food is not digested. Olya is very nervous about this.

Another heroine of the issue with a similar problem is Kristina Koryagina from Barnaul:

“I don’t know how I got to this point. From the age of 9, it started for me - I began to lose weight.

The third heroine of the Diet Pill issue: Christina's compatriot, 29-year-old Anastasia Boeva ​​from Barnaul:

- My weight is 33.5 kg. I started losing weight when I started studying at the university. I had a lot of stress against the background of loneliness and a great desire to quit everything and go to my grandmother ... but not to my mother. I am my grandmother's favorite granddaughter. And now, as I have now analyzed, she fed me, after which I put my fingers in my mouth to induce vomiting. Now we live together: me, my mother and grandmother. I eat well now, but, again, I eat problems, because I see that my mother and grandmother are constantly swearing!

VIDEO: Tim Brik died from diet pills

29-year-old PR director of Russian show business stars Tim Brik (Timofey Shevchenko) was killed by diet pills. Friends and acquaintances of Tima Brik are sure of this, who boasted to them of his "miracle pills" and the effect they produce. The acquaintances of the famous PR specialist told about this in the program of Andrei Malakhov "Let them talk."

Tragic, shocked many. Both the stars with whom the famous PR man worked, and those who even heard about him for the first time.

In the studio of Andrei Malakhov, the guests of the program "Let them talk" tried to figure out - what ruined the young man?

Among the guests was Hayk Babayan- plastic surgeon, friend and at the same time ward of Tima Brik. Recently, Brik has been engaged in PR for Babayan and his clinic, but he went to him before his death, when he felt unwell.

At the moment of Timofey Shevchenko's death, it was Babayan who was nearby. He told what happened.

According to the doctor, they worked together and often met, discussed different patients whom Tim Brick attracted to the clinic. On February 3, they agreed on a new meeting at Babayan's clinic - Brik was supposed to bring two patients.

Tim brought Babayan Snezhanu Kambur And Katya Kolisnichenko(famous participants in the scandalous show "Dom-2"). The girls also came to the studio of the program "Let them talk" to talk about what happened.

Snezhana Kambur, Katya Kolisnichenko and Hayk Babayan

Tim Brick was in good mood, joked, gave out compliments, and suddenly an administrator came running to Babayan with a message that the PR specialist had become ill. At the same time, before that, he had already turned to a nurse with complaints of chest pain in the region of the heart.

Brick was sent to the ward, he began to recover, but still complained of chest pains. He was in cold sweat.

"This suggests that something really serious is happening with the heart," Babayan said.

Tima Brik was given painkillers injections. He got better.

Knowing that Tima had diabetes, the doctor suggested checking her sugar, especially since Brik always carried the apparatus with him. They checked his sugar, it turned out to be 20.8, according to the doctor - 3-4 times more than the norm. Then the PR man gave himself an injection of insulin.

After an injection of insulin, the young man also improved. But, as we now know, not for long - irreversible processes have already begun in the body ...

At the same time, before his death, Tim Brik wrote on social networks that he eats "a lot of sweets and chocolate", he wonders if he should buy some pills, otherwise they say that "there is not enough zinc in the body."

As Hayk Babayan clarified, the day before his death he told him about these pills. "He came and said: I drank six pills," the doctor said. "It gives me such energy."

According to the doctor, he warned the showman about the dangers of these pills: "Tima, you feel good, but it destroys the body. Stop it," Babayan told him.

According to the girls - Kambur and Kolisnichenko - Tim talked about his "miracle pills" and them.

The pictures of Tima Brik before and after losing weight clearly show what radical changes have occurred in his appearance. However, such sharp and at the same time quick body adjustments with the help of "miracle pills" simply could not but affect the functioning of all body systems.

The pills that the young showman took were really effective in terms of weight loss. Another thing is that in addition to the effect of losing weight, they also gave another effect - causing serious damage to health. And, as we now know, so serious that it led to the death of a star PR person.

Diet pill. Let them talk (02/08/2016)

Why are hazardous to health on the market? medications? What can be turned into a desire to lose weight? Participants of the program "Let them talk" tried to understand these questions.

For "magic" weight loss, you often have to pay with your health. Are you ready to change healthy body bad? Think carefully before choosing one of the following methods on the path to harmony. Do your own research and make sure you fully understand the risk you are taking.

Doctors are sounding the alarm. "Behind last year we seized 12 tons of drugs for weight loss with a deadly filling throughout Russia. They contain not only mazindol, but also fenfluramine, sibutramine and pseudoephedrine. "They really allow you to quickly reset excess weight while rapidly destroying vital organs. Separate topic - thai pills. Their sale is generally prohibited in Russia! However, they continue to be sold via the Internet, by individuals. Due to the intake of dietary supplements with psychotropic substances, people die: we know about a dozen deaths - and this is only recently ...

Dangerous Diet Pills

Recall that initially diet pills were intended for the treatment of people with severe metabolic disorders and for patients with diabetes. You can’t take pills simply because a girlfriend advised or there is not enough time for the gym. Most weight loss pills are extremely harmful to the liver and kidneys.

The bulk of the drugs act at the cellular level, causing a feeling of false satiety. and forcing the body to take nutrients from the cells. As a result, the cells seem to dry out. Imagine that you were not allowed to drink for several days, and then they put a jug of water in front of your eyes. Yes, you will drink this water with greed! The same will happen with the "dried" cells after stopping the miracle drug: they will urgently catch up. And having reached the previous volumes, they will postpone something for a “rainy day”. As a result - plus a few kilograms of weight gain. But more dangerous, according to doctors, - side effects such funds.

Most diet pills contain appetite suppressants. The best known of these are amphetamine, fenfluramine and its derivative dexfenfluramine, and phentermine. Sibutramine, also found in some diet pills, has an effect on certain centers of the brain, suppressing appetite, which threatens insomnia, increased blood pressure. Skin redness, nausea, taste changes, etc. may appear. Phenylpropanolamine can cause an increase in blood pressure, liver disease.

A few years ago we got LiDa capsules, followed in 2009 by slimming capsules called "Wildgrass Degreasing". Tablets "on herbs" turned out to be deadly - they include all the same sibutramine. The victims of these pills were treated for a long time in a narcological dispensary. Here is how one of them, Evgenia, describes her condition: “My friend and I ordered capsules through the official website of LiDa. I lasted 5 days, lost 5 kg, but it's not worth it! 10 minutes after taking it covers: palpitations, dry mouth, apathy, lack of appetite to the point of disgust, a state like in a dream. On the fifth day, I fainted from exhaustion in the city center, after which I stopped taking the drug. Now I have problems with my heart and blood pressure! A friend took 10 days, she began to develop arthritis in her 21 years!

Laxatives are dangerous!

One of the most popular home remedies for weight loss, which is used to cleanse the intestines. Regular use and abuse of laxatives is fraught with a decrease in the level of potassium in the body, the development of arrhythmias and pancreatitis.

Dangerous artificial sweeteners

Aspartame is the most widely used artificial sweetener and has been the subject of numerous lawsuits. According to the plaintiffs, it causes blindness, apoplexy or seizures, and brain disorders.

Smoking is not the way to slim!

Worried about quitting smoking and regaining the weight you lost? According to the National Institute of Diabetes Research (National Institute of Diabetes), to balance the health damage caused by smoking, you need to gain 45-60 kg. We advise you to develop a strategy instead healthy weight loss, which will help you cope with your appetite and reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day.

stimulated bowel cleansing

Like laxatives, bowel cleansing by inducing vomiting or using emetics can be very detrimental to your health. Possible side effects: depletion of nutrients (potassium and vitamins), irritation of the esophagus by stomach acids, and even rupture of the esophagus.

It is also a direct path to the emergence of the most life-threatening eating disorders - anorexia and bulimia.

Term "anorexia" means lack of appetite in the presence of a physiological need for nutrition.

bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by alternating periods of overeating, caused by a sharply increasing feeling of hunger, and bouts of self-induced vomiting.

Diuretics are dangerous!

The use of diuretics promotes the excretion of body fluids, and with it vital electrolytes. Depletion of electrolytes can lead to dehydration, which in turn leads to water retention.

A vicious circle is formed. Repeated or prolonged use of diuretics can lead to kidney dysfunction and electrolyte imbalance, and this is already fraught with heart or kidney failure.

Herbal remedies and teas for weight loss are dangerous!

We tend to equate herbal and harmless remedies, however, according to nutritionists, this is not always true.

Do not forget that many medicines are herbal based, however, due to the lack of established standards, the dosage and active ingredients of such products can be completely different depending on the manufacturer. Below is a list of some of the most common herbal weight loss ingredients, along with warnings about their possible side effects in some conditions.

Ephedra(ephedra) (this group includes ma huang, ephedrine, ephedra extract, epitonin, ephdra sinica and sida cordifolia) is contraindicated in people with heart disease, kidney or thyroid disease, and those with hypertension. The herb has a powerful appetite suppressant effect, but its use has led to the death of more than 70 people.

Buckthorn(cascara) and alexandrian leaf (senna) are contraindicated in people taking diuretics (these components are often found in herbal teas for weight loss).

selenium and capsaicin contraindicated in people with digestive disorders.

Kava(kava) is contraindicated in people with affective disorders, taking psychotropic drugs and tranquilizers, as well as in patients with parkinsonism.

gingo biloba(Gingko biloba), licorice root and dong quay are contraindicated in people taking anticoagulants.

Stomach reduction

The next invention of surgeons is reduction of the stomach(gastric anastomosis). For those who do not believe in their own strength at all, it is proposed to reduce the stomach and thus eat less.
The fact that any intervention is dangerous, as well as the possibility of leakage of the circumcised stomach and subsequent infection of the body, is usually silent.

But the invention of one doctor does not require incisions on the body, he simply infected the patient with the germ of a bull tapeworm, which joyfully absorbed the contents of her intestines.

From such unappetizing ways is a little different freezing of the stomach, allegedly practiced for weight loss by ballerinas.

Before absorbing another obviously superfluous portion of fatty and sweet, it is advised to simply drink one glass of ice water, and send the second to the stomach immediately after eating. Perhaps, for ballet dancers with their exhausting workouts, this method helps to offset the calories from the forbidden cake eaten every six months.

But for lovers of food and sleep, this promises indispensable sore throats, coupled with sinusitis and the rapid development of pancreatitis, you can not dream of losing weight.

Starvation is dangerous to health!

Starving without medical supervision is dangerous to health! When starving, it is lost at first completely not fat but muscle mass . Fasting for a long time weakens immune system body and harms - often irreparably - the functioning of vital organs.

Only knowledgeable and experienced people can fast under their own supervision - fasting leaders, doctors, physiologists, who thoroughly understand all the processes and subtleties. Even if you do not have health problems and you tolerate hunger normally, it is better to replace fasting one-day unloading days.

Plasters are unsafe and ineffective!

Slimming patches believed to contain appetite-suppressing substances have not been recognized neither safe nor effective. Every year thousands of plasters of dubious origin and without quality certificates are confiscated from promoters and thrown back on the market in the same volumes.

Muscle electro- and myostimulators

Electrical stimulators are devices capable of carrying out, in addition to the “myostimulation” procedure itself, and others. healing procedures, acting on a person with impulses electric current in order to obtain a certain effect.

These devices, although quite justifiably used by physicians in physiotherapy, absolutely useless for weight loss. They support muscle strength, improve blood circulation, prevent congestion in the body, but do not burn fat.

Don't even compare muscle work in gym with this slight twitch. Also, one should not forget about contraindications to myostimulation and complications from this procedure. Electrical stimulators can cause electric shock or severe burns if not used properly.

Slimming clothing with greenhouse effect

The effect of a sauna on a particular part of the body is far from safe. Instead of once again putting on panties for weight loss and sweating, it's better to sign up for a fitness club where there is a sauna. Harm to the body will be many times less!

So far, there is only one proven way to be slim and healthy: to be active and eat no more than you burn calories!

Without a doubt, losing weight is a good goal, however, maintaining health is extremely important. Be sure to make sure that the method you choose to lose weight will not entail serious health problems. And how many of you tested the terrible methods of losing weight on yourself?

Modern medicine offers remedies for the treatment of almost all diseases and strengthening the body as a whole. But after all, many have heard that drugs treat one thing and cripple another. Sometimes this expression, which has long become winged, is also applied to human life.

Violation of the rules for taking medications or an increased sensitivity of the body to chemical compounds can provoke at best intoxication, and at worst - death. So which common medications should be treated with caution? Overdose of which pills leads to death?

Rules for taking medicines

Before using any medication, you should consult your doctor. This is rule number 1 in the treatment of diseases. But there is a small problem: not all doctors have sufficient knowledge and experience. Therefore, to resolve the issue, it is better to choose a reputable specialist, especially in the case of serious illnesses.

Secondly, not every person seeks help from a doctor, preferring to self-medicate. With a headache, a slightly elevated temperature, or a superficial scratch, it is even embarrassing to go to the hospital. And a person uses medicines on his own, often following the recommendations of very dubious advisers, completely forgetting to read the instructions.

The result is often the swallowing of an excessive amount of tablets, which instead of healing leads to a serious complication. Therefore, under any circumstances, you need to read the instructions. The manufacturing company always indicates the therapeutic dose of the drug, the pharmacological group, possible side effects and compatibility with other medicines.

From an overdose of which pills does death occur? From the most diverse Popular today and familiar since childhood. Let us consider in more detail the types of drugs with which care must be taken.

Types of dangerous drugs

This applies to elderly people who are fighting for their lives by all means, this also applies to chronically ill people of any age. And often such patients violate medical recommendations, hoping to get best effect from a higher dose. Old people sometimes simply forget that most recently they have already taken medication.

Overdose of which pills can cause death? Doctors call several types of especially dangerous medicines:

1. Sleeping pills.
2. Cardiological.
3. Neurotropic.
4. Painkillers.

sleeping pills

Derivatives of barbituric acid (Pentobarbital, Phenobarbital, etc.) were widely used as sedatives and hypnotics. Over time, their insecurity has been proven, and therapeutic use has narrowed significantly.

In addition, doctors carefully prescribe non-barbituric drugs (Lorazepam, Noktek, etc.), because they also provoke pronounced side effects:

• breathing disorder;
• violation of muscle motility (ataxia);
• decrease in heart rate;
• paralysis of the eye muscles;
• confusion.

If a person takes such tablets 2-3 times more than the recommended amount, then intoxication is guaranteed. And in the case of a 10-fold excess of the therapeutic dosage, death occurs.

Cardiological

Performance improvement of cardio-vascular system worries many older people. It is after 50-60 years that problems with pressure, vascular tone and the functioning of the heart most often begin.

As an aid, doctors recommend preparations based on glycosides - compounds of natural origin. Subject to therapeutic dosage, they significantly prolong the life of elderly patients.

But if you exceed the number of tablets at least 10 times, the patient will show the following symptoms:

• intestinal disorders (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting);
• nervous disorders (delusions, hallucinations, agitation);
• headache;
• convulsions;
• violation of the heart rhythm.

Not everyone's heart can withstand such a load. And in case of prolonged illness and weakening main muscle the body has every chance of earning a myocardial infarction.

In addition, potassium intoxication poses a considerable danger, the ions of which are involved in the metabolic processes of the cell, the regulation of heart contractions, the maintenance of water-salt homeostasis and the transmission of nerve impulses through neurons.

An accidental overdose of this chemical element provokes arrhythmia, disorientation and a decrease in pressure. And if you introduce 14 g of pure potassium into the body, then the heart will stop. By the way, this feature was adopted by the US authorities: in recent decades, executions have been carried out by a lethal injection of potassium.

Neurotropic

In psychiatric practice, they usually resort to drug treatment, which consists in the use of tranquilizers, antipsychotics and antidepressants. Doctors have different attitudes towards such therapy. Some consider it appropriate to use such means, while others prefer more humane ways to help the patient.

Medicines of this group act on the central nervous system either depressingly or excitingly. It all depends on the purpose of the treatment. For example, monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors increase the concentration of compounds such as serotonin, dopamine, and a number of others.

These substances directly affect the formation of human mood. However, exceeding the dosage causes such a strong excitement that the risk of clinical death (coma) increases significantly.

Intoxication sometimes becomes noticeable only a day after the abuse of funds, and if you do not help the patient, then a fatal outcome is quite possible.

Even 100 years ago, cocaine was considered a safe stimulant. nervous system and sold in pharmacies without a prescription. Today it is rarely used in medical practice. There are so many cases of death from cocaine overdose that the United Nations in 1963 added the compound to the list of banned.

And yet this does not prevent the "former drug" from remaining the most popular drug in the world. It is known that long-term use of cocaine provokes the development of psychosis and hallucinations. If you take more than 1.2 g of white powder at a time, then the heart will not cope with the load and will stop.

A similar danger comes from tricyclic antidepressants (Amitriptyline, Stelazin, etc.). These drugs are considered reliable means to suppress feelings of anxiety, but almost every member of this group causes the following symptoms when overdosed:

• weakness;
• lowering blood pressure;
• hallucinations;
• anxiety delirium (madness, delirium);
• fever.

Death in most cases occurs due to heart rhythm disturbances. And if the toxic dose of Amitriptyline is 500 mg, then the lethal dose is 1200 mg.

Painkillers

Although this group includes a large number of drugs, narcotic analgesics deserve special attention: morphine, heroin, codeine, methadone and the like. In medical practice, these drugs are used to relieve severe pain.

There are many reasons for such a serious treatment, but in each case, the medicine is prescribed exclusively by a doctor.

And if the dosage is exceeded, then the patient has the following symptoms:

• constricted pupils;
• nausea and vomiting;
• breathing disorder;
• clouding of consciousness up to hallucinations;
• convulsions.

As a result of intoxication with narcotic analgesics, a person often falls into a coma. If the maximum dosage is exceeded by clinical death, the case is not limited - a fatal outcome occurs.

Some people see a kind of high in the symptoms of side effects. They are called drug addicts. They get hooked on such drugs after 2-3 applications, and getting off the needle is sometimes impossible.

The lethal dose of heroin for an adult when administered intravenously is 75 mg, morphine is 200 mg. However, for "experienced" drug addicts, such an amount will only bring pleasure. By the way, long-term use of these drugs significantly reduces the body's susceptibility to chemical compounds.

And when a disease occurs, doctors simply shrug their hands in impotence: the patient is not affected necessary funds due to drug addiction.

Popular drugs

There are many over-the-counter drugs on the pharmaceutical market that do not require a prescription from a doctor. And patients do not always go to the hospital for advice. Everyone already knows: if your head hurts, Aspirin or Analgin will help, and if you have a temperature, Paracetamol.

But such popular drugs are fraught with a danger that neither doctors nor pharmacy workers warn about. An overdose of which pills can cause rapid death? Consider the most popular drugs.

Paracetamol Paracetamol is currently produced by almost 30 companies. They supply medicine under various brand names, but the active compound is the same everywhere. Preparations based on it are used to reduce body temperature. Some patients believe that if you consistently take 2-3 types of medicinal tea (Coldrex, Fervex, etc.), and even drink a pill with the same substance, then the effect will be more pronounced.

Of course the temperature will drop. And at the same time, intoxication will occur, as a result of which the liver will suffer first of all. But there is also a risk of destruction of brain cells. The maximum daily dose of Paracetamol is 4 g. The use of at least 15 g per day provokes intoxication, and more than 20 g causes death. Statistics show that in the United States and European countries, Paracetamol leads in terms of the number of poisonings, incl. and with a fatal outcome.

Aspirin Included in the list of essential drugs. This chemical compound has an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic effect, and therefore is very popular. Back in 1982, the authors of the discovery were awarded the Nobel Prize for giving the world such a miraculous medicine!

A few years later, doctors began to notice the development of Reye's syndrome in children taking Aspirin, even at prescribed doses. This disease is characterized by the destruction of liver cells, and although it manifests itself very rarely, it is sometimes impossible to save the patient. In addition, the drug thins the blood, as a result of which doctors call gastric bleeding.

In light of the popularity of Aspirin, pharmacists forget to warn people: exceeding the therapeutic dose by 10 times leads to intoxication, and the use of 30-40 g leads to death.

Analgin As a safe analgesic, domestic doctors often recommend Analgin - metamizole sodium. The medicine acts relatively quickly: in just half an hour the patient will feel relief.

However, in a number of countries (USA, Japan, Sweden, etc.), metamizole sodium is banned due to its ability to cause agranulocytosis, which is characterized by a decrease in the level of leukocytes in the blood and, as a result, an increase in susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections.

The maximum daily dosage of Analgin is 3 g, and exceeding it leads to such side effects:

• nausea and vomiting;
• decrease in blood pressure;
• tachycardia;
• dyspnea;
• paralysis of the respiratory muscles;
• impaired consciousness, delirium;
• convulsions;
• hemorrhagic syndrome.

As you can see from this list, there are plenty of reasons for concern. If the patient's body is initially weak, then without medical help it will be problematic to overcome the symptoms of an overdose. And in the case of the use of Analgin over 20 grams, death cannot be avoided.

Iodine After the Chernobyl disaster, the authorities disseminated information that iodine reduces the effects of radioactive exposure. Yes it is. There is even scientific evidence. However, some people sometimes treat iodine irresponsibly, either not knowing, or forgetting about the danger that this chemical element carries.

If you use more than 500 mg of the drug per day, then the person will have characteristic signs:

• increase in goiter;
• protrusion of the eyes;
• tachycardia;
• decreased muscle tone;
• indigestion.

These symptoms will seem negligible if the dosage is increased to 2 g. Iodine will simply provoke protein denaturation, which will naturally lead to cell death. But before that, a person will feel a strong pain syndrome due to burns of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, larynx, stomach and intestines.

this chemical element will be absorbed into the blood, the central nervous system will fail, and the heartbeat will slow down sharply. Death from an overdose of iodine will be painful.

Vitamins Various vitamin preparations are taken to strengthen the immune system and improve the body, it is customary to consider them useful and not causing any harm. However, an overabundance of vitamins can lead to sad consequences.

Vitamin D is needed by the body for bone growth. Its deficiency leads to rickets in early age. To prevent the development of this disease, caring mothers regularly stuff their children with double and triple doses of vitamin D. The result is often the death of a child due to excessive mineralization and ossification of the skull.

Vitamin C activates the immune defense, so it is rightfully considered one of the most important compounds. The daily dose of a pure substance for an adult is 90 mg. But if you consume more than 500 mg of vitamin C daily, then the human DNA will begin to mutate - instead of normal cells, cancer cells will appear.

In addition, anemia often develops, which in itself is dangerous due to the risk of premature tissue death. And yet, this does not prevent some pharmaceutical companies from producing complexes in which ascorbic acid is 2-5 times higher than normal.

Vitamin A is required for good vision, growth and development of the body. It is included in the structure of cell membranes and provides antioxidant protection. The allowable daily dose of vitamin A for an adult is 10,000 IU or 3 mg. However, a single use of more than 25,000 IU per 1 kg of weight provokes acute poisoning, which is characterized by convulsions and paralysis. If you do not provide medical assistance, then a fatal outcome is also possible.

In turn, daily intake for 6-15 months of 4000 IU of vitamin A causes a chronic overdose. At the same time, a person’s vision is impaired, the liver enlarges, the pressure inside the skull increases with all the ensuing consequences. In addition, with a constant excess of this compound, cases of bone fracture without significant load are not uncommon.

First aid for drug overdose

What first aid should be given to a person poisoned by medicines?

A person who has been poisoned by medicines needs urgent hospitalization. Only doctors will provide qualified assistance, if, of course, they have time. And for the situation to be clear initially, doctors need to know the name of the pills.

The one who found the victim should immediately call an ambulance and carefully look for empty packs of drugs. Perhaps they were the cause of intoxication.

What to do in case of drug poisoning in the first place?

And while the team of doctors is on the way, it is recommended to wash the patient's stomach with salt water (1 teaspoon of salt per 1 liter of water). After drinking 5-6 glasses of this solution, you need to provoke vomiting. For greater reliability, the victim should be given 4-5 tablets of activated charcoal.

Specialty: general practitioner

Biological fact: the body of women is slowly and extremely reluctant to part with subcutaneous fat, even during active classes sports. To speed up the process, many begin to take fat burners, the chemical composition of which provokes a strong blow to the body with toxins.

There is no woman who does not dream of slim figure. True, the approaches to achieving "template" waist parameters for the fair sex are noticeably different. Someone closes in the gym, others sit on strict diet. Particularly desperate begin to look for the most effective fat-burning drugs that will help combine the effect of going to the gym and diet.

The main problem of such women is that they begin to take fat-burning pills without changing their diet and without increasing physical activity- the main reasons why a person can start to gain weight.

Fat burners don't work on their own

You need to be prepared to take medication. First - the transition to the correct fractional nutrition followed by increased physical activity

Nutritionists note that it is also necessary to almost completely abandon alcohol - one of the most high-calorie foods that is consumed along with regular meals. It is worth remembering something else: fat-burning pills do not give a quick effect, “losing weight quickly in a week” with their help will not work for sure.

Harmless does not exist

One of the most popular drugs for burning excess fat are thermogenics (or thermogenics). Their action is based on the acceleration of metabolism through an increase in body temperature. After taking such drugs, the body begins to intensively burn stored fat reserves, and excess fluid out much faster. True, thermogenics have so many side effects that only extremely healthy people can take the drug.

For example, thermogenics should not be taken by people with elevated blood pressure, since the normal level (pressure) rises from this by 10–20 units. Other side effects are tachycardia and arrhythmia. In addition, from taking thermogenics, women literally begin to become dumb: long-term use of drugs provokes depletion of the nervous system, malfunctions of the central nervous system and a decrease in mental abilities.

Each manufacturer claims that the pills are harmless. However, it is not

There are no harmless drugs for burning fat. Each of them "depresses" certain organs in the body.

Fat burners do not fall into the category of drugs, and you do not need a prescription from a doctor to purchase them. It is for this reason that many women begin to take such drugs quickly and often uncontrollably. The price does not stop the beautiful half of humanity: decent drugs with proven action cost under 3 thousand rubles per pack. For this money, psychostimulants are usually sold, which increase stamina, sweating and the removal of fluid from the body, however, serious changes begin in the body while taking such drugs.

With appetite suppression (and psychostimulants work that way), the work of the digestive organs is disrupted. First of all, the stomach, intestines and liver, so "thunder" to the gastroenterologist after trying to lose weight before the beach season is a common thing. At the same time, most drugs have nothing to do with fat burning at all. Nutritionist Olga Stolyarova, in an interview with Life, noted that none of the drugs is directly capable of burning subcutaneous fat reserves.

We can say that some drugs dull the feeling of hunger, others interfere with the absorption of fats or remove fluid from the body. None of these drugs directly affect subcutaneous fat

Despite the fact that drugs for accelerated weight loss have been around for several decades, their effect on the body has not yet been fully studied. Most manufacturers insure against lawsuits and criminal cases for the sale of such pills with warnings on the packaging. "Strictly limited" or "take as prescribed by a doctor" - such formulations can often be found on jars and boxes. True, for a woman whose brain has already tuned in to fast weight loss by the summer, such warnings are not valid.

What manufacturers will never talk about is that some "appetite blockers" and other "traits" for weight loss prevent the body from properly detoxifying. As a result of accelerating the metabolism, an overdose of fat burners can cause a malfunction in the liver and kidneys, and, instead of getting rid of the accumulated poison, the body will "storage" all the garbage inside. At this rate, as doctors say, even close to oncology.

At one's own risk

Drugs approved and certified for sale in Russia are under strict state control. True, women who have firmly decided to lose weight at all costs often use dubious foreign-made drugs, from which they often die. Chinese, Thai, and indeed any other diet pills that are most often bought via the Internet have not been studied by Russian experts.

Chills, fever, convulsions, heart failure, pneumonia - these consequences have more than once caused the death of young girls not only in Russia, but also in other countries of the former CIS. There are other side effects as well. For example, in the period from 2011 to 2015, several cases were recorded in Russia when quite healthy women, leading an active lifestyle, ovarian cysts, cervical cancer and other unpleasant diseases were found, and the most "simple" consequences of taking such drugs are hormonal imbalance and cycle disturbance.

Many of the Asian drugs still contain sibutramine, a banned drug that used to be used to treat obesity. It causes a feeling of fullness, but it acts on the body in almost the same way as hard drugs: it depletes the body, kills the microflora and “dries out” internal organs. In addition, most Asian pills contain other stimulants that significantly increase not only tone, but also blood pressure, thereby provoking rupture of blood vessels in the brain.
