In June 12, 2024, due to the increasing global diabetic and obese population, the demand for 'slimming injections' that control blood sugar and aid in weight loss has surged, causing shortages from pharmaceutical companies. Hospitals are now taking measures to reserve these medications for patients, emphasizing the importance of obtaining them through legal channels to avoid ineffective treatments and serious adverse reactions without recourse for medical compensation. Doctors recommend close monitoring and consultation in cases of severe discomfort while using these injections for weight loss, highlighting potential extreme side effects like vomiting and even esophageal bleeding. Illegal online sales of medications have been on the rise, with the authorities warning the public of the risks and penalties associated with purchasing unverified and potentially harmful products.
