New recommendations from the National Medicines Safety Agency
Each year, scientists from all walks of life publish studies on the diseases of civilization, stress, tobacco, obesity , cardiovascular accidents, diabetes and, it is clear, that these pathologies affect more and more subjects. . This has a cost for society. Overweight is put in the hot seat and the health agencies, which take things head on, give advice on methods, medications, devices to educate obese people to make better choices in terms of weight loss.
A call to order from the ANSM
The National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products has decided to set the tone for this summer of 2015 . It asks overweight subjects who wish to lose weight to remain vigilant about the risks incurred with medical devices, plants, drugs or medicinal preparations sold outside pharmacies, on the internet or in pharmacies or other herbalists.
Since its last report, which dates from 2012, it has affirmed that drugs not indicated in the management of obesity, articles sold outside the normal legal circuit, methods without real scientific analyzes and controls can lead to health risks. . They are therefore to be avoided!
Thus, she announces that we must not believe in miraculous promises, that we must remain suspicious of methods that promise and sell easy and rapid weight loss with an obvious rebound effect. Indeed, the magic wand does not exist .
The fact that the ANSM makes obese people aware of the attention to be given to scams of all kinds, suggests that these are more and more numerous, multiple and varied.
However, an effective active ingredient is on the horizon
While for Mysimba®, the ANSM had put, in April 2015, the “kidna” while decrying in its reports, the side effects of this compound a priori too close to amphetamines to be trivial, three months after this same agency recommends an active ingredient that seems effective in supporting weight loss: liraglutide.
Initially recommended in the treatment of diabetes, this molecule is now part of the composition of Sadenxa®. You should know that liraglutide has a similar action as one of our natural hormones: incretin which is secreted during food intake by the digestive tract. This stimulates the secretion of insulin and thereby increases the feeling of satiety and therefore limits food intake . Thus, by this principle of action, Sadenxa® in the overweight subject allows the loss of the installed kilos. But is it really comfortable in the long run? Are these pills not detrimental to the state of health?
The subjects who absorb these medicinal substances must also ask the question since it is found that those who follow this kind of prescription do not exceed 3 years and give up before this fateful period.
It is a fact to emphasize, it is that the researchers of this recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine recommend to maintain a healthy lifestyle so that the device to fight against overweight is optimized to the maximum.
Thus, it is desirable here to recall a few basic “anti-kilo” rules with the good weather set in: no longer follow draconian diets, stop playing “yoyo” in terms of sport or food hygiene, no longer let yourself seduce by the sweet siren song of miracle products and/or methods, have a balanced lifestyle and practice physical activity.
