Chapter 244: Weight Loss Injection!

,

As soon as Lu Chen finished posting, Li Huiyan immediately replied: "Brother, is everything you said true?!!!"

Lu Chen said: "Really, but you are not particularly fat now. You should be able to lose weight if you exercise. Why are you so anxious to lose weight?"

Li Huiyan: "Brother, you understand."

"What? I don't understand!"

"Brother, haven't you found a girlfriend?"

Lu Chen: "..."

"Brother, please tell me quickly, what kind of medicine is there?!"

"Then tell me first, what diet pills have you taken?"

About ten minutes later, Lu Chen received a WeChat message from Li Huiyan.

There are probably dozens of medicines written in it.

Most of them are health supplements, which are useless if taken and have no side effects.

However, Lu Chen noticed two of the drugs, metformin and dapagliflozin.

"Cousin, you actually take two drugs, metformin and dapagliflozin?"

Li Huiyan said: "Yes, is there any problem?"

Lu Chen said: "No problem, then you haven't lost weight?"

"It worked a little bit, but it rebounded immediately."

Metformin and dapagliflozin are both hypoglycemic drugs used by diabetic patients.

However, both drugs can reduce weight.

The mechanism of metformin's weight loss may be related to suppressing appetite and food intake; improving hyperinsulinemia, reducing basal insulin and post-load insulin levels, etc.

Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (sglt-2) inhibitor, is a new oral hypoglycemic drug that has been marketed in China.

Lu Chen has seen in clinical practice that a small number of obese doctors and even celebrities use these two drugs in combination to lose weight.

The combination of these two drugs should be considered relatively common.

"Both of these drugs are useless." Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh, "My little cousin is too powerful!"

"Brother, what about the other methods you mentioned?"

Li Huiyan kept asking Lu Chen.

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Injections to lose weight."

"Slimming injections?" Li Huiyan took a long time before replying, "Brother, you are not a quack, are you? There is no such thing!"

Lu Chen: "..."

Since his cousin didn't believe him, Lu Chen didn't care, so he put down his phone and entered the system's virtual space with a thought.

…

Jiangcheng Central Hospital, Emergency Department Observation Room.

Li Huiyan lay down and put it on, her stomach pain relieved before.

At this moment, she was holding her cell phone and staring at the conversation with Lu Chen in trance.

"Why hasn't my cousin replied to me yet?"

"Should I ask him again?"

"But weight-loss injections, are they reliable? I'm most afraid of injections..."

Seeing Lu Chen's delay in replying, Li Huiyan finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother, are you here?"

"Brother, tell me quickly."

"Brother...I want weight-loss injections..."

Lu Chen, who was in the system's virtual space, was also disturbed by a series of WeChat messages from Li Huiyan.

He opened WeChat helplessly.

"Have you ever heard of liraglutide?"

"No." Li Huiyan said.

"This drug is also a hypoglycemic drug and is a glp receptor agonist. It can reduce food intake and delay gastric emptying. Abroad, there are already indications for weight loss in the instructions, but in China, weight loss has not yet been included in the instructions. Instructions. The most important thing is that with this medicine, you can eat normally without going on a diet. "

"Brother, just tell me how much weight this medicine can reduce, right?"

Lu Chen said: "According to some papers I read, some clinical research results show that glp-1 analogues can make patients lose 1-4kg, or even more, and some people even lose dozens of kilograms."

"Are there any side effects?" Li Huiyan asked.

"Yes! The most common thing is diarrhea, and some people get acute pancreatitis!"

"You can use it a few times first and stop if you have any side effects!"

Lu Chen also knew that his cousin had a stubborn personality.

Instead of always preventing her from taking medicine, it is better to tell her directly about the regular weight loss medicine to prevent her from taking other medicines randomly and eventually causing more serious problems.

Drugs such as liraglutide have been studied by large institutions and have weight loss indications written into the instructions.

Although these drugs have side effects, they are controllable and predictable.

"Thank you bro!"

"But if you still can't lose weight after taking this kind of medicine, then you should give up on taking weight-loss medicine. It's basically impossible."

"I understand." Li Huiyan finally got the answer she wanted from Lu Chen.

In order to lose weight, she really tried every means, but she was unwilling to exercise or control her diet.

"Huiyan, you should also know the best way to lose weight. Keep your mouth shut and open your legs. Medication can never replace thank you." Lu Chen said, "Otherwise, it will be easy to rebound, and these medicines will have no effect in the future."

"Don't worry, I'll start to control my diet after I lose some weight first."

Li Huiyan sent Lu Chen a smiley face, then closed WeChat and started looking for information about "liraglutide" at night.

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly, hoping that his little cousin could lose weight.

After the incident involving his little cousin, Lu Chen re-entered the system virtual space and began training in "clinical scientific research".

…

A night of silence.

The next day, when Lu Chen opened his eyes, he received a WeChat message from his cousin Li Huiyan.

She is doing fine and has been discharged from the hospital.

Aunt Lu Yufen also sent a thank you message to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen glanced at it and did not reply.

The fewer such things happen, the better. They are all owed to him.

After washing up, he had breakfast.

The weather is good today, but the paths in the hospital are full of people.

There are still many people coming to see the doctor!

As soon as Lu Chen walked out of the dormitory door, he received a message from Li Yao.

"Wang Shasha has something to do today, so you don't go to the ward and accompany me to the outpatient clinic."

Lu Chen immediately replied: "Okay."

Professor Li Yao has one day of outpatient clinic time every week.

Sun Guoguo will arrange shifts for all the master's students, and each of them will accompany Li Yao to the outpatient clinic for one month.

According to the order, it should be Wang Shasha's turn.

But she has been busy with her thesis recently, so Lu Chen temporarily took over.

As Lu Chen walked towards the outpatient building, he sent a WeChat handover message to Sun Guoguo, explaining his current management of patients.

...

This is Lu Chen's first outpatient clinic.

Arriving at the outpatient building, Lu Chen found that the outpatient building was crowded.

People were crowded together.

There was no way, Jinghua Second Hospital was the leading hospital, concentrating most of the medical resources.

Patients from surrounding counties and cities, as long as they had difficult and complicated diseases, would run to Jinghua Second Hospital.

Lu Chen pushed through the crowd with difficulty and came to the second floor where the cardiology clinic was located.

Walking into Room 3 of the Cardiovascular Medicine Clinic, UU Reading ｗww.ｕukanshu.ｎeｔ It was 7:40 in the morning, and Professor Li Yao had not arrived yet.

Lu Chen turned on the computer, logged into the outpatient medical record system, and entered Professor Li Yao's account.

"Excuse me, is Professor Li Yao here?"

At this time, an old lady about 70 years old walked into the ward tremblingly.

"Grandma, Professor Li hasn't come yet, please wait outside for a while." Lu Chen said.

However, the old lady obviously didn't listen to Lu Chen's words, walked in directly, and put the bag of medicine in her hand on the table.

"I just want to ask, how should these drugs for coronary heart disease be taken?"

Lu Chen looked at the bag and crawled open the medicine box to take a look.

There was no aspirin or Betaloc.

They were all "Tibetan medicine"!
