There is no increase in drug

20 June, the State food and drug administration in charge of solemnly warned consumers: related sector had never been there increased functionality and approval of drugs, where the claims that there is increased functionality of drugs are false propaganda.

In this news announcement of the previous day, China Central television's "weekly quality report" program to detailed survey reveals increase in medicine "," representation of — the "Harvard generation MacLeod" scams. The investigation showed that since May last year, it declared that the "3 months to act, said Minister Minister" of the drug is "hot" nearly 20 million boxes. But in fact, the so-called "new medicine" in the United States increased is ordinary dietary supplement 5-d-lysine tablets.

For a time, "increasing drug" has become a social focus. Many people have had this question: is there is no increase in medicine?

"Increase drug" how to cheat

For most people, the child is a good build prerequisites. In order to have the ideal height, many young people and their parents can be said to be stretched, and all kinds of pressure on the market of products is their target customers. According to the last March 15, CCTV special program reported that a validated no effect of increased product sold a shopping center in Beijing, two days sold 37 million! consumers of such products in the "favorite". In this class of product, the "drug" because "increased economic and convenient, no pain", became the first choice of many people.

"Increasing drug" popular, their commercials are seen everywhere. In many local television stations, newspaper clips page, a pharmacy counter, unable to see their shadows, increase the "magic" and "long high is no longer a dream," and other inflammatory of advertisements is such advertising means most major publicity.

This reporter has learned that "increasing drug" mainly has following several deceptive tricks:

1. the claim to be "high-tech product" and "foreign". For example, $ 500 for a box of "green power capsule", that their "United States Jiarui de biochemical technology co., Ltd. developed by increasing product." This reporter has learned that, last year, the drug's false advertising has been halted.

2. claims to have your own product, 20-year-old above can also be increased. This is the "rising drug generic slogan". For example, there is a call "high Lomi" medicine and you played "the 25-year-old young people to take more than half year consecutively, it can take between 3 and 10 cm high" hoodwink ". Some drugs may even claim that a person under the age of 30 are available.

3. flaunted got famous universities, authoritative institution and even financing. "Harvard generation MacLeod," declared by Harvard University's research and development investment 2.5 billion, also said that the national authorities and institutions in charge of the recommendation.

"Increasing drug" do not help the young people

"These so-called ' increasing drug ' say they are high-tech products, but they just contain nutrients such as calcium, amino acids and vitamins. These nutrients are indeed the bone growth needs, but this is not to say that had they long, nor can prove that the product has increased functionality. "Reporters, China child development centre's song guanglin Professor say," bone also contain large amounts of water, the water is also increasing function? "

Professor song that currently, recourse to the "drug" increased mostly young people, it is seen by many "increase drug" claimed to be able to help several years 20 or even 30 years long. But in fact, any medication can help them grow taller. In human growth and development, bone growth continued in the metaphyses of the long bones at both ends, so that the bones of long standing. No matter how tall or short, women after the age of 18, 20-year-old males in the future, the vast majority are closed metaphyseal and higher. Therefore, those who advocate all ages can increase of drug, "is not scientific, it is not credible."

Only a very small number of "short" need treatment

Although "medicine" are on the increase of deceitful, but there are many high is still relatively short person of the child's wishes: is there really an effective increase in law?

Professor Song guanglin told reporters that a very small number of "short," are you sure can treatment improve height. A pituitary dwarfism. This part of the patients in the 1-year-old future growth will slow down, but intellectual development is normal, this is caused by the lack of growth hormone in the body, they simply closed metaphyseal before growth hormone therapy, can then grow taller. My pet peeves is cretinism, also known as congenital hypothyroidism. Such patients stature, mental retardation. But if you were born three months was diagnosed, and begin treatment, its height can grow and healthy people, intelligence is not affected.

Ordinary people can take higher growth hormone and thyroxine? Professor song made it clear that's impossible. He said, not sick, not only taking these hormones can increase, but can have serious side effects: such as heartbeat, blood pressure, endocrine disorders and cardiovascular system.

Professor song also pointed out that, at present, is tall and thin model became the symbol of beauty, this is not normal. Because from the physiological standpoint, tall man is too far away from the heart of limbs, would increase the burden on the heart, may lead to health problems. He smiled and told reporters that if you look at it this way, many think is so short, actually have much more than the tall ideal figure.
