Hello, this is Dr. Cho Young-min.

Today, regarding the widely used diet pill

I would like to talk to you about phentermine.

It's nicknamed the 'butterfly pill,' and the price isn't very expensive, and

Since it has the effect of suppressing appetite,

It is widely used at places that prescribe obesity medications.

This is a photo of Dietamin, the most widely used one.

It really is a pill shaped like a butterfly.

Many people take only half a pill depending on their body weight, so maybe it was made butterfly-shaped to make it easy to cut..

That's just my own private guess :)

To begin with, its efficacy is quite good.

by stimulating the secretion of NE (norepinephrine) in the appetite center of the hypothalamus,

which is how it suppresses appetite.

It is usually taken in the morning, and

You can think of it as a scenario where you lose weight by eating less at dinner.

But today I'm not here to explain this medication.

about the serious side effects of this appetite suppressant

I'm writing this out of a strong wish to get the word out.

First, mood changes occur.

Although they act through the same mechanism,

In some people it lifts the mood and brings a state brimming with confidence, but

in others it produces a depressed state.

If your mood changes are too severe, you must stop taking the medication right away.

Second, there is insomnia.

Because symptoms related to the sympathetic nervous system appear, such as palpitations and increased blood pressure, it is easy to infer.

The most important side effect

is elevated intraocular pressure.

This is material from Asan Medical Center in Seoul.

Many people probably take an increase in intraocular pressure lightly.

Most glaucoma patients in Korea

have 'normal-tension' glaucoma.

This is when the intraocular pressure is normal, yet the nerve is gradually damaged and the condition progresses to blindness.

Accordingly, you can take it as having eyes that are vulnerable to intraocular pressure, and

On top of that, if indiscriminate diet pill use
raises your intraocular pressure,
your glaucoma may have progressed severely without you even knowing it.

I hear that the incidence of glaucoma has been rising lately among the young population (those in their 20s-30s).

I think it is most closely related to taking diet pills.

Because eye clinics seldom prescribe diet pills,

When someone is diagnosed with glaucoma, they are rarely asked whether they take diet pills.

Optic nerve damage is irreversible.

Once damaged, it never comes back.

Those who are currently taking diet pills

If anyone says they have taken appetite suppressants for about a year,

right away, at a nearby eye clinic, to see whether there is any optic nerve damage,

please get tested.

If you have high myopia, the likelihood goes up even more...

Please.. and you need to keep checking regularly.
