   Chapter 248 Slimming needles!

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

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

  Li Huiyan: "Brother, you understand."

   "What? I don't understand!"

   "Brother, didn't you find a girlfriend?"

  Lu Chen: "..."

   "Brother, 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 the WeChat message from Li Huiyan.

There are probably dozens of drugs written in   .

  Most of them are health supplements, they are useless and have no side effects.

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

   "Cousin, are you still taking two drugs, metformin and dapagliflozin?"

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

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

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

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

   Both of these drugs can reduce weight.

  Mechanism of weight loss of metformin may be related to appetite suppression, food intake; improvement of hyperinsulinemia, reduction of basal insulin and post-load insulin levels, etc.

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

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

   The combination of these two drugs should be considered relatively common, and the effect is not bad.

   "These two drugs are actually useless." Lu Chen couldn't help sighing, "My little cousin is too powerful!"

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

   Li Huiyan kept asking Lu Chen.

  Lu Chen thought about it and said, "I need an injection to lose weight."

   "Slimming needles?" Li Huiyan was stunned for a long time before replying, "Brother, are you not a quack doctor? How can there be such a thing!"

  Lu Chen: "..."

  Since his cousin didn't believe in him, and Lu Chen didn't care, he put down his phone, moved his thoughts, and entered the system virtual space.

  …

  Jiangcheng Central Hospital, emergency department observation room.

   Li Huiyan was lying and putting it on, her stomach pain was relieved.

   At this time, she was holding her phone and staring at the dialogue with Lu Chen.

   "Why doesn't my cousin reply to me?"

   "Should I ask him again?"

   "But weight loss injections, is this reliable? I'm most afraid of injections..."

   Seeing that Lu Chen didn't reply, Li Huiyan finally couldn't help it.

   "Brother, are you there?"

   "Brother, tell me now."

   "Brother...I want a weight loss needle..."

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

   He reluctantly opened WeChat.

   "Have you heard of liraglutide?"

   "No." Li Huiyan said.

"This drug is also a hypoglycemic drug, a GLP receptor agonist, which can reduce food intake and delay gastric emptying. In foreign countries, there are already indications for weight loss on the instructions, but in China, there are currently no indications for weight loss. Write it into the instructions. The most important thing is that with this medicine, you can eat normally without deliberately dieting."

   "Brother, just say, how much weight can this medicine reduce?"

  Lu Chen said: "According to some papers I read, some clinical research results show that GLP-1 analogs can reduce the weight of patients by 1-4kg, or even more! There are people who have lost dozens of pounds."

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

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

   "You can use it a few times first, and stop if there are side effects!"

  Lu Chen also knew that his cousin was stubborn.

   Instead of keeping her from taking medicine, it is better to tell her the regular diet pills directly, so as to prevent her from taking other medicines indiscriminately and eventually have more serious problems.

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

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

   "Thank you bro!"

   "But if you use this medicine and still can't lose weight, then you should die of the idea of ​​using weight loss medicines. Basically, it is impossible to lose weight with medicines."

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

   In order to lose weight, she really tried all kinds of methods, but she was reluctant to exercise and control her diet.

   "Huiyan, you should also know the best way to lose weight. Keep your mouth shut and open your legs. Drugs can never replace thank you." Lu Chen said, "Otherwise, it will easily rebound, and these drugs will be useless in the future."

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

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

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

  After passing through the little disturbance of his cousin, Lu Chen re-entered the virtual space of the system and started training in "clinical research".

  …

   was speechless all night.

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

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

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

  Lu Chen glanced, but did not reply.

   This kind of thing, the less the better, all owed to him.

  After washing up, we had breakfast.

  The weather is nice today, but the hospital trail is full of people.

   There are still many people who come to see a doctor!

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

   "Today Wang Shasha has something to do, so you won't go to the ward, but accompany me to the outpatient clinic."

  Lu Chen immediately replied: "Okay."

   Instructor Li Yao goes out to the clinic one day a week.

  Sun Guoguo will arrange shifts for all the postgraduate students, and each will accompany Li Yao to the outpatient clinic for a month.

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

   But she was busy with the thesis recently, so she temporarily let Lu Chen take over.

   As Lu Chen walked towards the outpatient building, he sent Senior Sister Sun Guoguo a WeChat message about the shift.

   briefly explained his current management of patients.

  …

   This is Lu Chen's first outpatient clinic.

   Came to the outpatient building, Lu Chen found that the outpatient building was full of people.

  People go after people, people crowd people.

   There is no way, Jinghua Second Hospital is the leading hospital, which concentrates most of the medical resources.

  Patients from surrounding counties and cities will go to Jinghua Second Hospital as long as they have intractable diseases.

  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 Internal Medicine Clinic, it was 7:40 in the morning, and tutor Li Yao had not arrived yet.

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

   "Excuse me, is Professor Li Yao there?"

   At this moment, an old woman of about seventy years old stood tremblingly at the door.

   "Mother-in-law, Professor Li hasn't come yet, please wait outside for a while." Lu Chen said.

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

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

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

   No aspirin, no betaloc.

   is actually some "Tibetan medicine"!
