Mother told about poisoning of her son with the weight loss drug "Molecule"
The mother of a 13-year-old schoolboy from St. Petersburg, who ended up in intensive care after consuming a dietary supplement for weight loss "Molecule", Diana shared with Izvestia the details of what happened.
She explained that his friend had given the drug to the boy, and he had been taking it for two days.
"One pill is enough, the medicine is not intended for children, it was on free leave. Therefore, something must be done <...> so that children do not have access to this," the woman said on May 1.
Diana also noted that there are serious behavioral changes when using pills. According to her, her son showed increased excitability and anxiety. When the teenager's condition deteriorated sharply, the woman called an ambulance.
On the same day, it became known that the child actor of the children's studio of the St. Petersburg Musical Drama Theater "Blue Bird" was admitted to the intensive care unit with an overdose after using weight loss drugs "Molecule". According to the Izvestia source, he was hospitalized with acute poisoning with a substance of psychotropic effect.
On April 16, Izvestia found out during the investigation that the weight loss drugs "Molecule" and "Molecule Plus", which gained popularity thanks to videos on the TikTok social network, contain sibutramine. At the same time, the instructions indicate that the composition of the dietary supplement contains only natural herbal ingredients.
The victim Polina Khlypovka, who took the "Molecule" pills for weight loss, shared on the same day in an interview with Izvestia that she was "at her maximum weight" as a result of using the drug. The girl took pills for two months, suffering from unbearable thirst and sweating.
