根据卫生科学局今日(10日)发布的文告,网购平台出现四款减肥产品,含有伤害人体健康的违禁成分或泻药,若食用可产生严重副作用,提醒民众不要购买和服用。

这四款产品为:

  1. Nutriline Thinsline,含违禁西布曲明(Sibutramine)
  2. KiMiSo黑巧克力,含西布曲明和抗组胺剂(Diphenhydramine)
  3. Wholly Fitz百香果柠檬,含西布曲明
  4. Nutriline Cleansline,含泻药(Sennoside)
  5. 早在2010年,新加坡就已禁止西布曲明的使用,原因是它会增加心脏病或中风风险,至于抗组胺剂 Diphenhydramine可导致嗜睡症状,若消费者服用后驾驶或操作重型机械,后果不堪设想。

事缘一名女性消费者申诉,在服用Nutriline Thinsline出现极度口渴、心律失常、食欲不振等症状。当局曾在2017年6月,就发现该款产品,以及另一款Bluvelle含有西布曲明。

该局也已对相关卖家发出警告,并要求网购平台撤下相关产品。若有商家售卖违禁产品,可被提控上庭,一旦罪名成立,可能面对长达两年的监禁、罚款高达一万元,或两者兼施。

卫生科学局仍强调,减肥没捷径,应该通过均衡饮食和适量运动来控制体重。

如有发现类似违禁产品售卖,也可拨打6866 3485或通过电邮卫生科学局爆料。
