On Instagram, TikTok or Youtube, some young women have an obsession: to have “shapes”, that is to say voluminous buttocks and breasts, a goal that they achieve by means of an over-the-counter drug at less than 10 euros a box.
They call themselves “the skinny” and dream of an hourglass-shaped body. On social networks, women who find themselves “too thin” praise the merits of an anti-allergy drug that they divert to gain weight quickly and especially “buttocks”ignoring the risks associated with this misuse.
On Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, these young women are obsessed with having “curves”, that is to say, voluminous buttocks and breasts. A goal that they achieve by means of an over-the-counter drug at less than 10 euros a box, and which they do without the name: Periactin (from the Teofarma laboratory). “I who no longer ate, I’m always hungry, even in my bed I eat”, testifies one of them. “It works too well, it makes you fat right away”.
The before/following photos attest to spectacular weight gains in just a few weeks. Problem: Periactin (which has cyproheptadine as its active ingredient) is not a dietary supplement but a medicine for people with allergies.
In a statement at the end of March, the French Society of Pharmacology and Therapeutics (SFPT) warned of this phenomenon, considering that “the benefit/risk ratio of cyproheptadine should be reassessed with a view to withdrawing its marketing authorization or minimum of its inclusion on a mandatory prescription list”. Cyproheptadine is a “very old drug, marketed in France since the 1960s, which has been overtaken by much more efficient molecules and is no longer prescribed”, explains to AFP Dr. Laurent Chouchana, in charge of pharmacovigilance. of this molecule and member of the SFPT.
