Fake Weight-Loss Injections Cause Comas | Amsterdam News

Two Dutch patients fell into comas after injecting fake weight-loss drugs bought online—containing deadly insulin instead of real ingredients. Hospitals are sounding the alarm as poison centers report a near-doubling of cases tied to these counterfeit injections, fueled by a shortage of legitimate drugs. Both victims, a 54-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman, suffered dangerous drops in blood sugar, risking seizures, brain damage, or coma. Health officials warn against buying any injectables from unverified online sources—these are prescription-only and must come from licensed pharmacies. Always inspect packaging for spelling errors, wrong serial numbers, or foreign-language labels as potential red flags.
