Junior high school students buy drugs privately and eat for several months
Mr. Wang told reporters that his son is 13 years old and is in his first year of junior high school. "At the end of last month, the child's performance at school is a bit abnormal, reluctant to go to the toilet, the teacher after checking, found that he had a lot of hormonal drugs in his desk." This discovery surprised Mr. Wang, and only after he pursued the matter did he learn that the child had secretly purchased spironolactone tablets, progesterone and estradiol valerate tablets (trade name supplement Jiale) at a pharmacy since July this year, and had been taking them in excessive doses for a long time, and was now experiencing serious physical and psychological problems.
"Only after we pressed know that the child's body began to develop, there are some physical changes, but he is very resistant inside, so through the network to find out that some drugs can relieve his anxiety, eat after the body will be comfortable, go to the drugstore to buy drugs." Mr. Wang said, but these are prescription drugs, without a doctor's prescription can not be sold casually. "The child is only 13 years old, usually wears a school uniform, the sales staff of the pharmacy actually sold him the drug, and more than one pharmacy!" Mr. Wang was very angry.
It is understood that estradiol valerate tablets are prescription drugs for post-menopausal menopausal symptoms to make up for estrogen deficiency. Spironolactone tablets, on the other hand, have an androgen-suppressing effect. "After we found out the problem, we immediately took the child to the hospital for a checkup, and it has been found that the child has breast development and shrinking sexual organs, which made us all crack up!" Mr. Wang said that the child also has serious psychological problems, irritability and self-harming tendencies, and academic performance has also fallen off. The child's mother, Ms. Li, recently had to take time off from work to take care of the child.

More than one pharmacy has sold drugs to children
Mr. Wang told reporters that they now know from the child's mouth that he bought these drugs in a total of three different pharmacies. But because they were all purchased by cash and left no proof, only one pharmacy has admitted to selling the medicine to the child, while the others refuse to admit it.
"An adult to buy cold medicine, are required to ID registration and address. Do pharmacies not know what is prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs? Is it possible to sell such hormone-based drugs to children at will!" Mr. Wang said that the child has now developed a serious drug dependence, "My child is considered ruined!" He told reporters that he had previously negotiated with one of the pharmacies and asked for compensation, but the other side refused, which made him even more angry.
At present, he has complained to the relevant departments, to get an explanation for the child, and does not rule out the legal way to obtain the corresponding compensation. "At the moment, what we can do on the one hand is to actively give the child treatment, on the other hand, I also hope that those who sell drugs to children's pharmacies get the punishment they deserve!"
