00:00A viral video of a woman who can't open one eye after having her glutes pressed as a whitening cream.

00:09Although the condition is not directly related to the glutes,

00:14the Philippine Dermatological Society is still concerned about using it as a whitening cream.

00:22Darlene Khan is on the case.

00:25I made a video asking for prayers for my post-recovery and awareness.

00:33In a viral online video of Jelly Macha, she is accused of having her glutes pressed as she can't open her eyes.

00:40I had an infection in my glute drip session.

00:43The nurse who pressed me didn't know.

00:46First, she pressed me here.

00:48She took the needle and my root popped right away.

00:53She tried again here and it popped again.

00:57After two days,

00:59it hurts so much.

01:01I can't stop it anymore.

01:02I was taken to the ER.

01:04I took vinegar.

01:06In the new video, Jelly was able to open one eye.

01:09According to her ophthalmologist, she had an infection and nerves were affected in her eyes.

01:15My vision now, my concern,

01:17I was able to open my eyes but

01:20as you can see in the eyeball,

01:23I was able to see a bit but I saw three things.

01:26According to the board certified ophthalmologist I talked to, Dr. Ethos Yutangco,

01:30Generally, IV drugs, glute for example,

01:36generally do not cause infections

01:40except if the drug or the needle used is contaminated.

01:47The needle, the paraphernalia used to insert the drug.

01:52I did not see an infection,

01:56an IV gluta-related infection in my eyes

02:01that was directly caused by the IV gluta.

02:04However, the Food and Drug Administration of the FDA has not yet approved

02:08gluta-drip or gluta-IV as a skin lightening agent or whitening agent.

02:12IV glutathione has only been approved by the FDA for

02:16the mitigation of the side effects of chemotherapy

02:20from cisplatin, they call it neurotoxicity.

02:23As for those who may be affected by thyroid, stones, and liver.

02:26It can be toxicity, abnormalities,

02:29gastritis, kidney failure,

02:32severe skin problems, side effects, allergies.

02:37It is also dangerous for other types of IV drip,

02:40such as vitamin C drip.

02:42If the dose is too high, at some point,

02:44the urine can become too acidic and cause kidney stones.

02:48It is different if the doctor prescribed gluta-drip

02:51because it can ease the symptoms of pain like Candy's rheumatic fever.

02:55When I was not yet diagnosed with autoimmune disease,

03:00I started using gluta-drip because my hands,

03:03my both hands, hurt.

03:07I can't bend.

03:08It always hurts.

03:10Since I started using gluta-drip,

03:14it doesn't hurt anymore.

03:16This is only considered as a medicine for cancer.

03:20We consider it as cancer medicine.

03:23If it is used as a whitening agent,

03:26it is definitely not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

03:29Since 2019,

03:3020 million pesos worth of illegal whitening products

03:34were approved by the FDA as gluta-drip.

03:36There are oral glutathione products

03:38or ingested glutathione registered in the FDA.

03:41But it can't be promoted as a whitening agent.

03:44The Department of Health has previously

03:46prohibited the use of glutathione as a whitening agent.
