Those lawsuits are not going to go anywhere. People are abusing these drugs.
Ozempic has made a huge difference in my diabetes management. My endocrinologist was good about going through side effects, including constipation, which is common. In addition, I investigated possible side effects on my own. Ultimately, people have to be their own advocates, including not using medications off-label.
They did list these side effects…y’all wouldn’t care if it said your leg might fall off as long as it makes you lose weight. Then you wanna cry and complain when the side effects kick in. I bet she never even read the side effects before taking the medication.
My aunt is diabetic and takes it. She hasn’t had any problems and it has greatly helped her diabetes. She was surprised to see that non diabetics were taking it,especially ones that you would not consider obese. If you decide to take these meds for weight loss and don’t take into consideration the risks,then that’s on you!
I’m dumbfounded that people are shocked that there are side effects with medication. All medications have side effects. They are looking into these minimal claims to see if there is a cause and effect. I highly doubt she lost over 100 lbs, as these drugs might help someone drop 15-22% of their body weight. People need to use common sense. You still need to eat healthy and exercise to the best of your ability.
I have gastroparesis and knew immediately when I saw the first commercial that it was basically inducing it. I can understand the appeal though…my metabolism is screwed up from years of steroids, on and off malnutrition, and hormones. Plus, the condition that caused my GP severely affects my mobility. Medication assisted weight loss has its place but the problem comes in where it’s simply overweight people using these medications and not people who are obese. Don’t just blindly trust what people tell you to do, even your doctor.
I never wanted to use meds or surgery to lose weight. Didn't want side effects. Just went Keto and exercised. My diabetes is in remission and I lost over 200 lbs. Took a lot longer but my weight has been steady for over 1.5 years now. I am maintaining.
I take this for my diabetes. It is not a weight loss drug and has not been widely tested on people who do not have diabetes, so of course, someone without the condition would have side effects. 🤦🏾♀️
It was created for diabetics, not for weight loss, sue the DRs prescribing it to non-diabetic patients.
Those who are using it for weight loss should not be able to sue…
I’m actually on it for diabetes but I do agree with the lack of emptying bowels. I’m not constipated but I don’t go everyday normally now I have to take a stool softener to go frequently. Also blurry vision, headaches, dehydration so I double up on pedilyte , Gatorade and coconut water. My ammonia levels were high once until I started hydrating myself. So it’s a risk but I felt worse when the diabetes consumed my life.
How did she think the drug worked lol. It literally slows everything down
I am a Type 2 Diabetic and been battling a fatty liver since 2016. Started Ozempic in January 2023 and lost 30lbs. My labs are perfect for the first time in over 15 years. The risk is worth the reward. It does cause constipation but I added more fiber to my diet and eat more protein for the muscle loss. If used correctly and only as needed....aka only take the dose you need instead of going straight to 2.0, you'll be fine. I started at .25 and now steady at 1.0 with no intentions on going up in dosage. This is my experience and it's all positive!
As a Nurse I’m seeing this mostly in people who aren’t even considered Obese. Not saying it’s not happening in others who are…I’m just saying from my experience. They are using and abusing it when they are thin just with a little flab here and there
I been on Mounjaro for months and have had zero side effects. That’s so unfortunate for the people who are suffering with it.
Weight loss shortcuts are rarely without problems.
How you gonna use a medication for the wrong reason then sue for side effects.
My doc offered me this. I read the list of side effects and told him I would intermittent fast. It helped a lot. No side effects.
How can they have a case in court if there are warning labels?!?
I'm a caregiver for an elderly man who can no longer get Ozempic for his diabetes because others are using it for weight loss - and of course now they're complaining.
