I took Ozempic for 1 year. I am not overweight. I am diabetic. I now have Gastroparisis. Food is my enemy now 😢
Lord ,I pray you get better.
Heal your gut! That is what is wrong. Look it up
I feel sorry for diabetics who took Ozempic and have gastro paresis now, but for those women who are just vain and took ozempic because they were ten pounds overweight, it serves them right.
My gawd😢 hope things work out for you
@@user-my8bb6nc1xI can’t believe doctors would prescribe medicine for that little weight loss. I assumed the people using it were all diabetics or over 100lbs overweight.
(Nurse here): New meds are inherently dangerous because we lack longitudinal data. If pharma and medical professionals were 100% transparent, people could make informed decisions on if it is worth the risk. It sounds as though this woman's case was handled poorly, her condition was not identified by her doctor, and her knowledge of side effects was lacking. If people know the potential side effects (read the inserts you toss when you pick up your needs) and opt to take the med regardless, the company can argue that liability falls to the patient.
I hope this helps people choose lifestyle changes before reaching for a pill or injection. Remember, medications are inherently risk business and the more types you take the higher your risk for complications. Meds compete in the liver to be metabolized and can circulate longer than is therapeutically safe.
Educate yourselves or become victims. Much love to those suffering because of big pharma. ❤
25% of the drugs approved by the FDA are later recalled. Most of their funding comes directly from the pharmaceutical companies. Most of the people who sit on the board of the FDA later go on to work for the pharmaceutical companies. Of course they're more inclined to approve dangerous and under-tested drugs. It's not about public health. It's about money.
I'll also add go to the website if the insert is too small to read.
@@Jane-yg3vz, my guess is both: money and little history of side effects😢.

Designer drugs are for profit and cause the problems that allow them to bill healthcare for billions.
She waited 2 years to be told to stop taking the garbage 🤦♀️ people need to STOP relying on white coats for life decisions. Just insane
People don't want to believe that they can't trust doctors. A lawyer told me this is why it's very hard to sue for malpractice and win.
@onewayturtles my last bit of trust disintegrated when my family doctor of 23 years told me my breastmilk provides no immunity support to my baby after 3 months old. Truth... he lied to try to convince me to not delay vaccination. I will always seek confirmation and more detailed information no matter who's hearing the white coat. I wish more people would wake up to how the systems of society are operated..including Healthcare
Always trust your own body. She shouldn’t have waited for a doctor to tell her to stop. You know something is making you sick, make your own decision and stop.
Yeah, not gonna lie. If med is causing that he'll, stop taking it sooner
They should listen to the black socks.
They need to stop prescribing this drug unnecessarily
The . Should be after the word drug.
@@homemade6950 what????are you ok?
@@princessmariposa828it's a diabetes drug and she's diabetic. She wasn't taking it to lose weight. It was prescribed as necessary.
some freaks say this drug is great. so why is it that so many people have become very ill taking it. and why do the celebs who have taken it look AWFUL. do the maths.
You don’t need prescription
doctors don't care and don't even do the bare minimum anymore. why bother when you can see a patient for 5 minutes, bill them for 40, and then ignore them.
And it's the companies pushing doctors to see many patients for 5-minute appointments, and the pharmaceutical companies pushing doctors to prescribe certain meds.
Drive through health care.
@@alisong2328this one doc tried to push depression meds on me just because I had ibs . I’m going to be 32 and he asked me if I was depressed ? I’m like “yeah, because I have ibs and no I don’t want meds I love music and will find a hobby and change my diet”
Big pharma has it set up that way!
I'm a retired emergency department RN. The health care "provided" today is absolutely horrible. Empathy and compassion are truly a thing of the past. I'm so thankful I'm no longer practicing in this "care giver" environment.
My doctor prescribed this for me. I went hunting online for side-effects and called the pharmacy and told them to cancel the prescription. No thanks! Their risk/benefit scale is not MY risk/benefit scale. It's YOUR health and life you RISK.
Doctors do NOT tell patients of the bad side effects they might get from any drug. It is down to YOU to do your research.
Same
@@nancybreaux9684took it 4 times one day I felt something terrible 😩 was happening to me never again will take it😢
I know a woman, who has diabetes and weight gain. She searched online and found this drug got used by many celebrities for weight loss. She asked her doc for it.
She suffered with side effects like bad diarrhea and something else I don't remember. But she was happy she lost weight because she didn't eat much and she LOVES it.
I don't know if she has this bad side effect, now.
Good for you canceling it. I’ve had to do that too once
Years from now who knows what side effects there will be.
I bet it will make the children from these parents be born with missing t-cells that would allow them to store fat or metabolize food.
I am legend anyone? :P
They will never take this off the market 😂
Ozempic is not a new drug. It’s been used already for more than two decades for diabetes. The approval for weight
loss is new once they noticed patients were losing weight while taking it. The drug is safe for most patients. No drug, including birth control, is safe for everyone. People have been unalived with something as simple as eye drops. All drugs can be abused or misused.
I do: Bad. Real bad.
This is the 21st century Phen Fen. Remember that?
I lost two friends from fen fen back in the day. Way too sad.
I do.
When I first heard about Ozempuc I had the same thought
Too many don’t remember
Phen phen is still on the market today. Still being prescribed for weight loss.
Women need to learn that you cannot lose tons of weight by taking a pill. You need to get off any medication that causes weight gain or stops weight loss such as steroids, and hit the gym. And stop pigging out.
I was prescribed Ozempic for diabetes. It was obvious I didn’t tolerate the drug in weeks and contacted my Dr. immediately and stopped taking it.
they mentioned a person in the story that only took it one time and her stomach is ruined for life.
@@jazziez6467 - That is good information to keep in mind. Unfortunately, that person does not compare to the lady in this video's experience. She was on it for two years and according to the reporter had many problems to the point she became very frail while still continuing to take Ozempic.
That is what I would have done.
OMGoodness, me too!! I didn't go no further than a week, yuck!
You can't wait for the doctor to agree with you, help yourself and stop taking drugs that are harming you! Take care of yourself!
My wife was recently prescribed Wegovy for weight loss but our insurance wouldn’t pay for it. Thank goodness.
Why not just change what you eat ?
@@evolman6661idk some people just would like to to the drug. I’m not sure exactly why . I try to diet it’s personally hard . My insurance won’t cover this drug also . But with someone celebrity photos that came out not looking so healthy I wouldn’t get it even if doctor recommended. At the end of the day it’s just recommendations
@@evolman6661 It's not always that simple. Differences in metabolism and many other factors can be at play. If it were that simple, don't you think everyone would be thin?
@@evolman6661 Have you ever heard of thyroid issues? Changing what you eat won't make you lose weight, neither will working out.
@@Leslie_KnopeI mean, it won’t solve the issue, but of course it will help. There’s far too many people giving up because of a medical issue. My mom literally doesn’t have a thyroid, and has to put serious work in to stay well. It’s a lot of work and most people would rather just take the easy way out.
What ticks me off is that this is a result of Doctors working for pharmaceutical companies. Male doctors for decades, and to this very day, do not want to address a woman's hormones. A highly considerable amount of overweight women are overweight due to menopause, peri-menopause and just plain hormonal changes. Diabetes is a HORMONE issue. So doctors, hospitals, insurance companies do not want to address hormonal issues in women because it would seriously impact their bottom line. Women have to fight like hell to be healthy. We have to pay more for healthier food, we have to spend more time shopping (which if you have children is impossible) for fresh food, we have to take more time to read and educate ourselves on how to keep ourselves healthier. And some women have so many people roadblocking them on trying to live healthier. We fight and struggle to be healthy and the medical community just works against us.
Amen!
It’s all a way of life.
Growing up in the 60’s/70’s you didn’t hear every other commercial on the tube being a pharmaceutical one. The ads were for products, for the home etc.
THEN processed/ fast food became in high demand and now years later the body is rejecting all that shyt. Now we have every syndrome, all kinds of pills being popped, and for what?????
Folks spoke back about Targets choice of clothing, yet no one is DOING anything about the poison going in your body.
Bottom line, if you care enough, do something. If you don’t, well…..everyone’s going to die of something.
The body will thank you for it. 🥰
@@miragenesoi7026Be reminded that the symbol for doctors, healthcare, contains a snake. A snake that resembles this: $.
totally true!
With all due respect, I don't think being a woman has anything to do with anything in most cases or diabetes. Diabetes is only so much a hormone issue in the sense that insulin is classified as a hormone, but it's not a sex-specific hormone like estrogen or progesterone. It's definitely apples and oranges, especially when you consider the number of men who also have diabetes.
One of the simple things to look at with diabetes is the simple issue of carbohydrate intake. At the beginning of the video, the lady said she could only eat a couple peanuts and one cookie, which looked like a Nutter Butter. Why is she eating those cookies to begin with? Even if you don't have diabetes, the only nutritional purpose of such a food is to provide simple sugars, which a person with diabetes should be avoiding! That kind of snack is super processed and high in sugar and other things that increase inflammation in the body, increasing the risk of comorbidities from diabetes.
Even if she felt like she was unable to take in a reasonable amount of food, she should have been trying to take in something more nutritious and less unhealthy.
Allegedly this is what's happening to Oprah

As someone who has had both gastroparesis and dumping syndrome, you don’t appreciate proper digestive timing until it’s gone. Took me years to recover, with very little help from doctors!
May I ask what you did/took to recover?
Do you have diabetes?
Years of recovery without help from a doctor/doctors? That seems to be the new oath for American doctors
Sounds like you 💩 yourself
A-fucking-men
Nothing beats a clean lean diet and regular exercise
Know people who take it and cured their diabetes so…
Walking cures many illnesses!
And sunshine ☀️
You can say that again 😊
More people need to see this before it's too late.
Or just be smart about everything in general. Being aware and skeptical isn't a bad thing. What's bad is asking questions and getting gaslighted.....
Cough,,,,,,,,c19 vax
Too late is not going to change the mind of someone who wants to lose weight. Great example; cigarettes kill, second hand smoke kills, alcohol kills, processed FOOD kills, and yet nothing is being done to change those $$$$$$ industries.
Folks we only are given one body, take care of it. Mind over matter. Eat healthy, drink water, exercise….your body will thank you for it.
I agree. I have been taking this for diabetes, I have so much stomach pain now and every time I eat anything, it comes right back up!
Nonsense
Gastroparesis is transient and often the result of viral infection.
Gastroparesis from ozempic would cease on medication discontinuation
@@jeffb321 unfortunately some are not like that. I feel every drug has a side effect. I was skeptical since I first heard about it.
My sister was prescribed this for her Type 2 diabetes. She was only on it several weeks when she became severely constipated and ended up going to the ER where she had to be manually disimpacted...the doctor told her she never would have been able to have a bowel movement on her own, she was that compromised.
Type 2 diabetes is as simple as LOSING FAT through nutrition AND exercise!!! Drugs not needed!!!!!
OMG poor thing! I've had to assist patients in that manner before and it's incredibly painful for them. 😞 I hope your sister is doing better now. 🙏🏻
Did it paralyze her digestion? That’s terrible.
Wow manual disimpaction -- now that's sounds like fun. This stuff is terrible.
Is your sister still ill or did she recover?
Many decades ago, it used to take years to get a new drug approved by the FDA. But so many people screamed about waiting, about how "Europe does it!" So they eventually relaxed those laws.
Now you get drugs without long term studies, and people are "surprised" when long term effects are revealed.
People better start deciding if they want it now, or want it safe.
Except that the U.S. even still has shittier standards than Europe. The standards for medicine, self care, etc products are much better regulated in the EU. So the U.S. isn’t doing anything like the EU. It’s the same crap it just gets to market faster.
Nobody cared about this during C19. It's funny how they deemed that safe, yet Ozempic is the devil. I agree. We need long-term studies before offering these drugs.
So far, I am successfully declining any and all prescriptions. My mom died of over- prescribed blood thinners. Ask your doctor for non-pharma remedies.
@@white_devil73Some people care about the C19 therapeutics now. Especially since the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling and the Kansas lawsuit are going around on MSM.
Tell them one word: Thalidomide.
This is why medicines should NOT be allowed to advertise. The fact that we allow it because the pharmaceutical companies lobby as much as they do is so embarrassing.
Bingo! 100%
We are one of only two countries in the world where direct -to- consumer ads are legal. The other country is New Zealand.
Whenever you see a barrage of TV ads touting a new "miracle" drug, don't walk, RUN!
I’m pre diabetic, I had a choice to either take insulin like this or exercise to reverse diabetes. I choose to exercise and eat healthy and I feel awesome now and I look good.
This is NOT insulin!
No doctor gives insulin to a pre diabetic. BS!!! I am a diabetic and I take metformin and my A1c is 5.7 which is pre diabetic.
OZEMPIC IS NOT INSULIN!!!!
Look up Dr Berg he has alot of good information
Exactly!!! Congrats!!!! No ill side effects from proper nutrition and exercise!!!!
The doctors are getting a kickback by prescribing it.
Exactly
I am a veteran and receive all my care through the VA. I have been on Ozempic for almost a year due to diabetes. I was warned to drink lots of water to exercise to make sure I take enough protein. Then I will have muscle loss so I need to be proactive with that. And to make sure I get the fiber and close attention to my bowels. I have frequent check-in with my Doctor Who manages my diabetes and I have blood work and labs done every three months. I have no complications. My weight loss has level out. I did not lose an extreme amount of weight I eat like I’m supposed to exercise I’m supposed to.
Agreed everyone handles medications differently body mechanisms are not the same in everyone. I'm on it also and I've not had any problems. You just have to take care of your body
Same here. You have to workout and eat healtjy.
Thanks for the info, water, fiber protein etc. I haven't been drinking enough water. Good reminder. 😊
This happened to me last year and it has taken me months to recover. I have extreme empathy for her and others experiencing the horrible effects of this medication.
What drug were you on?
Yea tell us , what were some of the experiences you had ? Was it sudden weight loss. ?
Why on earth did she not just stop sooner, thats crazy to keep taking a med that makes you that sick 🤦🏻♀️
Right
@@TheMostHighDaughter180that’s what I don’t get. 🤷🏼♀️
They tell you it will eventually stop! 🙄😥
Gastroparesis is how Ozempic works. Not surprising it works too well for many.
Right. It is a copy of Gila Monster poison.
I believe the drug curbs hunger and induces satiety through a different mechanism. Gastroparesis is a side effect as it means paralysis of the stomach which is not intended or how the drug works.
I wouldn't wish gastroparesis on anybody. it's a horrible disease leaving you unwell and miserable all the time.
@@MRBCA500It slows down digestion but for some, too much.
@@user-rj9kj3on1xIt's actually the same hormone your own body makes (GLP-1) but some people are either inadequate or faulty.
Why were they still on it! They should have contacted their doctors and taken off it way sooner then they did!
You can stop taking it if your own free will. One year on the couch. Just say no!
exactly! She liked the weight loss! now found a lawsuit to get $$
Some patients who fully trust their doctors will ask if they can stop. And these Doctors will tell their patients that they can't just get off of medications because it can cause them serious side effects! Which I would say to them..."What do you think this is?" And I would get off that stuff and run far away from them both!
@@fanofmheahshrhghouldess1428
Exactly 👍🏾
@@fanofmheahshrhghouldess1428Do you think she planned this?
I have this illness it stinks food comes back up lots of food causes nausea bloating plus your food takes longer to digest don’t wish bowel disease on anyone
i HAVE bowel disease it is NOT the same thing as gastroparesis however my bowels are also slow. but i am already bad enough with my symptoms just for having bowel disease, the thought of some vanity drug making me even worse is insane. Right now, as it is, a normal sized meal will leave me with excessive bloating, excessive flatulence, GERD, abdominal pain, palpitations, racing heart, chest tightness and slow bowels. often nausea. and that is without taking ozempic.
@@user-my8bb6nc1xI think we have the same thing ? I was diagnosed with gerd as well
I'm a diabetic who took it to lower A1C. Within a day, I was vomiting for 24 hours. Then there was constant, debilitating nausea. Acid reflux , constipation. It was brutal.
Yea me too. It was horrible
It's that " Acceptable Risk" thing. 3% failure rate of any drug is acceptable.
Here I am waiting to be approved for this. I hate that this lady had to be the sacrificial lamb for people like me who will say "No, thank you" to my doctor. Take care. Be safe🙏🏿
High fat keto or carnivore, way of eating.
Yes I agree have will power and change what you eat ! That cheap and effective! Got issues with carbs and sugar….. simply stop eating it !
Again how the drug companies are allowed to get away with this stuff is beyond comprehension…
Every medication has side effects. Some people do well with them some don’t
Some people believe lies that they were told by others that something bad is good
until they experience it on their own bodies.
Why would she lay on the couch for a year without being able to get up instead of insisting to her Doctor to be taken off Ozempic? Did she even tell her doctor she couldn't physically get off the couch? There are quite a few other drugs for type 2 Diabetes she could have taken. She may not have been put on Ozempic for weight loss but if she had over 140 lbs to lose I suspect she kept taking Ozympic in spite of her symptoms because she was happy with the weight loss and didn't want to give up that aspect of the drug. I am sorry to hear she has what appears to be long term damage from being on the drug.
I wasn’t put on this med but when I told my doctor I could barely brush my teeth and I only did what was necessary for survival they didn’t believe me.
Video said she got down to 87 pounds, so she didn’t have 140 pounds to lose. She stopped taking the drug but then the gastroperesis took over and she couldn’t leave the couch/eat.
@@bettygrable6440 - This is 2024 and the news report states at Time Stamp 0:35 that she was prescribed Ozempic three years ago and the news report reiterated that at Time Stamp 1:35 by the reporter stating she was prescribed Ozempic in 2021. Just saying that to show she was on the drug at least two years. Then at Time Stamp 1:30 the reporter showed how frail she got WHILE ON THE DRUG, these are the reporter's exact words. That means she had problems while she was taking Ozempic. If you go to Time Stamp 1:34 on the video she said that she lost 140 lbs and got down to 87 lbs. She did not say she had stopped taking the drug at any point as she was losing down to 87 lbs. She was out of control in continuing to take the drug and losing weight even though she was becoming very frail. She had medical problems which was likely the beginnings of Gastroparesis and her problems with the drug had to have been going on a long time and she still did not take herself off the drug. No where does she say she notified her Doctors of her extensive problems and they told her to stay on the drug. Go to Time Stamp 2:00 and the reporter says Doctors told her to quit taking the drug in 2023. Doctors had to tell her to quit taking it. That was just last year. She did not take herself off the drug regardless of all of the problems she experienced which were so extensive they made her frail WHILE SHE WAS ON THE DRUG. She could have stopped taking the drug at any point in the two years she took it. Can you share where the information came from that she stopped the drug and only then was when she couldn't leave the couch or eat because the reporter said she became frail WHILE ON THE DRUG. She actually looks like she has gained weight after stopping the drug if she was only 87 lbs when she was still taking it . Remember according to this report she got frail WHILE ON THE DRUG, not after the Doctors ordered her to stop taking it.
@@bettygrable6440 at time stamp 1:30 in the video the reporter states she became frail, quote "While Taking The Drug". This report and the photo she provided makes it abundantly clear she had extensive health issues while she was still taking the drug. She was on the drug for two years from 2021 to 2023 according to this report. Yet she lost 140 lbs and didn't go off the drug over a two year period of time even though she was experiencing severe health problems. So even if a portion of that 140 lbs lost was due to Gastroparesis after the fact, she could have gone off the drug long before she did to mitigate her damage and suffering. If she had anywhere near even 100 lbs to lose she was morbidly obese and the weight loss aspect of the drug would be quite enticing which is my opinion. There are many other Diabetes drugs out there. I'd love to hear the reason she didn't go off the drug before she did.

Why did she keep taking it? I use it. My doctor and I work together. I do regular blood tests and have standing orders to instantly message him if there's any trouble. This woman was also taking the max dosage. There are 3 lower dosages.
I bet her doctor pushed the higher dose. My doc tried to push a higher dose for me, even though I am doing great with my blood glucose. I decline telling her that I don't think I will tolerate a higher dose due to stomach issues.
But Ozempic is NOT a weight loss drug.
It's a side effect of what it takes for it to perform
Then Viagra is for blood pressure
Wegovy is. And it’s the exact same medication formulation.
Yet I keep getting ads about using it for weight loss.
@@onewayturtles No one ever claimed advertisers were ethical
I am diabetic and took Ozempic for a year. My A1C got better, I lost 25#, and was miserably sick for the whole year. I could not poop. Threw up every morning. Miserable. After 6 months off of it I am almost normal. It’s a horrible drug.
You don’t take a drug that makes you feel li you’re dying.
Nobody that's taken it looks good in the face. They look like zombies.
I’m on it and it’s a lifesaver. Yes!! There are side effects, however one persons body reacts different from another. I met someone at the bank who took it. Diabetes went away, A1C went down, they lost weight AND had no side effects.
Not to mention, listen to your body!,, after awhile, if your not feeling better, stop the drug. Don’t distress your organs due to ignorance.
We live in a day n age where tons of information is out there, do your homework, ask questions, weigh the pros n cons. I see my primary doctor every 3 months, it’s part of being on a new drug without a heck of a lot studies available.
Also Ozempic has been found to help with depression and anxiety.
Again, be smart when it comes to YOUR health/body. It’s yours for life.
The attorney representing these 2000+ patients is worse than the drug itself. He’ll get rich off of this lawsuit and these patients that suffered immensely from this drug will get little compensation out of it because there are so many of them. these class action attorneys are bottom dwelling leeches.
I know. That sucks. But the lawsuit would never happen with just one victim. The class is what gives weight to the issue, unfortunately.
So nothing against drugmakers that sell dangerous 'miracles' to desperate people for absolute profit? Your priorities are way off.
I’ve involuntarily have been apart of two class action lawsuits. I was informed by a letter in the mail and then received my part in the suit. It’s nice when you don’t expect the money at least.
They're called ambulance chasers
I wanted to be a lawyer until I worked for 7 of them. Before you hire a lawyer please check them out.
There are many different kinds of diabetes medications, why wouldn’t your doctor switch you to another at the first sign of a problem? That doesn’t make sense.
If you don’t intake the stuff causing high blood sugar it will go down on its own.
If I’m not tolerating any prescribed drug I don’t need to get the doctor’s permission to stop it. I’m an adult who can think for myself. This drug is a once per week injection. It’s also administered by the patient which opens the door for abuse. All she had to do was when she first noticed she was drying up like a prune was stop and see if she would stop drying up. But no, she kept going until her doctor said stop. Common sense is a flower not grown in every garden.
Please quit blaming the patient. You have no idea how some doctors are. I've learned to run from asshat doctors who insist you stay on the med and don't listen to your side effects. I took myself off byetta years ago when my asshat doctor wouldn't listen to me. I also left that doctor! Not all people are strong and they trust the doctor to do what's best for them. Some doctors are good, but some are asshats.
@@shag6414 I agree I have left MANY of doctors who insist I take medicine that was hurting me .and yes some do not know and are scared .We should be able to trust doctors the world has changed and not for the good unfortunately ... I am struggling with the change . I blame the Doctors and most of all BIG PHARMA they don't care about us
My doctor prescribed ozempic for me to lose weight. The directions from the pharmacy said inject 2 mgs once per week. The first time I injected myself I was vomiting within an hour and I'd continue about every hour or two for 4 days. I couldn't even keep water down. That was the first and last time I took that.
They didn't ramp you up? My doctor started me on 0.25 to start with and I'm only on 1 mg now for maintenance but it took weeks to gradually increase it. No one should ever start on the maximum dose of 2 mg. 😮
@jacque1in my doctor may have told me to start at .25 and I forgot but the directions from the pharmacy said inject 2 mgs once weekly, I cranked the pen to 2 which is the maximum dose you can get in one injection. After I got sick I Googled it and Google said to start at .25 and increase your dose slowly. I guess it worked, it's easy to lose weight and you can't even keep water down lol.
Why don’t you just have will power to not eat the carbs and sugar that is causing it ?
@evolman6661 I have the will power to not eat that stuff and I don't eat much of it. I haven't had ice cream in probalby 6 months, I barely ever eat candy or chocolate but my big problem is I smoke cigarettes, I have back, arm and knee problems so it's hard for me to work out, I've been trying to walk lately to exercise but I need more than that. I have went from 315 to 293 over the past 3 months and other than the one Ozempic shot I've just ate healthier and exercised. I'm 6'1" and weigh like 293 maybe 290 by now. I'm not like a big blob of fat but I'm not happy with how I look.
@@stevebennett9839 His question was very rude, and you were very kind to answer it.
I was thinking about asking my doctor for this and I stumbled upon this video.
Thank you for posting it!
It’s not sugar water. Its off-label indication use is highly irresponsible. It seems like its actual indication may need to be revisited. We need more real world data.
The thing is most diabetics cant even get it only those with hundreds of dollars .
I agree with you. Although I'm sure the pharmacutical companies are happy for the boost in sales it is not them who are prescribing the drug for off label reasons. In the case of this lady she was prescribed the medicine for what it was meant to be sold for. However, I wonder if the pharmacutical companies would even be culpable if a Doctor prescribed this for off label reasons.
This wasn't off-label, though, she has diabetes.

Why was this drug allowed to be prescribed with all these side affects. Research studies should of shown the real risks of this drug. Greedy pharmaceutical companies and doctors that get kickbacks
Lazy-azzpeople take it to lose weight without any effort on their part!
There is really no excuse not to know the side effects as they are explained by the pharmacist at pickup and in the package in the form of a comprehensive document spelling them out. Data can also be found online in various languages. However, those who lack functional literacy, awareness, or lack the inclination to research something themselves are going to find themselves at high risk for this sort of thing. Make informed decisions and anticipate the side effects 😢
We have the best politicians that the pharmaceutical needs can buy. Stop dark money on politics.
This is a fairly new drug with very little research. My depression medication ( Lexapro ) has more serious side effects than Ozempic ever will. I didn’t take it at first because the side effects scared the shyt out of me. However, in talking to others on this drug, they experienced more positive side effects than neg ones.
Abuse is everywhere. People cry wolf when truth be told, all the Pharmaceutical Co are doing is a service that’s in demand. They can do their best to tell you possible side effects, but it’s a risk we all take. Like driving,
The best answer to this situation is to take good care of your body.
Do you not watch TV? Pretty much every commercial for medications have the lady with the pleasant voice listing a ton of possible side effects, and they're always horrible lol.
The Hippocratic Oath is no more, it's all greed and ego.
My sister ended up in the hospital with pancreitis
Me too! In hospital for one month
This is one of the potential secondary effects that it is described for Ozempic. It was disclosed. Always read all the secondary effects before taking any drug, particularly a newly approved drug. Hope you get better soon.
Why is their symbol baal? Working at nursing homes where I have seen this, and hated it, for over 20yrs
Agreed
Most can’t and won’t see…
You know.
The occult symbols are the language of the Satanists.
They make the sorceries(pharm)
Where is the Baal symbol located?

I knew this sounded too good to be true. Seemed like a population control people would flock to.
Fda should be sued also .
Why the FDA? The FDA wasn’t who changed the approval process. That was Congress at the urging of their large donors, big pharma.
That will happen as soon as the pharmaceutical companies apologize………not!,,,,
The FDA has sovereign immunity from lawsuits. They can poison us with no consequences.
I went cold turkey off Ozempic. I told my Nurse Practitioner several times I did not like what the drug was doing to me. She insisted that I needed to take it. After being on it for a year, I had not lost much weight. When I got to where I was angry and feeling like I was going to have to "leave this world", I stopped taking it. And shortly after, I realized I was not the only one feeling this way. it took two months for me to start feeling a bit better. However, I dont feel as if my stomach or bowels have recovered.
um, why did she let it go on so long. you go back to the doctor, go to a different doctor...and get off the medication if you are having severe side effects.
But if she saw she couldnt eat or hold down food why would she continue to take it. People need to take responsibility for themselves and be their own advocate 🤦🏻♀️
When a doctor tells you it's just apart of the side effects and it's temporary and will go away there is some seriously credibility issues there with the implied liability.
Common sense isn’t common
She obviously wanted to keep losing weight. Amazing what some women will do in the name of looking good.
@user-my8bb6nc1x it helped the diabetes.
My sister was prescribed ozempic for her type 2 diabetes. She was nauseous and couldn't keep anything down. She went to the doctor, and they insisted she keep going and gave her nausea meds that didn't help. She stopped taking it because she couldn't take the nausea anymore. She was only on it for a month. It's been a year, and she continues to be nauseous 24 hours a day, and her diabetes remains uncontrolled, which is very dangerous.
I was given Saxenda during 2021, i don't have diabetes but i was overweight. I took the drug for as long as i could but eventually the side effects were too much. I got off of it but am still feeling the effects of it in my stomach.
What do you mean “in your stomach”?
@@TheMostHighDaughter180 well, I wake up sick feeling and can't eat until 11 am, sometimes longer like 2 pm. I'm constantly having stomach aches, my bowel movements are very loose and I just don't feel like I did before Saxenda.
I also took this in 2021. I lost 35 pounds over a few months, however, ended up with an infected gallbladder with severe attacks. A rare necrotic bone disease and horrific cysts. Three surgeries within a few months. I gained the weight back initially. Losing now just from stress from major life changes since then. My husband had triple bypass, lost 30 pounds in the hospital. He's a Type 2 diabetic and already thin. He's done well with Metformin, however, the inpatient endocrinologist at the hospital started giving him Ozempic injections without my knowledge. Stopped that ASAP!!
Why did her doctor leave her on this drug for two years?
what I cant wrap my head around is WHY she continued to take it for 2 MORE YEARS. if youve become that sick & getting worse by the day you have to speak up
Yes, I agree.
I agree
The logo for this company is a pagan symbol from ancient Egypt. And also the name of this company. The CEO made $68 million in 2023 from our poor health and bad diet.
This!
If you know, then you know.
Bingo
@@GiveItUpJan😮 Please explain
They made money from your vanity and poor judgement
It’s black magic.
Her doctors should've monitored her for side effects. They suspended her treatment too late, after she had lost over half her body weight.
Why didn’t she just stop taking it? They usually are monitoring u regularly on this type of med.
Sounds like s nightmare. More lawsuits are on the way for sure!
I’ve already seen a class action lawsuit on one of them , on law and crime in the corner as an ad
Why wouldn’t you stop the medication if you were throwing up for over a year?
I have a friend who has been taking this and has lost over 90 lbs in less than 6 months. She dies not eat at all. I don’t know how to approach this with her. She looks horrible.
I know someone on the drug too and she looks like a skeleton,
1% is pretty low for any drug.
Yah it’s fine until it happens to you
@@mar25947yea..but Tylenol has caused deaths and we still take it so....
I’m old enough to remember my mom taking speed caramels to lose weight.
Meanwhile the CEOs of these pharmaceutical companies are sitting on their yachts enjoying a steak dinner! The medical “industry” is all about percentages now folks so don’t wind up on the wrong side if *of these numbers. Keep yourself as strong as possible and out of the doctor’s office!
You are correct unfortunately.
I have unused doses in the cupboard. Only took until I started full dose and couldn’t stomach being nauseous all the time and I hated what it did to my gastrointestinal tract. Never again
I've been on Ozempic for 4 months. I was on Metformin & Glipizide but they didn't help my A1C. Since taking Ozempic, my A1C has improved drastically! My only side effect so far is N/V a few days after I take my weekly shot. I've only lost 5lbs but I noticed undigested vitamins the day after ingesting them. So yes, gastroparesis seems to be a problem. I'm taking it one week at a time for now.
If it is too good to be true, it is definitely too good to be true
This is shameful!! Was enough testing done on the drugs before they hit the market? Feel so bad for this lady & everyone having these horrible side effects.
This is so sad. Type 2 diabetes can usually be controlled through diet.
Not always, unless one is eating a very low carb diet.
Also my mother in law is diabetic and had to stop taking this bc it made her unable to eat.
I took Ozempic for 3 months and I had to take Psyllium daily to keep me regular. After I stopped taking it my system moved better, even better than before. But, I did gain the weight back.
If a drug company spends millions on advertising a drug, beware. They're usually followed with; "if you or a family member..."
I'm on one medication, seroquel. A lot of people are, with no advertising. If they sell hard do not buy!
I've used a Cinnamon capsule one and day to control my type 2 diabetes. I don't use modern medicine, my A1c is 4.7 try it it may work for you.
Wow who would of thought this would happen 😮 *( sarcasm )
Get thin quick schemes are never the answer
Wow, the media needs to spread the news!
My wife was on ozempic for about six months, had no problems and then she transitioned to Monjo in my wife had gastric bypass surgery 15 years ago. Her stomach is so tiny and she said no side effects in anyway in any capacity so I am very confused and perplexed because my wife’s stomach is the size less than a tennis ball.
Got down to 83 pounds???? Is this before she stopped using it! 2000 patients accross the country is alot but these are overweight diabetic patients, you can get gastroparesis just from having diabetes. There are risks all were explained to me by my doctor. I made the choice to take them and i dont regreat it it has helped my health esp cardiovascular.
I am diabetic. I was doing well on Metformin but my doctor wanted me to try Ozempic, she said it would prevent heart disease, possible stroke. I was so sick after 2 doses. I was nauseous, constantly with stomach cramps, bloating and depression. No thanks.
I have a family member who developed gallstones after 3 months. The pharmaceutical companies are having a field day at the peril of their patients.
They DO tell patients.... they just don't listen or only hear what they want to hear.....
Not true the doctor s I deal with always say it's safe and it don't be. I do my research
I've taken ozempic for 6 months now. I've had no problems. A little common sense and good communication with my doctor is the key. This feels like an effort to make money for people's stupidity and laziness.
Give it another 6 months and update us
Some Drs don't listen to the patients.
I’ve been on Ozempic for 2 years. The first 3 months I lost 30 pounds. I haven’t lost anymore weight. I eat healthy, my bowels work normally and best of all my A1C is down to 5 and my glucose numbers are at 120. I now see my PC every 4 months instead of 3.
Wow…
@@winter7453I found out I was diabetic this year in Jan. First shot 💉 of Ozempic was Feb 1st....0.5mg due to A1C at 11.87. AFTER 1 mo. my Dosage was increased to 1.0mg. I've since lost over 40 lbs and now my A1C is at 6.43. I STILL EAT WHATEVER I WANT AND STILL DO NOT EXERCISE. I'm in Remission due to Breast cancer Stage 3. The chemo is what caused my diabetes 😢😢😢. Doc says I'll be off the Ozempic and no longer diabetic by fingers 🤞 the end of this year or early Spring next year. God willing. I've had Zero side effects from the Ozempic this far. God bless.
this is why the weight loss industry needs to be flipped on its head. while Ozempic and other semiglutitudes (however it’s spelled) have mostly been prescribed to T2D patients; ever since celebrities have been coming out talking about how it helped them lose weight significantly, big pharma has taken that opportunity to profit off of people’s insecurities. It doesn’t help that society has normalized being abusive towards people with weight issues. of course people will go great lengths to achieve being thin if that means being treated better by others. shouldn’t be a surprise that big pharma capitalized off of this. real change will come when we start prioritizing internal health over physical appearance. change in physical appearance should be seen as a bonus not a necessity for good health.
I trust a doctor about as much as I trust a cop or a politician. I told my sister who has stomach issues behind taking ozempic, but she won't listen. She thinks the doctors knows what best. Yeah right.

She's an excellent candidate for a fecal transplant if she can find a clinical trial, it's still in the experimental stage for GI issues but it can really help the right person.
Thanks Big Sugar.
I have it naturally and i can’t believe no one thought that this wouldn’t be a serious issue! THIS DISEASE CAN KILL YOU. Easily. The food rots in your stomach and sometimes, it can pass through, rotting in your intestines. It makes even drinking water a choir cause as soon as you drink it, it immediately sends your stomach into shock and you’re vomiting constantly or doubled over in the worse pain you’ve ever could imagine. FROM JUST A SIP. And if you do happen to use the bathroom, it’s either REALLY loose (I’m not joking, literal WATER) coming out or you’re completely constipated. There is no in between.
Kidney failure, IBS, Crohn’s and cancer comes with this.
Some medications help, but a lot only helps you to “manage” symptoms. Doesn’t fix anything. You’re stuck with supplements. For life.
Sorry but you can't be too bright if you're taking any new medication and you begin suffering debilitating side effects yet you keep taking it. If you don't know the side effects of something that you're going to put into your body, for goodness' sake at least consult with your pharmacist who knows much more about medications than any doctor (and doctor who gets payoffs from big pharma). If you're an adult you need to get informed, educate yourself, use some common sense.
I predict ozempic will be part of a class action suit in the very near future…#1-800-BAD-DRUG
Yeah. I suspect it will be like phen phen in the 90's
There are side effects from every drug ( birth control too) but yet we don’t talk about that …. For her to be diabetic she still has a bad diet plan … At the end of the day common sense don’t cost a thing …. if a drug is making you sick then stop , don’t continue taking it …
Poor lady, I send her love ❤
I started hearing about this about a week ago along with the complications. I wish we could actually trust the fda. My mom was severely sick and in pain most of her life and it was amazing how many medications they’d give to her and then recall. Why isn’t this recalled yet?
By far, the major problem is the marketing of these drugs (and others) where the "side effects" are not forthrightly stated. I feel for the folks who need treatment and are stuck with drugs that have debilitating side effects.
The FDA is not the problem. All medications have side effects and some people just can't tolerate certain things. People always want to blame the government when things go wrong but don't appreciate those same agencies that save lives as well.
We can trust the data.
The problem with this drug is it is untested over the long haul
And as of now it only effects 1% of patients and drug companies consider that with acceptable limits
It’s easy enough to research any legitimate drug online. It also lists side effects
We have to be responsible for our own knowledge if we want to maintain good health
@@DinNDeeWhat gets me is how 10 out of 1,000,000 have a bad result and ppl blame fda and want to say the drug is bad or ppl who want to lose weight and prevent diabetes deserve such. Like the med doesn't matter, there will always be those who have a bad result. Even with Tylenol and Aspirin, ppl have literally died. Stop sensationalizing/demonizing sht just because it works for obesity and you rather fat ppl struggle and end up diabetic or with CVD issues vs prevention via medication.
I’ve used ozempic off and on for the last year going on two and I use a wellness nurse practitioner who orders labs, assesses my progress weekly and prescribes something to ensure my intestines are healthy and functioning and moving as needed. I just need a little help getting my weight back to normal limits and then I maintain without the ozempic. Like right now, I haven’t had ozempic for months and have managed to keep the weight off by eating healthy, walking a lot and just being proactive. If you’re going to use the ozempic, also use wisdom.
Also, I was given B12 injections each week along with the ozempic.
You are so right, this given to “people” at home is a big no no & so true totally open to abuse. I started it and they measured me, I took test. I too had B12 shots with mine. The are very very strick, lots of water ( I add Celtic salt) Pedi-light. Yes the first shot had me vomiting violently.. I went to get fluids and zophan IV drip therapy. It solved the nausea and dehydration immediately. I was also informed by doctor to take dulcolax at night. You have to stay active every day I train 4-5 days a week to maintain muscle and lifestyle. Can’t use this stuff forever
As a diabetic I developed gastroparesis after only two injections and it took a year to recover. I still have issues digesting some foods.
Instead of teaching people to eat high quality food, nutrient dense food, low carbohydrate, no sugar, this is the shoot from the hip answer that doctors give out because there is money to be had. Shame on all of them.
It's "a pill for every ill" mentality here in America. Only now it's pills and shots. As we all should know, everything comes with a price.
Gastroenteritis is associated with diabetes as well. Neuropathy is also related to diabetes. There may need to be more investigation. Right now it looks like the case may fail.
I'm staying fat!
lol! Love it! So many have such beautiful full faces and healthy looking then the Ozempic face happens.
Knowledge is power!
Dang that sucks.
I ALREADY have Gastroparesis and now I'm sooooo glad I never took Ozempic to lose weight.
If you’re dense enough to keep taking something that’s causing such extreme side effects, what do you expect!?! That’s just plain stupidity!
That took her eye out 😮
