Horrific situation.
All of the GLP agonists make *significant* changes to digestion and other biochemical pathways in the body, and they all have potentially serious side-effects. That’s why users have to titrate up slowly and carefully before reaching the normal maximum dose.
In this case, it sounds like the patient had been suffering from vomiting since starting Ozempic, but had not disclosed this to the GP.
Constant vomiting brought on by *any* source can kill you pretty quickly, unfortunately.
Is this the one RFK Jr and Dr Oz are trying to get people in the US to try?
Seems like she didn’t fully report the problem to her doctor because she didn’t want to be taken off it, poor woman
“Concerned about her weight, she was prescribed a low dose of Ozempic with the dose increasing progressively to 1mg on 26 October.” Will they prescribe Ozempic that easily to patients? It’s gotten loads of publicity good & bad. Mad that people can’t get access to medicinal cannabis for chronic pain, endometriosis, arthritis, epilepsy etc but they’ll happily prescribe ozempic if you’re concerned about your weight. I know I’m shoehornig in cannabis but people have been fighting for access for years
Tragic case. Ozempic can only be prescribed to patients with diabetes in Ireland. This woman had diabetes. “A very complex, multifactorial case”. She didn’t die from ozempic.
It comes out of you both ends, that’s how you lose weight. It’s torture and people are so stigmatised they go into it with their eyes open, knowing it will make them vomit and poop themselves, knowing they will lose bone density and stomach elasticity and could get pancreatitis and could even die, and they do it anyway.
If any medication makes you vomit continuously, stop taking it and go back to the GP. Like surely that would be common sense?
Vomiting and/or diarrhea can cause severe dehydration really quickly which can unfortunately lead to death if not treated.
Really sad that people are more concerned about their weight than their actual health. Far too many people taking ozempic unnecessarily and a shortage of supply still for actual patients that need it for their diabetes
That poor woman, may she rest in peace.
I tried ozempic for at least a month three times and the gastro symptoms are horrific. My guess is its intolerable for many people. IIRC there is at least one class-action suit against the ?manufacturer, in the US, may be more. Then in the press it’s toted as a “miracle drug”.
Edited spelling
My dad was taking Ozempic for his Type II diabetes. He only had to take it once a week but the vomiting he did as a result was unreal. He couldn’t keep anything down and he lost his appetite for all his favourite things. He couldn’t even stand the smell of things he used to love. It was only when there was that huge shortage a couple of years ago and he couldn’t actually get it that we realised that was what was making him so sick. The diabetes doctors asked him to try a lower dose (much lower) and he still had the exact same side effects. I have a lot of weight to lose and I could get it on the medical card but the side effects just aren’t worth it. Plus I feel like it would totally fuck up your relationship with food and you can’t stay on it forever.
