Ozempic related articles in USA Today
This is the blurb from the daily email I get from USA Today:
Quote:
Dozens allege weight loss and diabetes drugs cause harmful side effects
Millions of Americans have flocked to a popular class of drugs known as GLP-1 agonists, or glucagon-like peptide 1, which are prescribed for diabetes and weight loss and have become a blockbuster category of medications for drug companies.
But now patients are suing Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, the two companies that make drugs within this class of medication, saying they suffered distressing digestive symptoms, such as gallbladder removal or gastroparesis, after taking the drug.
• You've probably hear a lot about Ozempic lately. The drug is made to treat people with diabetes but has been a craze among elite circles for its weight-loss properties.
• The maker of Ozempic faces the most of the lawsuits. And attorneys expect the case will eventually include thousands of others who say they were harmed.
• "Ozempic babies" are surprising women taking these weight loss drugs. Women are getting pregnant, in most cases unintentionally, they say, while taking weight loss medications like Ozempic despite being on birth control or dealing with years of fertility issues.
