Hope you "I just need to lose 5 or 10 pounds" types have already said your goodbyes.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says Ozempic can cause ileus, when the intestines become blocked. In rare cases, this can prove fatal if the contents contaminate the body, which can cause a condition like sepsis.

Reports to the FDA's FAERS system have linked 51 fatalities to weight-loss drugs popularized by celebrities. The reports, which are not verified, were filed for users of Ozempic, Wegovy and other drugs that use semaglutide - the active ingredient in the weight-loss shots.

Is that a better or worse outcome than being a fatty?

This board HATES (Loathes) any drug that helps with weight loss so this will be a fun thread.

That being said, I wonder how many of those 51 deaths were people abusing the drug and/or doing something stupid.

I still maintain the drug has a use for those looking to kick start a weight loss plan but needs to be paired with lifestyle changes and exercise. That position has not been popular on here. I also believe that people are slamming 50mgs and more weekly hoping to increase weight loss and that is what is killing them.

Only an idiot would take these pharmaceuticals, continue to eat huge amounts for weeks and weeks, all while not shitting.

You don’t eat because your body doesn’t want you to. If you’re slowly processing food in your system, your natural hunger is lowered. So again, like anything, it’s an idiot problem more than anything else.

Article says over 60,000 new prescriptions for this shot in April. Assuming just that one single month, fatality rate from the shot is 0.00085%. If I was fat, I’d take those chances.

We all thought these drugs would solve the obesity epidemic by making people skinny, but it really just kills them.

Win/win IMO

I see this is The Daily Mail. I've been taught here its reporting is 100% reputable and only publishes fact based stories...

just talked to my doctor about this.

he said its really rare to have the blockage issue, like 1 in a million.

but he said they dont have anything better to replace it with. he expects ozempic will just remove whats bad because the weight loss is a side effect they dont need if its a problem.

cant say its related, but my prescription refill is on back order, so that is kinda weird

GLP-1 agonists are fantastic medications for glycemic control. There are nary a downside I’ve seen in T2DM patients. In terms of weight loss, I think a better diet and regular exercise is better in the long-term. The best exercise in my experience is the addition of a walking program for patients that are able, usually in excess of the AHA recommendations of 150 minutes a week. GLP-1 agonists do make those efforts, as in the change in diet and the addition of a walking program specifically, much more pronounced in the targeted population, but I’d wager there there are diminishing returns in non-diabetic populations.

These drugs have good results for weight-loss, but I do wonder to what degree that those who receive it for weight-loss alone are also at risk for several other metabolic syndromes. As in, the target population that wants to lose weight for aesthetic purposes is much smaller than the population who could potentially develop into people with chronic medical conditions. In that sense, the medications could be considered ‘metabolic prophylaxis’ of sorts.

There's no free lunch; however, if they are already taking a weight loss drug I have questions about their health to begin with.

They’ll create a drug to treat the symptoms.

Win/win*




*not actually a win for the patient.
