Serious Digestive Problems Linked to Weight-Loss Drugs Ozempic and Wegovy

A study from the University of British Columbia has found that weight-loss drugs known as GLP-1 agonists, including popular brands like Wegovy and Saxenda, are associated with increased risks of stomach paralysis, pancreatitis, and bowel obstruction. While these drugs were initially prescribed for managing Type 2 diabetes, they have gained popularity for weight management. The study compared GLP-1 agonists to a drug used for chronic obesity and found significantly higher risks for the former. Although these adverse events are rare, the widespread use of these drugs could potentially lead to hundreds of thousands of people experiencing these conditions. The FDA has recently added warning labels to Ozempic and Wegovy regarding the risk of intestinal blockage.

"Serious Risks Uncovered: Weight-loss Drugs Linked to Stomach Paralysis and Pancreatitis"

A study from the University of British Columbia has found that weight-loss drugs known as GLP-1 agonists, including popular brands like Wegovy and Saxenda, are associated with increased risks of stomach paralysis, pancreatitis, and bowel obstruction. While these drugs were initially prescribed for managing Type 2 diabetes, they have gained popularity for weight management. The study revealed that users of GLP-1 agonists face significantly higher risks of these adverse events compared to those using bupropion-naltrexone, a drug for chronic obesity. Although these incidents are rare, the widespread use of these drugs could potentially lead to hundreds of thousands of people experiencing these conditions.

Weight Loss Drugs Linked to Severe Stomach Issues: Study

A new study published in JAMA suggests that weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic, known as GLP-1s, may be associated with an increased risk of rare but severe stomach conditions in non-diabetic patients. The study found that GLP-1s were linked to stomach paralysis, bowel obstruction, and pancreatitis. Researchers analyzed health insurance claim records for approximately 16 million U.S. patients and found that GLP-1s were associated with a higher risk of these conditions compared to other weight loss medications. The study aims to inform healthcare providers and patients about the potential drawbacks of taking GLP-1s for weight loss.

Debunking the Myth: Burping is Not a Sign of Colon Cancer.

Excessive burping can be a rare symptom of colon cancer, but it's usually linked to a manifestation of the disease, like a blockage of the bowels. Physicians stress that other symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, are more commonly associated with colon cancer. However, any persistent new symptom when paired with other "red flag" colorectal cancer symptoms may be cause for concern. Colorectal cancer diagnoses are on the rise in younger populations, and researchers have identified certain "red flag" symptoms that may be indicative of early-onset colorectal cancer.

Debunking the Myth: Burping is Not a Sign of Colon Cancer.

Excessive burping could be a symptom of a bowel obstruction, which could be caused by a tumor in the colon, as it was in the case of a Florida nurse who was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. Although burping is not a common sign of colon cancer, any persistent new symptom when paired with other “red flag” colorectal cancer symptoms may be cause for concern. Physicians stress the importance of getting any worrisome symptoms checked out to determine the cause and get treated as soon as possible, even in younger populations.
