"FDA Probes Surprising Side Effects of Diabetes Drugs, Including Hair Loss and Suicidal Thoughts"

The FDA is investigating reports of serious side effects, including hair loss, suicidal thoughts, and airway obstruction, in patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic and Mounjaro, which are diabetes and weight loss drugs. While these drugs are known for their benefits in stimulating insulin secretion and reducing appetite, the potential new risks are not currently listed as side effects. Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer, acknowledges the FDA's review but stands by the safety and efficacy of its products when used as directed.

"FDA Investigates Weight Loss Drugs Amid Conflicting Reports on Mental Health Risks"

The FDA is investigating reports of hair loss and suicidal thoughts among users of GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy, which are medications for diabetes and weight loss. While these side effects, along with aspiration, have been reported to the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, the FDA has not yet established a causal relationship between the drugs and the risks. The FDA's ongoing drug safety monitoring may lead to regulatory actions like label changes or the development of a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy. Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of several GLP-1 agonists, emphasizes their commitment to patient safety and the efficacy of their medications when used properly.
