"Risks of GLP-1 Drugs: Endoscopy Complications and Aspiration Pneumonia"

A study suggests that patients taking weight management drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which are GLP-1 agonist drugs, should suspend their intake before undergoing endoscopy procedures to reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia. These drugs slow down digestion and food retention in the stomach, increasing the chance of aspiration during sedation for procedures. While the overall risk of aspiration is low, temporarily holding these medications prior to procedures can significantly reduce the risk, potentially saving lives and hospitalizations.

The Truth About Vaccines and Their Impact on the Body's Resistance to Other Viruses

It is generally safe to take GLP-1 agonist drugs like Ozempic or Mounjaro on the same day as getting a COVID, influenza, or RSV vaccine. However, new users may want to wait until any initial side effects of the drug have subsided. It is also safe to take these medications if you currently have COVID, though doing so could worsen any gastrointestinal symptoms. It is recommended to stagger the GLP-1 dose and vaccines to monitor for potential side effects and serious risks associated with the medication. If you're new to the drug, it may be advisable to get the vaccine on a different day to avoid exacerbating side effects.

Paralyzed Stomachs: The Side Effects of Weight Loss and Diabetes Medications

Patients who took drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which are used for weight loss and diabetes, are reporting severe stomach problems, including gastroparesis or stomach paralysis. These drugs, which contain the medication semaglutide, mimic a hormone that slows down the passage of food through the stomach, helping people feel fuller longer. However, if the stomach slows down too much, it can cause issues. Some patients have experienced vomiting, nausea, and delayed gastric emptying, leading to a diagnosis of gastroparesis. Doctors believe these cases may be rare but are being reported more frequently as the popularity of these drugs increases. The FDA has received reports of stomach paralysis associated with these medications, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists has warned about the increased risk of regurgitation during surgery.
