Warning: Louisville Patients Expose Shocking Side Effects Of Trendy Weight Loss Drugs

She waited 2 years to be told to stop taking the garbage 🤦‍♀️ people need to STOP relying on white coats for life decisions. Just insane

I took Ozempic for 1 year. I am not overweight. I am diabetic. I now have Gastroparisis. Food is my enemy now 😢

Nothing beats a clean lean diet and regular exercise

(Nurse here): New meds are inherently dangerous because we lack longitudinal data. If pharma and medical professionals were 100% transparent, people could make informed decisions on if it is worth the risk. It sounds as though this woman's case was handled poorly, her condition was not identified by her doctor, and her knowledge of side effects was lacking. If people know the potential side effects (read the inserts you toss when you pick up your needs) and opt to take the med regardless, the company can argue that liability falls to the patient. I hope this helps people choose lifestyle changes before reaching for a pill or injection. Remember, medications are inherently risk business and the more types you take the higher your risk for complications. Meds compete in the liver to be metabolized and can circulate longer than is therapeutically safe. Educate yourselves or become victims. Much love to those suffering because of big pharma. ❤

This is why medicines should NOT be allowed to advertise. The fact that we allow it because the pharmaceutical companies lobby as much as they do is so embarrassing.

My wife was recently prescribed Wegovy for weight loss but our insurance wouldn’t pay for it. Thank goodness.

Years from now who knows what side effects there will be.

Whenever you see a barrage of TV ads touting a new "miracle" drug, don't walk, RUN!

My doctor prescribed this for me. I went hunting online for side-effects and called the pharmacy and told them to cancel the prescription. No thanks! Their risk/benefit scale is not MY risk/benefit scale. It's YOUR health and life you RISK.

They need to stop prescribing this drug unnecessarily

This is the 21st century Phen Fen. Remember that?

I was prescribed Ozempic for diabetes. It was obvious I didn’t tolerate the drug in weeks and contacted my Dr. immediately and stopped taking it.

As someone who has had both gastroparesis and dumping syndrome, you don’t appreciate proper digestive timing until it’s gone. Took me years to recover, with very little help from doctors!

More people need to see this before it's too late.

Allegedly this is what's happening to Oprah

The doctors are getting a kickback by prescribing it.

My sister was prescribed this for her Type 2 diabetes. She was only on it several weeks when she became severely constipated and ended up going to the ER where she had to be manually disimpacted...the doctor told her she never would have been able to have a bowel movement on her own, she was that compromised.

Many decades ago, it used to take years to get a new drug approved by the FDA. But so many people screamed about waiting, about how "Europe does it!" So they eventually relaxed those laws. Now you get drugs without long term studies, and people are "surprised" when long term effects are revealed. People better start deciding if they want it now, or want it safe.

I am a veteran and receive all my care through the VA. I have been on Ozempic for almost a year due to diabetes. I was warned to drink lots of water to exercise to make sure I take enough protein. Then I will have muscle loss so I need to be proactive with that. And to make sure I get the fiber and close attention to my bowels. I have frequent check-in with my Doctor Who manages my diabetes and I have blood work and labs done every three months. I have no complications. My weight loss has level out. I did not lose an extreme amount of weight I eat like I’m supposed to exercise I’m supposed to.

Why on earth did she not just stop sooner, thats crazy to keep taking a med that makes you that sick 🤦🏻‍♀️
