Ozempic lawsuits already?

[Nat]

Makers of these weight loss drugs are getting sued over "stomach paralysis."

Apparently, one person ended up in the ER a bunch of times and lost teeth from throwing up so much. Yikes.

Seriously? Sounds like someone took way too much. I didn't realize it could affect your teeth!

 

[Nat]

Haha! I figure some folks are gonna react weirdly, but I'm not sure these stories tell us much.

It's a "failure to warn" suit when the label clearly says GI problems are a risk? People need to read the warnings before popping pills and then blaming everyone else when things go south. Learn about potential side effects and risks before you start something new.

Betaine HCL can be helpful, since many people have low stomach acid. Also, magnesium oxide helps to keep things moving, if you know what I mean.

 

[Groovy_Great]

Pretty sure you mean magnesium citrate.

 

[Dakota1976]

No, I mean magnesium oxide and magnesium threonate. Oxide is better for bowel movements. Threonate is for brain health. I avoid citrate.

If someone is throwing up so much that their teeth are getting messed up, wouldn’t you think they’d stop taking the medication? I’m sure a doctor would’ve said something.

Wow, that's scary! I've lost almost 80 lbs since summer, and things have been mostly good, but now I'm wondering about gallstones. Someone on another forum said to watch out for them. I thought my side effects were from the medication, but it turned out to be gallstones and needing to go to the hospital twice. So, good to know!

I agree with @HawkGal. It seems like people want a miracle cure and don't want to put in any effort or read about the possible outcomes. It's frustrating to see these lawsuits when the info is available.

To @Dakota1976's point about stomach issues, I've been seeing a lot about delayed gastric emptying. Just be aware if you're having antacids and still struggling with reflux, it might not be helping.

 

[Nat]

Thanks for the heads up about the gallstones, @Rory1977. Good to know what to look out for.

Glad it's working and you're seeing actual change already. That early momentum shift makes all the difference in keeping the whole thing going.

Only place I saw that was one vendor or they go to messages. Most respect their terms. One even swapped a whole batch after testing showed weak. Older vendors tend more reliable. But there's been...

 

[perkycoasting60]

Six weeks in and down 6.9 kg. Haven't seen much change yet but knowing I've lost more than what my dog weighs is pretty wild to think about.

 

[Sage_1999]

63.5kg gone. 438 days. 14 months. 1.2 years on this stuff. we got this.

Stories like this are why I keep my Epipen close. Glad the outcome was ok - those reactions can turn fast.
