Diabetes Drug for Weight Loss

Having the kind of medicine that manages diabetes and promotes weight loss at the same time is a true breakthrough in this age of modern medicine. But even as we continue to celebrate the huge strides made by pharmaceutical companies in finding possible cures to common diseases we face in our daily lives, we expect these companies to observe high levels of integrity. Sadly, that has not been the case with a few manufacturers like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, the brains behind a series of popular medicines used to treat Type 2 diabetes and promote weight loss.

Recent reports have shown that many people have suffered gastrointestinal diseases from constantly using popular medicines for diabetes and weight loss. Among the medicines mentioned in the reports include Ozempic, Saxenda, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Rybelsus.  

While these products have known side effects, such as headache, fatigue, and dizziness, it is now emerging that their manufacturers did not come clean about other side effects. 

For context, several users of these products have been diagnosed with gastrointestinal side effects. The most common is gastroparesis, also known as “paralyzed stomach.”

As the name implies, this condition makes the stomach unable to process food. As a result, some users have fallen violently ill, while some have been hospitalized due to the adverse side effects of these medicines. If you or a loved one has experienced these side effects or anything similar, please tell us about your case. Together, we might be able to hold the manufacturer responsible.

FAQ

Morgan & Morgan

    How Are the Manufacturers Responsible? 

    Any manufacturer of a consumable product has a duty to warn consumers about its side effects. They cannot choose what to warn them against and hide the rest of the information. That’s what Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, the manufacturers of these popular diabetes and weight loss medicines, have been accused of. They simply did not warn consumers about the stomach-related side effects of using these medicines. As a result, many people have fallen sick and incurred substantial medical expenses due to the manufacturer’s negligence. 

    What Happens When Your Stomach Is Paralyzed?

    This condition weakens your stomach muscles, preventing its normal contractions. As a result, it causes a delay in the emptying of its contents into the small intestine. This can lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, feeling full quickly, bloating, and other digestive issues.  
     

    What Are the Long-Term Effects of Gastroparesis?

    Studies have shown that this condition can lead to several long-term effects. Some examples include:

    • Malnutrition
    • Unintended weight loss
    • Blood sugar control challenges (especially among diabetes patients)
    • Increased risk of acid reflux,
    • Formation of solid masses (bezoars)
    • Imbalances in electrolytes. 
    • Increased risk of hospitalization. 

    Individuals suffering from stomach paralysis have been forced to change their diet, medication, and overall lifestyle, all of which can be expensive.

    One of the key reasons these manufacturers did not disclose the full side effects of their products is that they put profits over human lives. This kind of corporate greed should never be tolerated. If no one holds them accountable, many more unsuspecting users, whose only fault is trusting the wrong manufacturer, may suffer even more serious consequences.
