intestinal blockage—as a possible adverse event to the Ozempic label. Apparently, some people taking Ozempic have had a gut feeling. That’s a gut feeling in an ill way—an ileus way. And on September 22,ileus—which can result in intestinal blockage—as a possible adverse event to the Ozempic label.
Now, 20 people may not seem to be a whole lot of people, given how many people seem to be using this injectable medication to try to lose weight these days. And just because someone submitted a complaint to FAERS doesn’t mean that it actually happened, since the FDA doesn’t verify the accuracy all of the submissions. Furthermore, just because something bad happened while you are taking a certain medication doesn’t necessarily mean that the medication actually caused that event.
Keep in mind that ileus is not the type of thing that you can simply ignore and solve with some ice cream. Don’t tell your date, “I’ve been suffering from ileus for several days but still should be able to make dinner.” Such intestinal blockage can lead to tears through your intestinal walls, the contents within your intestines spilling all over the place and death.
