Ozempic side effects 'well-known', Novo Nordisk argues
Novo Nordisk has refuted a Louisiana woman’s claim that her doctors weren’t properly warned of the side effects of the company’s blockbuster drug Ozempic, saying the vomiting and pain she alleged to have experienced are documented side effects included on the drug's label.
The Danish drugmaker filed a motion to dismiss Jaclyn Bjorklund’s lawsuit against the company on Friday in Louisiana federal court. Bjorklund said that while taking the drug for Type 2 Diabetes she developed gastroparesis, a slowdown in the emptying of the stomach into the small intestine, that led to her vomiting and pain.

US approves highly anticipated Eli Lilly weight loss drug
Eli Lilly and Company has announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Company's Zepbound (tirzepatide) injection, an obesity treatment of its kind that activates both GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormone receptors.
Zepbound is indicated for adults with obesity (with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater), or those who are overweight (with a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or greater) and also have weight-related medical problems such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea or cardiovascular disease, to lose weight and keep it off. It should be used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Zepbound should not be used with other tirzepatide-containing products or any GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines, and it has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis, or with severe gastrointestinal disease, including severe gastroparesis.
