Guy who shoots up ozempic and god knows what else, suddenly dies, it won't be mysterious
Ozempic nearly killed my spouse. He's in a class action lawsuit against the makers of it now.
Ooc how? Working in Healthcare myself I've been anticipating the monkeys paw on that one for some time now.
He was taking it for his diabetes as prescribed by his doctor. Diabetics are prone to getting diabetic gastroparesis, which is caused by nerve damage to the muscles of the stomach which in turn causes delayed gastric emptying into the intestine. It turns out Ozempic causes gastroparesis and other GI symptoms. So it gave him the nerve damage, and when we were on vacation he got a near constant case of diarrhea, and got COVID on the way home to boot; thankfully we are extremely vaccinated so it was mild. But the diarrhea persisted and persisted, and he began to be unable to eat because of it, so he couldn't take his Ozempic. This ended up with him in diabetic ketoacidosis, a trip in the yee-woo wagon to the ER, and a 12 day admission. He was almost completely comatose when I came home that day and couldn't keep his eyes open or catch his breath.
Apparently lots of cases of what is called euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis turn up in the ER. And my friend who is a GP told me after I told her what was going on that she had had two patients with the same thing.

Interesting. Sorry to bother; sometimes I get too curious to remember that this isn't a medical curiosity to you and I didn't catch myself until after asking / reading. That is terrible and if you don't see some resolution to the health issues I hope you're at least able to find some justice. I'll also try to keep it in mind for the patients I see taking it. I don't see diabetes too much in psych but antipsychotics can increase the odds and I'm seeing drugs in that class prescribed more and more concurrently.
Oh I want people to know this happened so I'm glad you asked, it's not widely known about yet. The SGLT2 inhibitors are super popular for weight loss so this was unfortunately a bad outcome for a diabetic.
