Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Obesity Real Hahahaha Nigga Just Walk Around Like Nigga Stop Eating Haha
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has updated the Ozempic label to acknowledge complaints of blocked intestines in some people who have taken the medication.
The semaglutide drug is designed for people with Type 2 diabetes but has become widely used as a weight-loss remedy.
Ozempic works by mimicking a natural hormone, GLP-1, which slows down the passage of food through the stomach and intestines, making people feel full for longer.
However, issues start to arise if the medication slows the intestines too much, causing some to develop ileus — when the intestines’ ability to contract slows to the point of prohibiting the body’s ability to properly remove waste, causing intestinal blockage.
The labels of similar medications, including Wegovy and Mounjaro, already acknowledge reports of the condition. Ileus is just one of a long list of unwanted side effects users have reported from this category of medications.
The FDA update comes as the federal agency has received more than 6,100 reports of an array of gastrointestinal disorders from Ozempic users, including gastroparesis or “stomach paralysis.”
The manufacturers of Ozempic and Mounjaro are being sued over claims that the companies “downplayed the severity of the gastrointestinal events” from using the drugs.
How about instead of taking dangerous drugs because you’re such a fat slob, you just stop being a fat slob?
It’s so easy. Just stop eating.

Also… isn’t it fatphobic to sell weight loss drugs? Serious question, because I don’t understand the difference between weight loss drugs and gay conversion therapy.
I’m not trying to be difficult here.
I’m just saying: being gay is very good and healthy, so conversion therapy is evil.
The same people saying it is good to be gay say it’s good and healthy to be a fat blob. So why are these drugs allowed?
Are we sure that these drugs are not being made by Russians, in order to cause disinformation about the scientific fact that being obese is very healthy?
