Stephen Fry has raised concerns about the weight-loss drug Ozempic, citing that the medication caused him to experience severe vomiting up to five times a day. This comes amid a broader discussion about the drug's side effects and its unexpected impact on fertility. Reports have emerged suggesting that Ozempic, originally marketed for weight loss and diabetes management, may inadvertently increase fertility rates. This has led to a phenomenon referred to as 'Ozempic babies,' where women on birth control have reported unexpected pregnancies after starting the drug. Additionally, there has been a significant legal backlash against the manufacturers of Ozempic and similar GLP-1 drugs, with over five dozen lawsuits filed by patients alleging failure to notify about potential side effects. Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, is facing tens of thousands of cases, including allegations of causing stomach paralysis (gastroparesis). The company, along with Lilly, another drugmaker implicated in the lawsuits, has defended the safety of their products, citing FDA-approved labels that warn of gastrointestinal adverse reactions.
