Ozempic increases the risk of stomach paralysis: A new study has revealed that the risk of stomach paralysis increases by 30 percent in people taking weight loss medicine Ozempic or Veggo. Most of us would have hardly heard about a disease like stomach paralysis. On the other hand, weight loss medicine is not available in India till now, but recently Novo Nordisk company has launched the tablet form of this medicine in India. Therefore, it is important for everyone to know both these things, how stomach paralysis occurs and when weight loss medicine is used.
Why weight loss medicine is taken
In fact, the weight loss drug Vegabee or Ozempic has started being used indiscriminately in Western countries. This drug increases the possibility of controlling diabetes along with weight. When weight increases, the risk of many diseases in the body increases. The risk of diabetes increases due to excess weight. Apart from this, it has a serious effect on the heart. Therefore, weight loss injections have started being used in America and Britain. But its side effects have also started coming to the fore. According to the news of TOI, this study has been told in the Digestive Diseases Week 2024 Conference in Washington. It has been claimed in the conference that the health records of 3 lakh people suffering from diabetes and obesity were analyzed, out of which 1.65 lakh people had taken the supplement of Vegabee or Ozempic. The side effects of this drug found that this drug slows down the speed of emptying the stomach and insulin production. This causes many stomach related problems.
Need to be alert to side effects
Dr. Prateek Sharma, the lead researcher of this study and professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Kansas, says that since this drug is new, its benefits have also been proven. Despite this, we want to know about its full potential and the side effects of taking this drug for a long time. In such a situation, any person should be cautious before taking this drug and should not take it without consulting a doctor. Dr. Anoop Mishra, Chairman of Fortis C-Doc, said that the tablet available in India costs Rs 10,000 for one month. But it can reduce blood sugar and weight and can also cure serious kidney disease. However, we also need to be cautious about its side effects.
How does stomach paralysis occur?
According to Mayo Clinic, stomach paralysis is medically known as gastroparesis. Stomach paralysis is a disease due to which the intestinal muscles become weak. This weakens the movement of the intestine. Normally, the muscles of the strong intestine keep contracting automatically due to which the food gets digested in the intestines and moves forward. But if the stomach is paralyzed, the movement reduces due to which the food moves forward very slowly. Due to this, the stomach always feels full. The biggest problem in this is that the stomach is not empty. What is the real cause of stomach paralysis is not known properly. But this disease can be caused by diabetes, some other diseases and side effects of some medicines. Vomiting, nausea, bloating, stomach ache, always feeling full stomach, acid reflux, lack of appetite etc. are the symptoms of this disease.
