🚨 New Warning for Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro Users 🚨
If you’re on GLP-1 drugs for weight loss or diabetes, take note! The MHRA has issued an alert about a rare, but potentially serious side effect you need to be aware of. 📢
Over 1.6 million people in the UK have turned to these meds over the past year. While they’re generally safe, there’s a risk of developing acute pancreatitis—a condition where the pancreas becomes inflamed. Look out for symptoms like severe stomach and back pain that doesn’t go away, a high temperature, nausea, or vomiting. 🤒
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, seek medical advice immediately! The NHS advises you to see a GP ASAP if you get sudden and severe belly pain, or contact NHS 111 for guidance. 🩺
Alison Cave from the MHRA assures us that these drugs are safe and effective for most, but keeping an eye out for these symptoms can make all the difference. 🤗
Remember, knowledge is power when it comes to your health! Stay informed, stay safe, and don’t hesitate to reach out to a healthcare professional if you think something isn’t right. 💪
