A 56-year-old woman in Australia has died after using Ozempic for weight loss ahead of her daughter’s wedding.
Her husband said she did not have diabetes and was taking the drug to slim down for the event. Ozempic is approved for Type 2 diabetes but is widely used off-label for weight loss.
She reportedly suffered ongoing nausea and diarrhea while using the medication, along with another weight-loss drug. Despite feeling unwell, she continued taking it. She was later found unresponsive at home and died the same day.
Her husband believes the drug caused a severe bowel complication. The case has raised concerns about using diabetes medications for weight loss and highlights the need for close medical supervision.
