The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has updated the label of the diabetes drug Ozempic to acknowledge reports of blocked intestines in some people using the medication.
Ozempic and its sister drug, Wegovy, which is approved for weight loss, have recently soared in popularity. They use a medication called semaglutide, part of a family of drugs called GLP-1 agonists, which work by mimicking a hormone that the body naturally makes to slow the passage of food through the stomach, which helps people feel fuller longer.
The labels of Wegovy and a diabetes drug called Mounjaro acknowledge reports of a condition called ileus, or intestinal blockage, in some people who use them. Ozempic's label has been updated to say the same.
