Ozempic and Other Obesity, Diabetes Drugs Linked to Surgery Risks

New Study Raises Concerns About Anesthesia Complications

Recent research has uncovered a possible severe side effect for patients using GLP-1 agonists, including Ozempic, during surgical procedures.

According to the study, individuals taking GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic and Wegovy face potential complications related to anesthesia. These complications may arise due to the drugs' effects on the body's hormonal responses and cardiovascular system.

The findings underscore the need for patients and healthcare providers to be aware of these potential risks and to follow appropriate precautions before undergoing surgery while using these medications.
