Ozempic saw a whopping 23% sales growth last year, with expected growth of another 30% this year.

Demand is so high that the drugmaker's CEO has stated it could take several years to resolve shortages.

With the rising popularity of Ozempic and Wegovy, we're now learning more about their side effects, and they are:

👉 Gastrointestinal Problems: People prescribed semaglutide (the active ingredient in this drug) have a higher risk of serious gastrointestinal conditions, such as stomach paralysis.

👉 Slow Stomach Emptying: This can decrease your digestive system's detoxification capabilities.

👉 Increased Risk of SIBO: Slow digestion increases the risk of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).

While the percentage of people experiencing these side effects is low, it's important to understand how these drugs work and their potential impacts on your health.
