00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
And I was vomiting and I'm in bed and I had my son's like,

2
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.800
can you like play tag?

3
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:05.800
And I'm like, I can't.

4
00:00:05.800 --> 00:00:06.300
No.

5
00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:09.240
And I was like, shrimbling.

6
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.360
I lost 30 pounds so quick.

7
00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:14.600
I looked great and I couldn't lift my head off the billows.

8
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:17.080
So what's that like?

9
00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:21.080
Amy Schumer has talked about her use of Ozempic in the past.

10
00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:22.800
Her symptoms that she describes here

11
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.200
are the vomiting in particular.

12
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:26.920
There are a number of patients who experience side effects

13
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.120
with GLP1s such as Ozempic or lagovi.

14
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.720
It's probably GI or gastrointestinal side effects

15
00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:36.200
are probably some of the most common side effects

16
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.400
can include things like nausea or vomiting like Amy

17
00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:41.840
described some of my patients have had

18
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.720
or have diarrhea, abdominal cramping, abdominal pain.

19
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:49.040
And the range of those symptoms can be mild to severe.

20
00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:51.360
I'm not saying everyone gets them because no,

21
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:54.480
not everyone gets them, but probably the most common side

22
00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:54.980
effect.

23
00:00:54.980 --> 00:00:58.060
And you certainly see are the gastrointestinal side effects.

24
00:00:58.060 --> 00:00:59.940
Sometimes these side effects are mitigated

25
00:00:59.940 --> 00:01:05.180
by reducing the dose, sort of changing the medication.

26
00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:07.980
Sometimes people aren't able to tolerate these medications.

27
00:01:07.980 --> 00:01:10.700
Everyone certainly is different.

28
00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:12.660
You just want to talk with your doctor

29
00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:15.660
and talk with your doctor about what's right for you.

30
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:17.620
These medications are not right for everyone,

31
00:01:17.620 --> 00:01:19.900
but that's the case with any medication.

32
00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:23.660
You want to make sure that you meet the FDA requirements

33
00:01:23.660 --> 00:01:26.300
for the medication, that you're an appropriate candidate,

34
00:01:26.300 --> 00:01:28.100
and that you work with your doctor.
