However, anesthesiologists have discovered that some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doctors-sound-alarm-over-latest-ozempic-risk\/\" title=\"Doctors concerned about new risks associated with Ozempic.\">patients taking semaglutide-based \u2063medications<\/a>, including Ozempic and Wegovy, still have full stomachs even after fasting for hours. This poses a risk of pulmonary aspiration and other complications, which can be fatal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In June, the American Society of Anesthesiologists issued guidelines advising patients to skip these drugs on the day of \u2063surgery and pause weekly injections for one\u200b week before sedation procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;But that&#8217;s not enough,&#8221; say some anesthesiologists. They recommend patients stop taking the drugs for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">three weeks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  before undergoing anesthesia. According\u200b to a publication in the Canadian Journal\u2062 of\u200d Anesthesia, this three-week period would eliminate approximately \u2063 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">88% of the \u2064drug from the body, resulting in emptier stomachs after fasting and safer sedation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the risks associated with drugs like Ozempic extend beyond anesthesia complications. \u200dRecently, a lawsuit was \u200cfiled alleging that the manufacturers of Ozempic and Mounjaro, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly respectively,\u200d failed to adequately warn patients about\u200b the potential for\u2064 severe stomach problems as a side effect. The\u2062 lawsuit claims that a Louisiana woman suffered\u2063 &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/capitol-police-officer-who-died-during-capitol-riot-to-lie-in-honor-in-rotunda\/\" title=\"Capitol Police Officer Who Died During Capitol Riot To Lie In Honor In Rotunda\">severe injuries<\/a>&#8221; after taking these drugs and is the first to\u200d assert\u200c that \u2062they can \u2064cause gastrointestinal \u2063injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, studies conducted on rodents have indicated a\u200d potential risk of thyroid tumors\u200d and cancer associated with \u200dOzempic.
