NONOF - Did Ozempic Play A Role In A Man's Suicide? Family Seeks Warning Label | Benzinga
The family of a man who died by suicide is seeking a warning label on the ‘miracle’ weight loss drug Ozempic, claiming it contributed to his death, NBC News reported.
The family believes the man’s mood changes were linked to his use of Type 2 diabetes medicine.
The man, identified only as Anthony for privacy reasons, started taking Ozempic in February. By May, his family noticed a change in his usually outgoing personality, claiming he appeared fatigued and sullen. Anthony died by suicide in his Indiana home on May 14.
While Anthony had a history of depression, his family was shocked by his death and attributed it to his use of Ozempic.
“I think the Ozempic was putting these suicidal thoughts in his mind,” said Anthony’s sister.
