Episode Synopsis

In recent months, lawsuits connected to popular weight loss drugs such as Ozempic have skyrocketed, with plaintiffs claiming that the warnings for side effects weren’t properly indicated. While it can be argued that television commercials promoting these drugs fall short in describing “every" potential side effect, the printed inserts that come with the prescriptions are typically very detailed. We debate this issue, including potential legal cases that could be made against the drug makers, and also whether patients are properly using the drugs for their intended purpose.Host: Gerard RamalhoAttorney: Tony AbbatangeloGuest: Dr. Daliah Wachs
