Ozempic, Mounjaro makers hit with ‘stomach paralysis’ lawsuit
Stomachs remain full of days-old rotting food, which is unusual because less than 10% of food consumed is left in the stomach four hours after a meal
The drugs work by mimicking a natural hormone, GLP-1, which slows down the passage of food through the stomach, making people feel full for longer.
However, issues start to arise if the drugs slow down the stomach too much, causing some to develop gastroparesis.
