Ozempic. Mounjaro. Wegovy. You’ve probably seen them mentioned by celebrities, influencers, and even doctors. But while these injections have helped some people lose weight, others have ended up in hospital — or are now living with serious health issues they were never warned about.
Now, with Mounjaro becoming available via GPs in England, understanding the risks has never been more important.
We’ve launched a new UK guide to help you get informed — before you start treatment, or if you’re already dealing with complications.
Why we’ve launched this guide now
Because behind every success story, there are real people who’ve experienced life-changing side effects — and many say they weren’t properly warned.
While weight loss jabs have helped some people feel healthier and more confident, others have ended up with:
Stomach paralysis (gastroparesis)
Pancreatitis and gallbladder problems
Severe vomiting and dehydration
Mental health complications
Unexpected weight gain after stopping
Pregnancy-related risks and failed contraception
In the US, lawsuits are already underway. As of April 2025, 1,685 cases had been filed against drug manufacturers for harm caused by GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro.
What’s inside the guide
Whether you’re thinking about getting a jab through the NHS, a private clinic or an online provider, our new guide breaks down:
How these drugs were originally developed — and how their use has expanded
What the real side effects look like, from mild nausea to hospital stays
How people are getting these drugs online, sometimes without proper checks
What UK regulators are doing (and where protections still fall short)
Your legal rights if you’ve been harmed
How to report side effects and stay informed if legal action begins
If you’ve been affected — or are thinking about starting
We believe everyone has the right to honest, balanced information. That’s why we created this guide — to put the full picture in your hands.
If you’re experiencing side effects, or have questions about how you were prescribed a weight loss drug, you’re not alone. We explain what you can do, what your rights are, and how to stay ahead of any legal developments.
