It isn’t.

Or, to your basic point, how dare anybody raise any questions with the vaunted ozempic. Nothing bad has ever happened with any medical intervention ever. Even when the package inserts actually list all the potential side effects; those are just fake news.

Please explain the flaw in the analogy? Also, please point to where any package insert for Ozempic indicates that it puts the user at higher risk for cholangiocarcinoma.

Package inserts are updated all the time. There is no harm in OP asking the question. The fact that any negative question about these medications gets shouted down is telling. Haven’t you learned anything in the last five year about that kind of behavior? I guess not.

So how would a good answer to the question go in your mind?

The one at 11:20 is a good response.

Have you not learned anything about logic and reasoning. One person having a cancer and being on a mediation doesn't establish correlation let alone causation. You need something more to draw any conclusion. Attacking PP combined with a whataboutism response isn't really persuasive.

Didn’t Oprah just have shi$ coming from both ends recently and hospitalized? Gayle went in and in about it.

Your logic is faulty. PP was right.

I had to have my gall bladder removed years before I went on Zepbound.

Yes, of course you should be concerned about side effects of any medication you take and do it under doctor supervision.

Yes op my friends husband had to have his gallbladder removed now they're watching "spots." on other organs!

I mean the link you posted says "This systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs found that use of GLP-1 RAs was associated with increased risk of gallbladder or biliary diseases, especially when used at higher doses, for longer durations, and for weight loss."
It doesn't talk about biliary cancer specifically though and there's no evidence I know associating GLP1s to cancer.

Primary bile duct cancer cholangiocarcinoma is really rare in general especially for her age.

Coincidence.

Never heard of any other cases.

I’m on Ozempic for menopausal weight loss. Only looking to lose 20 lbs. I’ve tried everything the past 5 years and the weight hasn’t budged. Ozemouc is the first thing that’s been successful for me and it is such a freedom to not have cravings/food noise (!).

But I have concerns about scary side effects. A dear friend of mine has been on it for weight loss purposes for 1.5 years. She had some excess post-pregnancy weight and lost about 25 lbs. Looked amazing.

She had gallbladder problems on it, which is a known side effect. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35344001/

During imaging for her gallbladder they discovered she has a rare form of deadly liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma. She’s 34. Divorced. Has 2 kids. I can’t help but wonder if there is a correlation w/the meds & the cancer. It’s a bit scary. She’s healthy. No family history of cancer.

Has anyone heard anything like this??
