The Dhaka Times Desk An Australian woman took drugs to lose weight for her daughter's wedding. But it is too late to take this medicine. The woman died of digestive system disease after taking weight loss medicine!
US media New York Post reports that 56-year-old Trish Webster was taking Novo Nordisk drug Ozempic for weight loss. This drug is used for type-2 diabetes and weight loss.
Ozempic is established as a popular weight loss drug all over the world. The New York Post reports that the drug works primarily by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which slows down the passage of food through the stomach and intestines. It keeps the stomach full for a long time.
However, this drug can cause problems if it slows down the stomach too much or blocks the intestines. Maybe the same happened to that woman.
The victim's husband, Roy Webster, said his wife also took an injection called Saxenda, a compound of Ozempic prescribed by a doctor. Thus he lost 15 kg weight in 5 months. However, despite losing weight, the woman Trish fell ill quickly.
On January 16 this year, Roy noticed that his wife was oozing a brown liquid from her mouth. Trish died that night. However, the doctors said that Trish's death was not caused by the medicine. However, the doctors are completely unwilling to accept the demands.
Meanwhile, in a statement, Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic, said that they became aware of the problem only after the drug became popular in the market.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
