The European Medicines Agency’s safety committee is looking into the risk of suicidal thoughts and thoughts of self-harm in patients who used popular medicines for weight loss, like Ozempic, the regulator told CNN
The review comes after three case reports raised by the Icelandic Medicines Agency, the regulator said by email. Two were cases of suicidal thoughts, one following the use of Ozempic and another after use of another drug, called Saxenda. The third case involved thoughts of self-injury with Saxenda, the EMA said. Ozempic, which contains the drug semaglutide, is cleared for type 2 diabetes, while Saxenda contains a similar drug called liraglutide and is approved for chronic weight management.
The prescribing information says “there was insufficient information to establish a causal relationship to Saxenda.” There is no similar warning in the US prescribing information for Ozempic, although the information for Wegovy notes that suicidal behavior and ideation have been reported in clinical trials with other weight management products and says patients should be monitored for depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, or any unusual changes in mood or behavior.
