Listen to our three-part series, Investigating Ozempic.

Australia’s medicines regulator has issued a safety alert for Ozempic and similar drugs over a potential risk of suicidal thoughts. The updated warning follows a spike in reports of suicidal ideation linked to weight-loss medications to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Today, we’ll explore what led to this moment and what it means for patients.

Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Billi FitzSimons
