A 49-year-old mother-of-two has issued a stark warning about the dangers of weight loss injections after she was hospitalised with terrifying side effects, including passing black urine and fearing for her life.
Emma Smith (name changed for privacy) claims she was prescribed the popular weight loss jab as part of her fitness journey. However, within weeks, she began experiencing alarming symptoms that left her doctors baffled.
Horrifying Symptoms
Emma recalls the moment she noticed something was terribly wrong. "I woke up one morning and my urine was pitch black," she said. "I thought I was going to die." Rushed to hospital, she was diagnosed with a severe reaction to the medication.
Medical Emergency
Doctors confirmed Emma was suffering from a rare but serious side effect known as rhabdomyolysis, where muscle tissue breaks down rapidly, releasing a protein that turns urine dark. "The pain was unbearable," Emma admitted. "I couldn't move without screaming."
A Warning to Others
Now recovering at home, Emma wants to caution others about the potential risks of weight loss injections. "These jabs are being handed out like sweets," she warned. "People need to know they can be dangerous."
Medical experts stress that while such severe reactions are rare, patients should always consult their GP before starting any weight loss treatment and report unusual symptoms immediately.
