If you're currently using medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity, or Saxenda, please take note of the following instructions. These medications belong to a class known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are commonly prescribed to assist with weight loss and the management of diabetes.

GLP-1 medications may delay stomach emptying, which can:

• Increase the risk of vomiting or aspiration (inhaling stomach contents into your lungs) under anaesthesia

• Lead to serious complications or postponement of your procedure

See the linked document for specific instructions on what to do when you are on these medications and having surgery.
