Ozempic Lawsuits for Causing Stomach Paralysis, Gastroparesis, Intestinal Problems and Vision Loss

Ozempic, a popular diabetes and weight loss drug, is tied to dangerous stomach and intestinal problems. People taking Ozempic have filed lawsuits across the country alleging the drug caused stomach paralysis and other serious side effects.

THIS LAWSUIT WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR ELIGIBILITY TO COLLECT VA DISABILITY BENEFITS.

In 2022 the FDA’s own reporting system (FAERS) warned of a potential risk of intestinal obstruction from Ozempic and Wegovy. The FDA received high numbers of reports from people who experienced stomach issues, intestinal blockages, and blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) after using Ozempic or Wegovy.

    It belongs to the class of drugs known as H2 (or histamine02) blockers. OTC ranitidine was commonly used to relieve and prevent heartburn. Prescription strengths were also used to treat and prevent more severe ulcers in the stomach and intestines.

    Based upon the FDA’s ongoing investigation, levels of a carcinogen called nitrosamine (N-nitrosodimethylamine or NDMA) in the heartburn medication increase over time and posed a risk of cancer when stored at higher than room temperatures.

    What are the Ozempic Lawsuits About?

    Lawsuits against NovoNordisk, the maker of Ozempic, claim the company did not warn patients about the possible intestinal and gastric side effects, like gastroparesis, from using Ozempic. The lawsuits also allege that the manufacturers were negligent in the testing and monitoring of the drugs post-approval to ensure safety.
    Anyone who took Ozempic and experienced stomach paralysis, blood clots, or other intestinal issues may be eligible to file a claim against the manufacturer for compensation.

    Ozempic Class Action Lawsuit or Multi-District Litigation

    In February 2024 all GLP-1 lawsuits were grouped together into one federal court for what is called a Multidistrict Litigation, or MDL. This grouping of cases is similar to a class action lawsuit, but follows a different legal process: every single person with a filed case will have a right to their own individual trial.

    People affected by these severe side effects are seeking money for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to their health. They are also calling for more stringent regulatory actions and clearer, more comprehensive labeling of the drugs to prevent further cases.

    Ozempic Linked to Stomach Paralysis or Gastroparesis

    Gastroparesis is a condition that slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and feeling full quickly after starting to eat. Longer term complications from Ozempic induced gastroparesis can include malnutrition, severe dehydration, and organ failure. These conditions can be severe and require immediate medical attention.

    Lawsuits for Ozempic Side Effects

    Ozempic and other similar weight loss drugs have been associated with a range of side effects. Here’s a list of the reported side effects from people who have filed lawsuits claiming Ozempic caused these issues:

    • Gastrointestinal Issues:Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These symptoms are often most pronounced when beginning treatment and may decrease over time.
    • Thickening of Cervical Mucus:The injection thickens cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to pass through the cervix and reach an egg.
    • Gastroparesis:This is a condition where the stomach stops pushing food along and can no longer empty its contents. This can be severe, leading to symptoms like malnutrition and dehydration.
    • Eye stroke or NAION: Research shows semaglutide medications like Ozempic may cause a higher risk of developing an eye stroke, or a rare condition called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)
    • Deep vein thrombosis or blood clots: Research shows that semaglutide medications like Ozempic can increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis by 266%.
