Ozempic® Case Evaluation

Ozempic and GLP-1 RA Drug Risks

Ozempic® is a prescription drug approved to treat type 2 diabetes. Some doctors are also prescribing it to help overweight people with weight loss. Those who have used the drug are claiming that companies failed to warn of potential side effects associated with weight loss drugs like Ozempic® and other drugs in the GLP-1 category. It is alleged that, because of this failure to warn, users experienced gastrointestinal injuries. The lawsuits seek compensation from Novo Nordisk and others.

Increased Risk of Gastrointestinal Injuries

There are a number of side effects associated with Ozempic® and similar drugs in the GLP-1 family of medicines. The lawsuits being filed for these drugs are for those who say the side effects they experienced were more serious than expected. They also claim that drug manufacturers failed to adequately warn patients about these reactions.

Ozempic® and Wegovy are considered GLP-1 agonists. Patients take them to help control blood sugar or lose weight. Some patients, however, experienced serious side effects after taking these drugs including:

• Chronic vomiting
• Intestinal or bowel obstruction
• Intestinal paralysis (ileus)
• Pancreatic Cancer
• Stomach paralysis (gastroparesis)
• Deep Vein Thrombosis
