If you have used Ozempic for weight loss or to manage type 2 diabetes and have since developed severe health conditions such as gastroparesis or other serious health issues, you may be entitled to potential compensation. Ozempic, which contains the active ingredient semaglutide, has been linked to various significant health problems. Consumers have reported serious side effects that have led to ongoing lawsuits against the manufacturer, Novo Nordisk.

 

Recent investigations have revealed that Ozempic and similar GLP-1 receptor antagonist medications can cause severe gastrointestinal disorders and other health issues. While many individuals have used these medications to manage their diabetes effectively and others used Ozempic for weight loss, they were often unaware of the potential risks associated with their use. As awareness of these risks increases, more individuals are joining the Ozempic lawsuit to seek justice and compensation for their suffering.

 


Background of the Ozempic Lawsuit

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels. Manufactured by Novo Nordisk, Ozempic has also gained popularity for its off-label use in weight management. However, serious concerns have emerged regarding the drug's potential health risks, leading to a growing number of lawsuits.
 

The Health Risks of Ozempic

The primary focus of the lawsuits is the severe gastrointestinal and other health issues reported by users of Ozempic. Ozempic long-term side effects include but are not limited to:

  • Gastroparesis (stomach paralysis): This condition slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain.
  • Pulmonary Aspiration: Occurs when food, liquid, or other material enters the lungs from the throat or stomach, rather than following the normal path into the stomach.
  •  Intestinal blockage/obstruction: Cases of ileus, where the intestines fail to move food properly, leading to severe digestive distress.
     

Ozempic lawsuits claim that the science behind Ozempic was wrong and that Novo Nordisk failed to adequately warn users about these risks, potentially exposing millions of patients to significant health dangers. If you or a loved one have suffered from Ozempic long-term side effects, you may be eligible to participate in the class action lawsuit.


Timeline and Legal Actions

The concerns regarding Ozempic's safety began gaining traction as more patients reported severe side effects. This led to multiple Ozempic lawsuits being filed against Novo Nordisk, claiming that the company failed to provide adequate warnings about the potential risks associated with Ozempic.

  • 2021: Initial reports and complaints about serious side effects from Ozempic began to surface.
  • 2022: Research linked Ozempic to a higher risk of gallbladder diseases, sparking further legal actions.
  • 2023: A significant Ozempic lawsuit was filed by Jaclyn Bjorklund, highlighting severe vomiting and other side effects. This case became a focal point for consolidating other similar lawsuits.
  • 2024: The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation combined 55 lawsuits into a federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, under Judge Gene E.K. Pratter.

 

Eligibility for the Ozempic Lawsuit

Individuals who have used Ozempic and developed serious health conditions may qualify for the ongoing Ozempic lawsuit including one of the following Ozempic long-term side effects:

  • Persistent vomiting for +4 weeks (diagnosis must be while taking the product OR within 60 days of stopping and must have experienced vomiting 1 month or more)
  • Gastric Injury (diagnosis must be while taking product OR within 60 days of stopping)
  • A gastric injury is any injury related to the gastrointestinal tract
  • Ileus 
  •  Gastroparesis/ stomach paralysis
  • Pulmonary Aspiration (associated with anesthesia/surgery)
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
     

Be sure to contact legal counsel to determine your eligibility and initiate the claim process. Various factors impact eligibility and all cases are unique.
