Have You Suffered Serious Side Effects from Ozempic, Wegovy, or Similar Medications? You May Be Entitled to Compensation
If you or a loved one used Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Rybelsus, or Trulicity for weight loss or diabetes management and experienced severe side effects, you may have a legal claim. At the Maher Law Firm, we are investigating cases involving dangerous side effects from these GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. Our experienced attorneys are here to help you seek justice and compensation for your suffering.
What Are Ozempic, Wegovy, and Similar Medications?
Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Rybelsus, and Trulicity are prescription medications commonly used to manage type 2 diabetes or aid in weight loss. These drugs belong to a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking a hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite. While these medications have gained popularity, they have also been linked to serious and life-altering side effects.
Serious Side Effects Linked to These Medications
Unfortunately, some patients who took these medications have experienced severe health complications, including:
- Persistent Vomiting: Vomiting lasting at least four weeks, severe enough to require hospital admission or multiple ER visits. This may indicate conditions like gastroparesis or ileus.
- Gastroparesis (Stomach Paralysis): Also known as “frozen stomach,” this condition slows or stops stomach emptying, causing pain, nausea, and malnutrition.
- Bowel Obstruction: A blockage in the intestines that often requires hospitalization or surgical intervention (not simple constipation).
- Gallbladder Removal: Cases involving gallbladder removal before March 2023 for Ozempic and Wegovy users (Mounjaro cases do not qualify).
- NAION (Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy): A rare but serious condition that can lead to sudden vision loss.
- Pancreatic Cancer: A potentially fatal condition linked to these medications in some cases.
- Death: Tragic cases where patients passed away due to complications potentially linked to these drugs.
If you or a loved one experienced any of these conditions after taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Rybelsus, or Trulicity, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit.
