Ozempic Lawsuit – Wegovy Rybelsus Lawsuits – Stomach Injury Settlements

Have you or a loved one suffered from gastroparesis or stomach paralysis after using the weight loss drugs Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus?

You may be entitled to compensation. These medications, intended for type 2 diabetes and obesity treatment, have been linked to serious gastrointestinal complications.

Criteria for Consideration:

  • Age: 75 or younger at the time of intake
  • Brand Name Use: Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus only (no generics or other GLP-1 RA drugs)
  • Diagnosis: Gastroparesis, Stomach Paralysis, or Gastric Obstruction while on the drug or within 30 days of stopping

Understanding the Lawsuits

Recent reports and studies have highlighted the risks associated with these GLP-1 receptor agonists. Doctors are reporting cases of gastroparesis/stomach paralysis linked to these weight loss drugs, yet the manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, did not adequately warn patients and healthcare providers.

Understanding Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus

  • These drugs are glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) containing the active ingredient semaglutide.
  • Ozempic is for type 2 diabetes treatment, while Wegovy is FDA-approved for weight loss.
  • Rybelsus is an oral tablet for type 2 diabetes.

About Gastroparesis/Stomach Paralysis

This condition affects stomach emptying, leading to nausea, vomiting, and more. There is no cure, and treatments provide temporary relief.

Complications & Risks

  • Dehydration
  • Malnutrition
  • Blood sugar control issues
  • Decreased quality of life
  • Life-threatening bezoars (solid masses in the stomach)

Compensation You Deserve

In a verdict or settlement, you may be eligible for various types of compensation, including:

  • Medical treatment costs (past and future)
  • Lost income (past and future)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Possible punitive damages
