As of August 2024, there are lawsuits against the drug Ozempic that allege it can cause severe gastrointestinal issues, vision loss, and death. The lawsuits claim that the drug's manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, and its generic partner, Eli Lilly, failed to warn patients of these risks. The first Ozempic lawsuit was filed on August 2, 2023, and as of June 2024, there were 101 cases in a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In an MDL, lawsuits with the same allegations against the same defendants are consolidated into one court for the pre-trial process.

Some of the alleged side effects of Ozempic include:
- Gastroparesis: Also known as stomach paralysis, this condition can occur when the stomach muscles are damaged and have trouble emptying food properly.
- Ileus: Another gastrointestinal issue that can be caused by Ozempic.
- Intestinal blockage: Another gastrointestinal issue that can be caused by Ozempic.
Plaintiffs in these lawsuits claim that the drug's warning label doesn't adequately warn patients about these risks, even though it does mention that Ozempic can delay gastric emptying and may cause nausea and vomiting.
If you or a loved one has taken Ozempic and experienced serious side effects, you may be eligible for compensation in an Ozempic lawsuit. Compensation may include:
- Medical expenses, both past and future
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Other economic and non-economic damages
