If you have taken or been prescribed weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Trulicity, Mounjaro, or Saxenda and have suffered adverse health effects, you may be entitled to compensation. These medications, originally intended for Type 2 diabetes, have recently gained popularity for weight loss but have also been linked to serious side effects, including gastroparesis, or “stomach paralysis.”
For many, the promises of quick weight loss have turned into a nightmare. Recent reports have documented severe cases of stomach paralysis among users of these medications, with patients experiencing extreme nausea, vomiting, and even hospitalization due to complications like gastroparesis. Medical experts predict that cases like these may increase, as more people report similar symptoms.
If you or a loved one have experienced adverse side effects during or after using Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Trulicity, Mounjaro, or Saxenda, it’s important to understand your rights. By taking legal action, you may be able to hold manufacturers accountable for their negligence and obtain compensation for your suffering.

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription drug primarily used to manage Type 2 diabetes by regulating insulin and lowering blood sugar levels. However, it has recently been used as a weight loss medication due to its effects on appetite.
Wegovy contains the same active ingredient as Ozempic but at a higher dose, specifically approved for weight loss in individuals with a high BMI or related metabolic conditions.
Saxenda, a formulation of liraglutide, was initially approved to manage Type 2 diabetes but is now prescribed solely for weight loss.
Rybelsus is an oral medication for Type 2 diabetes that enhances blood sugar control. Some individuals transition from Rybelsus tablets to Ozempic injections for ongoing treatment.
Trulicity (dulaglutide) is another medication for Type 2 diabetes that helps manage blood sugar and slows stomach emptying, promoting a feeling of fullness after eating.
What Are the Allegations Against Ozempic and Similar Drugs?
Reports of adverse reactions such as gastroparesis (stomach paralysis), persistent vomiting, and other severe symptoms have raised concerns. Allegations suggest that manufacturers may have failed to adequately warn users of these risks.
Gastroparesis, a debilitating condition causing slowed or stopped digestion, currently has no cure and can lead to severe health issues.
These drugs mimic the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar but can also delay stomach emptying, causing nausea and vomiting in some individuals.
If you believe you’ve been harmed by a weight loss drug, seek immediate medical care. Then, consider consulting with an attorney experienced in these cases to explore your legal options.
