Humans have been searching for the silver bullet for weight loss since the dawn of time. Everyone wants an easy cure-all that helps them shed excess pounds without focusing on diet and exercise. These days, that silver bullet is the drug Ozempic. Unfortunately, what many patients did not anticipate when taking this miracle drug for weight loss were the numerous and significant gastrointestinal side effects.

Ozempic may help people take off extra weight, but it can also cause adverse side effects and health complications. At Law Experts, we want to help individuals on Ozempic understand their legal rights. If you’ve taken the weight-loss drug and experienced significant medical problems and injuries as a result, you may be able to seek compensation for your financial losses.

What Is Ozempic and How Does it Work?

Originally, Ozempic was marketed as a drug for people with Type II diabetes. Type II diabetes is a significant health condition that occurs when the body fails to regulate and use sugar or glucose properly. People with type II diabetes generally have two issues. The first problem is the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate the movement of glucose into cells for energy. The second issue is that the cells in the body respond poorly to insulin and may take in less sugar.

Ozempic is an injectable medication that works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone in the body. It helps lower blood sugar and triggers the pancreas to make more insulin when blood sugar levels become elevated. It also slows down food as it leaves the stomach. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Ozempic to help treat type II diabetes, lowering blood sugar and A1C levels.

However, those using Ozempic also reported weight loss as a side effect of the drug. The active ingredient in Ozempic, semaglutide, has been shown to assist in weight loss. Mimicking a naturally occurring hormone in the body, Ozempic sends signals to the brain, telling the brain that the stomach feels full. The drug slows digestion and increases the time it takes for food to leave the stomach. The result? You tend to eat less and lose weight.

While Ozempic is FDA-approved to treat type II diabetes, it is not FDA-approved for treating obesity. Instead, physicians can prescribe it off-label to people without diabetes who want to use it to manage their weight. The FDA has approved Wegovy for weight loss purposes. Wegovy is a similar semaglutide product. Ozempic and Wegovy are both manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk.

What Are the Side Effects of Using Ozempic for Weight Loss?

Ozempic may not be the magic weight loss drug many hoped for. Recent studies indicate that semaglutide-containing injectable weight loss drugs like Ozempic can increase a person’s risk of significant digestive issues and gastrointestinal distress. These medical complications amount to more than a stomachache or mild discomfort. Some of the commonly reported side effects linked to Ozempic use for weight loss include:

There are indications that Ozempic use may also lead to gallbladder disease and pancreatitis. Changes in vision, kidney failure, thyroid tumors, and cancer, especially pancreatic cancer, may also potentially be linked to Ozempic use for weight loss. European safety review boards are also examining potential links between the drug and suicidal tendencies.

The risk of these severe health complications is more pronounced when the drug is used for long periods and at higher dosages, which may be the case when the drug gets prescribed for weight loss. More mild side effects may dissipate over time after an individual stops taking the drug. However, many people continue to report complications from gallbladder-related issues even after discontinuing the use of Ozempic.

Can You Sue Novo Nordisk, the Makers of Ozempic?

Individuals across the country are already mounting lawsuits against drug maker Novo Nordisk for the significant side effects and medical complications associated with Ozempic for weight loss. How do you know if you can file a lawsuit against the makers of Ozempic?

First, you must prove you have used the drug Ozempic for weight loss purposes. You must also show that you have suffered severe health issues related to the drug, like gastroparesis, bowel obstruction, or other significant medical conditions. These medical issues must have caused you injuries or harm in addition to financial losses. For a quick answer to your lawsuit eligibility question, you can fill out this short questionnaire. It can help determine if you may be eligible to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries from the drug manufacturer.

An experienced attorney can also carefully review your situation and determine whether filing a lawsuit offers you the best possible chance at recovering the money you deserve for your medical issues and financial losses. A skilled lawyer also understands how state-specific statutes of limitations, eligibility criteria, and other factors may influence your case.

Compensation Available to Individuals Injured by Ozempic for Weight Loss

Estimating the value of a case is always challenging. Several factors can impact how much money an individual can pursue for their injuries and other financial losses. Working with a knowledgeable attorney is the best way to determine the fair value of your potential case. In many situations, an individual can seek money for the following losses:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

In rare cases, a judge or jury may also award an individual punitive damages. Unlike money for medical expenses or lost wages, punitive damages do not compensate you for actual losses. Instead, these are financial penalties against an individual or company that are awarded to an injured individual to dissuade others from engaging in similar careless behavior and actions. Punitive damages are typically only awarded in cases where the actions of a company or individual are particularly reckless or malicious. Some jurisdictions also place caps, or limits, on the amount of money someone can collect for punitive damages.

An attorney can examine the circumstances of your unique situation and give you a better understanding of the value of your case and what to expect from the legal process.

What Can an Ozempic Attorney Do for You?

You trusted your doctor to do what’s right for you. Your doctor trusted a pharmaceutical company to give them access to safe and effective drugs. If you have been injured because of the careless actions of a pharmaceutical company or manufacturer, you may be able to hold them accountable and recover compensation for the injuries you suffered because of their drug. However, going head-to-head with a billion-dollar drug maker can be overwhelming. That’s why you need the extensive resources and legal knowledge of an Ozempic attorney.
