Ozempic (semaglutide) Lawsuit

The drug semaglutide, also known by its brand name, Ozempic, was originally designed for patients who have Type 2 Diabetes. It comes in the form of an injection that must be given weekly. The drug assists the pancreas in making additional insulin, which cuts down the number of insulin injections diabetics need on a regular basis. As a result, their blood sugar levels out.

The condition can last for days, if not longer, and has no known treatment or cure, meaning that you may suffer from life-long consequences after taking Ozempic or semaglutide.

If you’ve suffered from gastroparesis for four weeks or longer, you may qualify to pursue a lawsuit against Novo Nordisk in order to recoup compensation for pain and suffering, as well as future medical procedures as a result of this major side effect.

If you have taken Ozempic, also known as semaglutide, but have not suffered from gastroparesis or one of the other major side effects of the drug, then you still may be eligible for:

These are just a few examples of the potential results of filing a lawsuit against the makers of Ozempic. Others are still pending.
