What Do We Know About Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus Gastroparesis/Stomach Paralysis Lawsuits?

Several lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers of Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus, alleging that these medications can cause gastroparesis or stomach paralysis. These drugs, which are GLP-1 receptor agonists used for weight loss and diabetes management, have been associated with severe gastrointestinal issues in some patients.

Gastroparesis and Related Symptoms: Gastroparesis, or stomach paralysis, is a condition where the stomach muscles fail to function properly, causing delayed gastric emptying. Symptoms include severe nausea, vomiting, bloating, stomach pain, and a feeling of fullness after eating small amounts of food. The condition can lead to severe complications such as intestinal blockage, malnutrition, and dehydration​.

Lawsuits and Allegations: Patients filing lawsuits claim that the manufacturers, Novo Nordisk (for Ozempic and Wegovy) and Eli Lilly (for Mounjaro), did not adequately warn about the risks of gastroparesis and other gastrointestinal side effects. These lawsuits allege that the drug makers downplayed these risks, leading to severe health issues for the users​.

Eligibility for Lawsuits: To qualify for these lawsuits, patients typically need to demonstrate:

• Prescription of the drug for diabetes or weight management.
• Development of severe gastrointestinal issues, including gastroparesis, after starting the medication.
• Medical records linking their condition to the drug.
• Significant harm caused by these side effects, such as hospitalizations or missed work​

Current Status and Legal Actions: The lawsuits are still in progress, with more patients potentially joining as awareness of the side effects increases. Some cases may be consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) to streamline the legal process. Settlements might be reached outside of court to avoid prolonged litigation and additional negative publicity for the pharmaceutical companies​.
