In recent years we have seen an increasing number of adverse event reports for three Novo Nordisk semaglutide-containing drugs — Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy — that involve severe stomach conditions, including:
- Gastroparesis
- Gastric Stasis
- Stomach Paralysis
The most common symptoms are nausea and vomiting, which can be severely disabling and can adversely impact the quality of life in patients suffering from these possible side effects of semaglutide-containing drugs such as Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy.
People experiencing gastroparesis, gastric stasis, or stomach paralysis often go to the emergency department/emergency room (ER) of their local hospital, sometimes several different times, before finally being admitted to the hospital.
While an ER doctor may determine that a person using one of the semaglutide-containing drugs has developed severe stomach conditions and then orders hospital admission, the actual medical diagnosis of gastroparesis or gastric stasis is usually made by a gastroenterologist, also called a GI doctor.
We are currently investigating drug injury lawsuits for people diagnosed with possible side effects of semaglutide-containing drugs such as Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy.
In more detail, these drug injury lawsuits involve someone who:
- Was actively using or recently stopped using Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy at the time they started to experience symptoms of these severe stomach conditions;
- Was diagnosed by a medical doctor with gastroparesis, gastric stasis, or stomach paralysis; and,
- Was hospitalized for those possible side effects of semaglutide-containing drugs such as Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy.
