Did you Suffer Stomach Paralysis 

GASTROPARESIS (STOMACH PARALYSIS)

  • Attorney Tracy Paulsen can help you if you suffered Gastoparesis— also known as Stomach Paralysis.  

One of the most common claims tied to Ozempic is stomach paralysis, also called gastroparesis. This is a dangerous medical condition that slows down or even paralyzes stomach and intestinal muscles, preventing the normal movement of food through the body. Gastroparesis can be a debilitating condition, the symptoms of which include:

  • Severe nausea and vomiting
  • Abdominal pain and bloating
  • Loss of appetite and weight loss
  • Malnutrition and dehydration
  • Difficulty eating and absorbing nutrients

The effects of gastroparesis can be so severe that that surgical intervention is necessary to address the issue. Severe gastroparesis cases may require feeding through a jejunostomy tube, which is a tube placed through the skin of the abdomen into the midsection of the small intestine.

THE OZEMPIC LAWSUIT

Why are the Ozempic Drug Manufacturers Legally Responsible for Your Injuries?

Attorney Tracy Paulsen is passionate about using the legal system to create social change and prevent people from unnecessarily suffering while major corporations take in record profits.  The Ozempic Drug companies failed to warn users of these consequences.  That is why they are responsible for your injuries and why Attorney Paulsen can help you recover money.  

What is a Failure to Warn in a Massachusetts Ozempic Lawsuit

A failure to warn is when a Company puts a product into the market with harmful potential side effects that were not disclosed to the user of the drug.  Drug companies have a duty to warn the user about potential adverse side effects, before a drug can be marketed to consumers. The companies have a duty to investigate and research all the possible side effects that a drug like Ozempic can cause.  

  • Drug manufacturers are required to disclose known side effects and health risks associated with their products, working in conjunction with the FDA. 

Side effects of Ozempic include nausea, vomiting and even thyroid tumors. In September 2023, the FDA ordered that intestinal blockage be added to the list of side effects for Ozempic. After this time, the first lawsuits were filed over the safety of Ozempic suggesting a link between the drugs and severe gastrointestinal problems, like gastroparesis and gastric obstruction. The FDA has not added an official warning for these side effects.  

What Allegations are being made in the lawsuit against Ozempic? 

The Ozempic Lawsuit claims that the drug manufacturers were aware or should have been aware of these side effects and did not inform the public or the medical community, and therefore failed to provide adequate warnings of the health risks associated with these drugs.

  • There are a number of class action lawsuit for Ozempic. In February 2024, the Ozempic lawsuits were consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) as MDL 3094, In Re: Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAS) Products Liability Litigation, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
