“Can I Sue for Ozempic Side Effects in Court?”
If you were injured after taking Ozempic or other weight-loss drugs, you may have a right to sue to recover for your injuries.
Ozempic is typically prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes. However, it has been linked to severe, sometimes catastrophic side effects. These adverse effects may include acute pancreatitis, thyroid cancer, or severe gastrointestinal issues. The drug, which was initially hailed for its effectiveness in lowering blood sugar levels and aiding in weight loss, has now become a source of distress for many patients due to these unforeseen complications.
Ozempic Lawsuits
In 2023, lawsuits surrounding Ozempic began to gain momentum as more patients came forward with their experiences of severe side effects. These reports raised significant concerns about the safety profile of the drug and whether adequate warnings were provided to patients and healthcare professionals. As the number of affected individuals grew, the legal community responded by consolidating individual claims into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) to streamline the process and address the claims more efficiently.
What is Multidistrict Litigation (MDL)?
MDL is a legal procedure designed to consolidate complex cases involving similar claims against common defendants to one court under a single judge. This process enhances judicial efficiency, reduces the burden on the court system, and provides a cohesive approach to handling numerous cases that share factual issues. In the context of Ozempic lawsuits, the MDL centralizes lawsuits from across the country, enabling collective discovery and pre-trial proceedings while preserving the unique aspects of each plaintiff’s case.

Lawsuit for Ozempic Side Effects
Cardiovascular
There are reports of Ozempic being linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes. Symptoms can range from chest pain and shortness of breath to sudden weakness and speech difficulties.
Cardiovascular events can result in long-term health complications, disabilities, and even be life-threatening, leading to extensive medical care and rehabilitation needs.
Gastrointestinal
Patients have alleged Ozempic can cause severe gastrointestinal disorders, such as gastroparesis, where stomach emptying is delayed, leading to nausea, vomiting, bloating, and loss of appetite.
As a result, patients may suffer from malnutrition, dehydration, and the need for hospitalization to manage symptoms, significantly diminishing their quality of life.
Kidney Failure
Some patients taking weight-loss medication have reported kidney failure after using Ozempic, a condition where the kidneys lose their filtering ability. This can lead to swelling, shortness of breath, fatigue, and confusion.
Kidney failure is a severe, chronic and life-altering condition, and treatment to manage complications may necessitate lifelong dialysis or a kidney transplant, drastically affecting a patient’s quality of life and financial stability.
Hypoglycemia
Although Ozempic is designed to lower blood sugar levels, patients have reported that it can sometimes cause them to drop too low, a condition known as severe hypoglycemia. Symptoms include shakiness, confusion, heart palpitations, and seizures.
Severe hypoglycemic episodes for patients taking weight-loss medication like Ozempic can result in serious and potentially fatal accidents, falls, loss of consciousness, and in extreme cases, brain damage or death.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy involves damage to the blood vessels in the retina, potentially worsened by rapid changes in blood sugar levels, which some patients have allegedly experienced after taking dosages of Ozempic.
The consequences can be severe and affects a patient’s activities of daily living. It can lead to vision impairment, blindness, and the need for surgical interventions, significantly impacting daily functioning and independence.
Thyroid C-Cell Tumors
In pending litigation, patients allege Ozempic has been associated with the development of thyroid C-cell tumors, a type of thyroid cancer. Symptoms can include a lump or swelling in the neck, difficulty swallowing, throat pain, and changes in voice.
Patients affected by thyroid tumors may need surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, leading to significant physical and emotional distress, as well as financial burdens from medical treatments.
Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is a severe inflammation of the pancreas that can lead to life-threatening complications. Symptoms include intense abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever.
According to medical experts, patients suffering from Ozempic-induced pancreatitis may experience acute episodes requiring hospitalization, chronic pain, digestive issues, and in severe cases, organ failure or pancreatic cancer.
