There have been increasing numbers of Ozempic users now coming forward with serious stomach symptoms and a diagnosis of stomach paralysis tied to Ozempic use. According to CNN, “ Doctors say that more cases like these are coming to light as the popularity of the drugs soared. The US Food and Drug Administration said it has received reports of people on the drugs experiencing stomach paralysis that sometimes has not resolved by the time it’s reported.”
Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, has continued to deny claims that the drug is unsafe as more and more victims come forward. Additionally, it is suspected that similar drugs including Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Saxenda, and Wegovy may cause similar negative health side effects.
If you or a loved one have taken Ozempic and have since been diagnosed with stomach paralysis or another stomach condition, you might be entitled to compensation. Contact us today. The Gulfport Ozempic Stomach Paralysis Attorneys with Morris Bart are available for free legal consultations to discuss your case and help you understand what legal options may be available to.
What is Ozempic?
Ozempic, aka semaglutide, is a weekly injection that has been proven to help to lower blood sugar levels in the body by increasing the volume of insulin that the pancreas releases. The drug hasn’t itself been approved for weight loss, however, as weight loss is a common side effect, some physicians have prescribed it for this reason.
Now, other drugs that work in a similar fashion to Ozempic, such as Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Saxenda, and Wegovy, are being investigated for links to similar unintended negative health consequences.

What are the Stomach Paralysis Symptoms?
Gastroparesis, or stomach paralysis, is the condition in which it takes too long for the contents of the stomach to pass. This is problematic, as the contents of the stomach can begin to solidify and might not pass at all. Gastroparesis manifests differently in different individuals, however, the most common symptoms include:
- Indigestion
- Stomach bloat
- Reduced appetite
- Loss of appetite
- Upper abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Acid reflux
- Blood sugar fluctuation
If you’ve used Ozempic and have experienced any of the above symptoms, you should consult with your physician. You may also be entitled to compensation, and an Ozempic Stomach Paralysis lawyer can help you explore what legal options are available to you.
I Have Used Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, or Saxenda, but I Feel Fine. Could I Be Affected?
While feeling perfectly healthy is a good sign, there is no guarantee that you will continue to be. Continue to monitor your health and be on the lookout for any of the negative conditions commonly associated with Gastroparesis. If you are concerned, be sure to speak with your doctor about your health and your concerns.
