    Ozempic / Wegovy Stomach Paralysis Lawsuit

    GLP-1 Drugs Linked to Gastroparesis and Bowel Obstruction

    Read About This Case

    What Happened?

    Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and other GLP-1 receptor agonists were prescribed to tens of millions of Americans for diabetes and weight loss. GLP-1 drugs work by slowing gastric emptying. In some patients, gastric emptying is slowed to a pathological degree — resulting in gastroparesis (stomach paralysis). Studies published in 2023 found GLP-1 users had a 9-fold higher risk of gastroparesis. Novo Nordisk (Ozempic/Wegovy) and Eli Lilly (Mounjaro) knew from internal studies about gastroparesis risk but did not adequately warn of the severity.

    Who Qualifies?

    You took Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Victoza, Rybelsus, Trulicity, or another GLP-1 receptor agonist. You have been diagnosed with gastroparesis (confirmed by gastric emptying scan), bowel obstruction, or ileus. Your condition is severe — requiring hospitalization, feeding tube, or causing significant disability.

    Primary Diagnoses:

    Gastroparesis (Stomach Paralysis)Confirmed by gastric emptying study — the primary qualifying diagnosis.
    Bowel ObstructionIntestinal ileus requiring hospitalization or surgery.
    Severe GI ComplicationsConditions requiring hospitalization, feeding tubes, or TPN.

    Litigation Status

    MDL 3094 is in early stages in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. This is a fast-growing tort with a massive potential plaintiff pool. Bellwether selection is underway.

    Estimated Compensation

    Cases with documented gastroparesis requiring feeding tubes or recurrent hospitalization: $100,000-$500,000+. Permanent gastroparesis in younger patients has higher values.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    I took Ozempic for diabetes, not weight loss — do I qualify?
    Yes. Regardless of whether the drug was prescribed for diabetes or weight loss, if you developed gastroparesis, you may have a claim.
    What is a gastric emptying scan?
    A nuclear medicine test where you eat a meal containing a radioactive tracer and images track how quickly your stomach empties.
    I stopped the drug and my symptoms resolved — do I qualify?
    Cases are strongest when gastroparesis is persistent or chronic. If symptoms fully resolved after stopping, the case may be weaker but worth evaluating.
    Which drugs are included?
    All GLP-1 receptor agonists: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Victoza, Rybelsus, Trulicity, and others in the same class.
    Is nausea alone enough to qualify?
    Nausea alone is typically not sufficient. Attorneys are looking for diagnosed gastroparesis, bowel obstruction, or conditions requiring hospitalization.
    How long do I need to have taken the drug?
    There is no strict minimum, but most cases involve use for several weeks or months before gastroparesis developed.
    Can I still take Ozempic if I file a lawsuit?
    Filing a lawsuit does not affect your ability to continue taking a medication prescribed by your doctor.
    Who are the defendants?
    Novo Nordisk (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus), Eli Lilly (Mounjaro), and potentially other GLP-1 manufacturers.
