As the use of Ozempic for weight loss has become popular, some users are experiencing negative side effects such as stomach paralysis. Ozempic isn’t the only drug of its kind causing these issues. Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Saxenda, and Wegovy may be causing similar effects.
Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, denies claims that the drug is responsible. Yet 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.”
If you or someone you love has been a user of Ozempic and has developed stomach paralysis or any other serious stomach condition, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Contact us today, Birmingham Ozempic Stomach Paralysis Attorneys at Morris Bart are ready to discuss your case and help you understand what legal options may be available to you with a completely free case consultation.
What is Ozempic?
A weekly injection that can help to lower blood sugar by causing the pancreas to provide a higher volume of insulin. Also known as semaglutide, Ozempic is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It’s important to note that it hasn’t been approved for weight loss, though some physicians prescribe it to help their patients lose weight.
Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Saxenda, and Wegovy (drugs similar to Ozempic) are also being investigated for links to similar health hazards.

What are the Symptoms of Stomach Paralysis?
The most common symptoms are:
- Indigestion
- Stomach bloat
- Reduced appetite
- Loss of appetite
- Upper abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Acid reflux
- Blood sugar fluctuation
Stomach Paralysis is also known as gastroparesis. It occurs when the stomach takes too long to empty its contents, which can lead to a variety of problems, including the contents of the stomach solidifying and being unable to pass at all.
Contact your doctor if you are experiencing any of the above symptoms and have taken Ozempic. If you have any questions about your legal rights, be sure to contact a lawyer who provides free consultations to discuss what options may be available to you.
I Used Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, or Saxenda but Haven’t Suffered Stomach Paralysis. Should I be worried?
Not experiencing symptoms of gastroparesis is no guarantee you are free from any adverse health effects. Speak with your doctor about any health concerns you may have. Moving forward, if you experience any symptoms, look to your health care provider for advice.
