The risks of Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs: What you need to know

The pharmaceutical drug Ozempic is widely prescribed for weight loss but was initially developed to manage diabetes and improve blood sugar levels. While it has been effective for many patients, others have reported experiencing severe gastrointestinal complications after taking Ozempic and other similar drugs. As of July 2023, the FDA has received thousands of reports of severe side effects and injuries in relation to Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus and Saxenda. These complications may include gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying) or stomach paralysis, leading to severe discomfort, pain, and potential long-term health impacts.

Your Health is Our Priority: Understanding the Side Effects

Many of the most common side effects associated with Ozempic and other weight loss drugs are relatively mild, including:

Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain and discomfort
Bloating and indigestion
Diarrhea or constipation

However, clinicians have encountered more severe side effects in some patients, including:

Persistent vomiting for at least four weeks (while on drug or close in time to stopping drug)
Gastroparesis
Stomach paralysis (“frozen” stomach)
Bowel obstruction
Gallbladder removal
New onset of suicidal ideation or suicide attempt while on drug
Death

Concerningly, the companies that produce these drugs – Novo Nordisk in the case of Ozempic and Eli Lilly for Mounjaro – may not have appropriately warned consumers of the risks associated with their products.

I was involved in an automobile accident in Alabama and, being from Atlanta, I was referred to Farris, Riley & Pitt through a mutual acquaintance.First off, it is my sincere hope that no one reading will have to utilize their services but if you do, I cannot express how Kirby Farris and his team made an unpleasant situation an ordeal as pleasant as possible.My accident was not my fault yet the defendant and his insurance company wanted to play 'hard ball' which proved to be a mistake on their part. Farris Riley & Pitt did their homework and the other team became very aware their tactic was a losing one when their client's version of the truth was quickly exposed during deposition.I cannot recommend Farris Riley & Pitt enough and am so very, very thankful to have received the outcome I did thanks to their professionalism, mastery of the law and personal attention.
