Ozempic and GLP-1 Injuries: Understand Your Rights

This page provides general information and a high-level overview for individuals seeking legal guidance. It is not medical or legal advice.

GLP 1 medications are prescribed to help manage blood sugar and, in some cases, weight. While many patients use these medicines without serious issues, individuals have reported serious side effects and are now seeking answers about whether those injuries may be connected to these drugs, and what legal options may be available.

Montlick is investigating GLP-1 drug injury claims and providing free, confidential consultations to review your individual circumstances.

GLP‑1 receptor agonists are a class of prescription medicines used to help regulate blood‑sugar levels and may be prescribed for type 2 diabetes or weight management. Common GLP‑1 medicines include Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Trulicity, and similar prescription drugs approved for specific indications.​

If you are facing unexpected health problems after taking a GLP-1 drug, Montlick is here to answer your questions about whether a legal claim is available to you.
 

What are GLP‑1 Drugs?

GLP-1 drugs work by mimicking a hormone involved in blood-sugar regulation and may affect appetite and digestion. Because they act on the digestive system, some people may experience gastrointestinal side effects and should promptly report new or severe symptoms to their healthcare provider.

Examples of Injuries Alleged in Some GLP-1 Drug Claims

In some reports and legal claims, individuals who used GLP-1 medications have described experiencing serious health complications. These examples reflect injuries that have been reported or alleged in connection with GLP-1 drug use and are provided for general informational purposes only. These descriptions do not establish that GLP-1 medications cause these conditions.

Reported complications described in some GLP-1 drug claims have included:

  • Severe or persistent gastrointestinal symptoms, such as ongoing nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
  • Delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis), which has been described by some individuals as involving bloating, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty tolerating food
  • Intestinal complications, including reduced bowel activity (ileus), which may involve abdominal discomfort, cramping, or vomiting
  • Gallbladder-related conditions, such as gallstones or gallbladder inflammation
  • Blood-clot-related conditions, including deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, described in some reports and legal filings
  • Vision-related problems, including reports involving non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) discussed in connection with semaglutide in certain contexts

Not everyone who takes a GLP-1 medication experiences these issues, and the relationship between GLP-1 drugs and reported complications continues to be evaluated in legal proceedings. Individuals experiencing new or worsening symptoms should seek medical care promptly and should not stop or change a prescribed medication without consulting a healthcare provider.

Legal Claims Involving Ozempic and Other GLP‑1 Drugs

When a medication is alleged to have caused serious harm, injured patients may be able to pursue product liability claims against drug manufacturers or other responsible parties. Some large drug cases later proceed as class actions or other coordinated litigation; however, GLP-1 drug injury claims are not currently a certified class action.

Whether a claim is appropriate depends on the specific facts, including your medical history, prescription records, warnings provided, and how your injury occurred.​ If a GLP‑1 drug is found to have contributed to a serious injury, an injured person may be able to seek compensation allowed by law. Depending on the case, this can include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other related losses. Montlick’s goal is to hold negligent drug companies and other responsible parties accountable when their conduct contributes to preventable injuries, and to pursue justice for clients within the bounds of the law.​

There are strict time limits – often called statutes of limitation and other deadlines – that can affect how long you have to bring a claim. Because these deadlines can vary by state and by the type of claim, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as reasonably possible to learn how they may apply to your situation.​

Your Questions Answered

GLP-1 Drug Injury FAQs

What should I do if I experience serious side effects after taking Ozempic or another GLP-1 drug?

If you experience serious or unexpected side effects, seek medical care right away and follow your healthcare provider’s guidance. After your condition has been evaluated, you may also wish to speak with an attorney to discuss your situation and ask whether your diagnosed condition could be related to a GLP‑1 medication and what legal options may be available.

Do I have a claim if my doctor prescribed the medication?

Whether you may have a claim depends on many factors, including your medical history, how the medication was prescribed and monitored, and what warnings were provided. An attorney can review your situation and explain what types of claims may be available in drug‑injury cases.

Is there a class action or multidistrict litigation involving GLP‑1 drugs?

There are ongoing legal proceedings and consolidated cases involving certain GLP‑1 medications, and the landscape continues to develop. During a consultation, a Montlick attorney can discuss how any existing proceedings may relate to your circumstances.​
