"Nashville Law Firm Leads Class Action Against Ozempic Makers Over Side-Effects"

Patients have filed at least 20 lawsuits against manufacturers Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, alleging severe and life-threatening side effects from weight-loss injectables Ozempic and Mounjaro, including stomach paralysis, gallbladder issues, and bowel injuries. Medical professionals note that while these drugs can cause delayed stomach emptying and potential serious conditions, such as gastroparesis and ileus, these side effects are rare and may be exacerbated by underlying medical conditions. The FDA has added warnings to Ozempic's label, but the manufacturers maintain that their drug labels warn about severe gastrointestinal events and aren’t recommended for patients with certain risk factors.
