Fighting For Your Ozempic Lawsuit
Ozempic is a drug that was created for people with type 2 diabetes. The drug was intended to help lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin, like most diabetic drugs. However, Ozempic has been prescribed to patients without diabetes to help with weight loss. This has resulted in many reports of gastroparesis/stomach paralysis in specific individuals. Novo Nordisk, the creator of these weight-loss drugs, does not include warnings about the increased risk of gastroparesis.
A woman who began receiving Ozempic injections in the spring of 2022 says within two years; she began suffering from severe gastroparesis, which nothing has worked to relieve symptoms.
