A woman who will suffer diarrhea for the rest of her life after using Ozempic is among dozens of patients who are suing the maker of the blockbuster weight loss drug over claims it left them with crippling stomach paralysis, a DailyMail.com investigation reveals.
Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, is facing lawsuits from patients across America who say they experienced extreme side effects which they were allegedly not warned about.
Thousands more patients have also come forward to claim they suffered adverse reactions to the drugs and attorneys say many more could join the growing legal campaign.
Most of the patients claim they suffered from gastroparesis, which is the medical name for paralysis of the stomach. The condition, which can be life-threatening, causes a build-up of food in the gut and symptoms include nausea, vomiting and severe pain.
DailyMail.com reviewed more than a dozen lawsuits filed since November by patients who were diagnosed with gastroparesis after using Ozempic and Wegovy, including some who suffered 'life-threatening' bowel injuries and face lifelong consequences.

The name looks like Olympic with a typo.
“paralysis of the stomach”
Wow, never knew there was such a thing. I can imagine the problems that would cause. These folks needed paralysis of the fork muscles.
Yep. Thats pretty much what my last 4 weeks after stopping taking it. It takes “a while” for everything to get back to normal.
Never had stomach cramps like that in my life.
Never vomited like that in my life.
Hell of a price to pay to lose a few pounds.
They will be thin but sick forever. Another thing Ozempic does is when someone loses weight using this drug, 50% of the weight loss will be muscle. Muscle burns calories so when the person stops taking the drug, which is very expensive, they will be left with a lot less muscle to burn calories with but the fat will come back making it even harder to lose the weight the normal way.

Just eat right, exercise and reduce stress. It’s the oldest formula and it works.
men over 60 are also at risk for lymphoma,
just like with Jardiance — and yet NOTHING
is given as a warning.
The FDA obviously got/gets payoffs to cover this up.
I wonder if Pfizer will ever get this treatment?
“Smeghan” Markle will be hurt’n for sure. She looks like h@&l lately
Got a coworker who was on this stuff. He didn’t have any reactions, but he quit it after losing a good amount of weight. But he’s been packing it back on and is back where he was before. Just a whole lot of money wasted.
Self-inflicted. Dumbasses.
The little pill will never have that story to tell...
But if it makes it possible for her to wear that new swimsuit this summer isn’t it worth it?
Did it give anyone myocarditis, heart attacks, or cancer? If so, the manufacturer should have to pay and the corporate leadership sent to jail.
