During the last three months of 2022 alone, health care providers in the United States wrote over nine million prescriptions for Ozempic and similar drugs. The meteoric rise in popularity can be attributed to the fact that the drugs’ active ingredient, semaglutide, is a 'GLP-1 receptor agonist,’ and causes a side effect of weight loss for some patients. However, many patients are reporting having gastrointestinal issues after using Ozempic, resulting in possible liability for Novo Nordisk, the makers of Ozempic.

How does Ozempic increase risks of gallbladder and gastrointestinal issues?
Ozempic contains an active ingredient known as semaglutide, which stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin. While this causes a desired result of managing diabetes and possibly weight loss, it also may push a patient over the edge into experiencing undesired conditions like pancreatitis, gallbladder issues or “stomach paralysis.”
Patients are taking action against Novo Nordisk
Those who consistently took Ozempic for a sustained period of time, are believed to be at an increased risk for many kinds of gallbladder and gastrointestinal issues, including:
- Gastroparesis (paralysis of the stomach)
- Pancreatitis
- Ileus
- Stomach paralysis
- Bowel obstruction
- Blocked intestine
- Pulmonary aspiration during surgery
