Ozempic, which contains semaglutide, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for managing type 2 diabetes. It helps regulate blood sugar by boosting insulin production from the pancreas. The drug is also used to lower the chance of cardiovascular issues in diabetic patients. One notable and well-known effect of Ozempic is its ability to aid in weight loss when administered as a weekly injection.
Individuals are filing lawsuits against Ozempic, claiming that the drug, semaglutide, may cause severe gastrointestinal issues such as gastroparesis, ileus and intestinal blockages.
