Many Americans have started using Ozempic. It’s long been thought to be safe for people with type 2 diabetes and more recently used to help people lose weight. However, research has linked Ozempic to serious gastrointestinal injuries. If you have developed any gastrointestinal injuries, our attorneys can help you file an Ozempic lawsuit in Wisconsin, Iowa or Illinois.
Below, find answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive, including what compensation you may be able to recover in an Ozempic lawsuit.
What is Ozempic?
Ozempic, containing semaglutide, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating type 2 diabetes. It works by helping the pancreas produce more insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels. Additionally, it is used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. A widely known side effect of the injections is its potential to aid in weight loss.
How Does Ozempic work?
Ozempic works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1 which is involved in regulating blood sugar and insulin production. It functions by stimulating insulin release, reduces glucose production, slows digestion and promotes satiety.
Can I File an Ozempic Lawsuit?
You may be able to file an Ozempic lawsuit if you used Ozempic. As with any lawsuit, you will need evidence to support your claim. Evidence may include, but is not limited to:
- Doctor’s notes
- Your personal notes and testimony
- Health records
What Can I Recover in an Ozempic Case?
Your compensation will depend on your unique expenses and costs. Your damages may include compensation for past and future:
- Medical costs, including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy
