What Is the Ozempic Lawsuit About?
Ozempic (semaglutide) was originally approved for type 2 diabetes management and later became widely prescribed for weight loss. Its popularity skyrocketed—but so did reports of devastating side effects.
Plaintiffs across the U.S. allege that Novo Nordisk (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus) and Eli Lilly (Mounjaro) failed to adequately warn patients of these risks. Lawsuits claim the companies prioritized profits over patient safety.
Reported Injuries from Ozempic and Related Drugs
Thousands of patients have reported serious and sometimes permanent conditions, including:
-
Gastroparesis (Stomach Paralysis): Severe nausea, vomiting, and an inability to digest food properly.
-
Ileus & Intestinal Blockages: Bowel obstructions requiring hospitalization.
-
Gallbladder Disease & Gallstones: Emergency surgeries and long-term digestive issues.
-
NAION (Vision Loss): A type of optic nerve damage causing sudden, sometimes permanent blindness.
-
Blood Clots & Cardiovascular Risks: Increased stroke and heart-related complications.
Studies published in JAMA Internal Medicine have flagged elevated risks of gallbladder disease, and the FDA has updated warning labels to reflect gastrointestinal complications.

Legal Support From a Talented Ozempic Lawsuit Lawyer in Houston, TX
If you believe you have grounds for an Ozempic lawsuit, you need to discuss your case with a skilled attorney. Product manufacturers, including those of medications, have a responsibility to consider the welfare of their consumers. It can be frustrating to suffer an illness or developmental condition because of the carelessness of a manufacturer. An attorney can help you determine your next steps.
While any medication can have risks, a manufacturer must warn consumers of those risks. Failure to warn could make the manufacturer legally liable for directly related injuries and conditions. If you have a valid claim, your attorney can help you recover the costs associated with your illness or other conditions.
At The Spencer Law Firm, our personal injury lawyers have an in-depth understanding of these types of cases. Our team knows how to manage these lawsuits effectively and can identify the right route for you to recover compensation. If you developed an illness because of a company’s negligence, you deserve to be financially compensated.
Health Risks Associated With Ozempic
Complaints to the FDA and studies have shown a potential increased risk of gallbladder diseases, intestinal obstruction, bile duct diseases, and other health concerns. Related side effects from using Ozempic could include:
-
Nausea
-
Vomiting
-
Constipation
-
Diarrhea
-
Suicidal thoughts
-
Gallbladder inflammation
-
Gallstones
-
Gastroparesis or stomach paralysis
-
Pancreas inflammation or pancreatitis
-
Vision changes
-
Vision loss and blindness, or non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)
-
Intestinal obstruction and blockage
-
DVT, leading to PE
-
Biliary diseases
-
Acute kidney injury
-
Liver or kidney failure
-
Hypoglycemia
-
Thyroid cancer
-
Pancreatic cancer
The risks of these conditions and side effects could potentially increase when a patient takes the drug for longer and injects a higher dose. Some of these side effects also continue even when an individual has discontinued drug use.
Settlements and Potential Damages in an Ozempic Claim
The size of a settlement for an Ozempic lawsuit can vary and mostly relies on the value and significance of your damages. The more serious your condition is, the more likely it involves higher medical costs and long-term medical complications. It may also be more likely to affect your ability to do your job and negatively impact your career.
The compensation you receive should cover the costs of these damages. Because of this, there is no set value for any Ozempic lawsuit settlement. The damages you recover are usually only compensatory damages, including both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are tangible costs with a monetary value. These include:
-
Medical bills and healthcare costs, both existing and anticipated
-
Long-term at-home care
-
Lost wages from missing work
-
Lost earning capacity from being unable to return to work
Non-economic damages are intangible losses, which have no set value but are given one in this case. These include:
-
Pain and suffering
-
Emotional trauma
-
Loss of quality or enjoyment of life
-
Loss of consortium or companionship
In addition to compensatory damages, a claim filed in court could also recover punitive damages. Punitive damages are awarded by the court when the actions of the at-fault party are severe, such as egregiously negligent. The exact requirements for punitive damages vary from state to state. In Texas, punitive damages are included in exemplary damages and are awarded in cases of fraud, malice, or gross negligence. These damages are assigned to punish the defendant for their behavior.
Your attorney is helpful in calculating the full amount of your damages and securing the compensation that covers those damages. Calculating the costs of future bills and assigning a monetary value to pain and suffering can be challenging, but an attorney has experience in this field. They can help gather the documentation needed to prove your expenses and secure a fair settlement.
Time Limits to File an Ozempic Lawsuit
Each state has its own statute of limitations for filing product liability and personal injury lawsuits. A statute of limitations is a set period of time that an injured party has to file for damages. In Texas, this time limit is two years from the date of the injury.
Many claims may start with negotiations before they are filed in court. The other party will often negotiate during this time to avoid an expensive lawsuit. You will not want to let the statute of limitations pass by, however, as the other party will no longer have a reason to fairly negotiate and settle if you do so.
It is important that your claim is filed within that time period, or you will be unable to recover compensation. There may be some exceptions to the statute of limitations, and an attorney can determine if you meet them.
