Ozempic Side Effects and Health Issues

Ozempic can cause side effects and health issues such as vision changes, low blood sugar, and kidney failure. If you’re considering using Ozempic to manage type 2 diabetes or reduce the risk of heart disease, it’s important that you speak with your healthcare provider about all the potential side effects.

However, some patients use Ozempic for weight loss. While Ozempic and other drugs can make patients lose weight, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved Ozempic for this purpose. If you were prescribed Ozempic for weight loss and experienced adverse health effects because of it, our mass torts lawyer can help you seek justice.

What Are the Common Side Effects and Health Issues Caused by Ozempic?

According to Ozempic, there are several side effects you may experience if you are taking the drug for its recommended purposes, such as treating type 2 diabetes and reducing the risk of cardiovascular issues. Some of these side effects include:

Pancreatitis
Vision changes
Low blood sugar, which can cause dizziness, blurred vision, weakness, irritability, anxiety, and headaches

Gallbladder issues, which may begin as stomach pain, fever, or jaundice
Severe nausea
Vomiting

Cancerous thyroid tumors, in severe cases

If you experience any of these common health side effects of Ozempic, you need to speak to your doctor right away. Your health comes first, and there may be other alternatives to Ozempic that work better for you.

What does Ozempic Do?

Ozempic is a semaglutide injection that is used in conjunction with diet and exercise to help patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular issues. The injectable prescription medication is meant to:

Improve blood sugar in adults
Reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease

Ozempic works by:

Allowing your pancreas to increase insulin production when you have high blood sugar
Stopping your liver from producing and releasing too much sugar
Making food leave your stomach more slowly

You should only use Ozempic for its FDA-approved uses. If you use Ozempic for weight loss, you may be more likely to suffer adverse effects.

Some Patients Are Filing Lawsuits Against Ozempic and Other Weight Loss Drug Companies

After suffering negative side effects from Ozempic, some patients are filing weight loss drug lawsuits. Other drug companies that have claims filed against them include Mounjaro, Wegovy, Rybelsus, and Saxenda.

If you took any of the above medications and suffered health issues because of them, you may qualify to join a lawsuit. Other qualifying factors include:

The dates that you started and ended the use of Ozempic
The types of side effects you experienced, such as gastrointestinal symptoms, severe pain, acute pancreatitis, or another illness
When your symptoms started

Our legal team can speak to healthcare professionals to prove that your injury or illness was caused by Ozempic. That way, you have a fair chance at seeking compensation.

Client Testimonials

These guys are amazing. Helped me throughout the process. Always there when I need help. Inititailly called a law firm (the one that has lots of ads on the radio), but they declined my case. Van Law Firm accepted my case without a second thought! Kudos to Daniel, my case manager, and Amanda who expedited my payment process. Highly recommended.

Milby Mags

Got in an accident at the beginning of the year and they have been awesome, especially with it being my first accident and me being like this. They have been very communicated, stayed in contact with me the whole time, giving me updates when there were any and even when there weren’t and answered any question I had. I would recommend them to anyone. Everyone I have talked to there has been very friendly. I would give them a 10 out of 10.

Ethan Gullet

They made sure that my insurance company covered what I paid for them to which included the gap for my car that was totaled. My medical costs were taken care of and reduced substantially so I was able to get more on my settlement. My case manager, Will Garcia, was always helpful in assisting me and answering any questions I had. They really did an amazing job with my case. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of this type of legal help. Most lawyers do not help you with the recovery of the car and rental etc. They are amazing.
