Ozempic Gastroparesis Injury Claims: Your Legal Options Explained
Ozempic, widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes and weight management, has been linked to serious side effects, including gastroparesis and other gastrointestinal issues. If you or a loved one has suffered from severe side effects potentially caused by Ozempic, you may be entitled to compensation. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin are equipped to help you understand your rights and pursue claims for these injuries.
Understanding the Potential Side Effects of Ozempic
Ozempic can cause a range of gastrointestinal problems, some of which may lead to severe health consequences:
- Gastroparesis (Stomach Paralysis): This condition can severely affect quality of life by impairing the stomach’s ability to empty, causing nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
- Extended Hospitalization for GI Issues: Some patients may experience symptoms severe enough to require prolonged hospital stays.
- Esophageal Injury Requiring Surgery: In rare cases, patients might suffer from severe esophageal damage necessitating surgical intervention.
- Ileus or Bowel Obstruction: This serious condition involves a halt in the normal movement of the bowels, requiring immediate medical attention.
- Sudden Vision Loss or NAION: There are reports of non-arthritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, a sudden form of vision loss linked to the drug.
- DVT and Related Injuries: Deep vein thrombosis and related complications, including potentially fatal outcomes, have been reported.
- Pulmonary Aspiration: Inhalation of stomach contents into the lungs can occur, leading to serious respiratory issues.
- Gallbladder Injury with Surgery: Patients who started taking the drug prior to 2022 have reported gallbladder injuries necessitating surgical intervention.
Legal Claims for Ozempic-Related Injuries
If you’ve experienced any of the above conditions after taking Ozempic, you might have grounds for various legal claims:
- Product Liability: If Ozempic is found to be unsafe or if adequate warnings were not provided about its risks.
- Medical Malpractice: If healthcare providers failed to adequately manage or warn about the side effects.
- Personal Injury: For compensation related to medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
