Wegovy Lawsuits and Media Attention Increase

Wegovy is a concentrated form of semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor drug approved by the FDA to manage type 2 diabetes and weight loss. Wegovy is similar to Ozempic and manufactured by the same drug company, Novo Nordisk. As we’ve reported recently, patients who suffered from gastroparesis and blindness after taking Ozempic are filing cases against the drug’s manufacturer. These cases have been consolidated into a multidistrict litigation. Here are the latest updates about the Wegovy lawsuit:

Wegovy Lawsuit Cases Continue to Increase

There are 1,300 active lawsuits against Wegovy manufacturers included in the MDL as of December 2nd. Earlier this year, MDL cases increased by 20% as more studies were released that connect semaglutide with gastroparesis diagnosis. News coverage sharing stories from plaintiffs has also increased the MDL’s visibility and has prompted more to enter their cases into the MDL.

Using Semaglutide Increases Risk of Gastroparesis

Media coverage of the adverse effects of taking Wegovy and Ozempic is increasing. This Time Magazine article shares the details of several patients who took semaglutide and were later diagnosed with serious gastrointestinal issues. Symptoms the patients experienced include:

  • Excessive vomiting
  • Deteriorating muscles
  • Oral issues related to vomiting and excessive stomach acid
  • Gastroparesis

The article cites studies that claim more than 50% of patients taking semaglutide drugs suffer from nausea and vomiting. These studies also link semaglutide use with gastroparesis, stomach inflammation, blood clots, eye stroke, and blindness.

Plaintiffs Move to Include Marketing Campaigns in Discovery

Wegovy and Ozempic drug manufacturers have invested millions into marketing campaigns since the drug was approved by the FDA in 2021. This expanded the popularity of the drug being prescribed. Online influencers were also used to help promote the drug on social media. Plaintiffs in the Wegovy lawsuit MDL claim that the drug’s marketing campaigns significantly influenced their decision to use Wegovy. Plaintiffs’ legal teams have requested that Judge Karen Spencer Marston allow marketing campaigns into early discovery to be included with the case. Continue following us for future updates.
