If You Took Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Victoza, Saxenda) Defendant: Novo Nordisk Advantages in Your Case: Longer market history = more extensive adverse event data Ozempic: On market since 2017 Victoza: On market since 2010 More documented cases of gastroparesis Stronger pattern of underreporting Higher number of reported cases Semaglutide products have the most plaintiffs in MDL 3094 More shared experiences and medical literature Strength in numbers for settlement negotiations Clear timeline of manufacturer knowledge FDA adverse event reports available from 2017 onward Medical journal articles from 2019+ Evidence of when Novo Nordisk knew or should have known Off-label use concerns create additional claims Ozempic widely prescribed off-label for weight loss Marketing may have encouraged inappropriate use Inadequate warnings for weight-loss patients Potential Challenges: Novo Nordisk will argue warnings were adequate for the time period They may claim patients were informed of GI risks Defense will emphasize that nausea/vomiting were disclosed If You Took Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) Defendant: Eli Lilly Advantages in Your Case: Foreseeability argument By 2022, semaglutides gastroparesis risk was known Eli Lilly should have anticipated similar or worse effects Dual mechanism might amplify gastric slowing Higher expectations for warning Later approval means higher standard Should have learned from Novo Nordisks experience Less excuse for inadequate warnings Potentially stronger causation Dual agonist mechanism may show more direct link to injury Less time for alternative explanations Clearer temporal relationship if you developed symptoms quickly Growing case numbers More patients reporting issues as time passes Pattern emerging of serious complications Eli Lilly facing increasing scrutiny Potential Challenges: Newer drug means fewer total cases (so far) Less accumulated medical literature Defense may argue insufficient time to know about rare complications Dual mechanism creates more complex causation analysis If You Took Multiple GLP-1 Drugs This is common - many patients: Started on Ozempic, switched to Wegovy Tried Mounjaro after semaglutide didnt work or caused side effects Were prescribed different drugs as insurance coverage changed Legal Approach: Disclose all GLP-1 medications to your attorney Cases can still proceed with multiple drug exposure May pursue claims against both Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly Causation analysis will examine cumulative exposure Key Considerations: When did your symptoms begin relative to each drug
The MHRA-approved Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) for tirzepatide does not explicitly prohibit the concurrent use of corticosteroid injections with GLP-1 receptor agonists, and current NICE guidance does not specifically restrict this combination
I have a safe sharps disposal plan if injections are part of treatment
The logic behind three times weekly dosing relates to semaglutide half-life
Across telehealth GLP-1 programs, monthly spend as of April 2026 generally lands somewhere between roughly $200 and $700 or more, with meaningful variance
