Ozempic Lawsuit 2026: Gastroparesis & GLP-1 Drug Injury Claims

The FDA has required updated GLP-1 drug labeling addressing gastrointestinal risks.

What Is Gastroparesis?
Gastroparesis is a chronic digestive disorder where the stomach cannot empty properly, causing severe nausea, vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain, and malnutrition. GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic slow gastric emptying as their intended mechanism of action — but in some patients this becomes severe, permanent gastroparesis even after stopping Ozempic. Plaintiffs in Ozempic lawsuits allege the companies knew about this risk and failed to disclose it adequately.

- You used Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Rybelsus, Victoza, or another GLP-1 drug
