How Ozempic Works
Ozempic is a once-weekly injectable prescription medication. It was initially developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Ozempic works by mimicking a natural hormone produced in the intestine which stimulates the release of insulin and helps diabetes patients manage blood sugar levels. Ozempic also slows digestion causing people to feel full. Accordingly, Ozempic is effective at causing people to lose weight. However, many people that take Ozempic have suffered serious injuries.
Injuries Caused by Ozempic
Ozempic has reportedly caused severe gastrointestinal disorders and other significant adverse reactions. The below listed injuries, among others, are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- Persistent Vomiting (causing hospitalization);

Who is Responsible?
The maker of Ozempic is Novo Nordisk. Novo Nordisk is a large pharmaceutical company from Denmark. Before Ozempic, Novo Nordisk was a company best known for its focus on developing diabetes products such as insulin. Since Ozempic was released by Novo Nordisk in 2017, the value of Novo Nordisk increased five times making Novo Nordisk the most valuable company in Europe.
Basis of Lawsuit
Ozempic had positive clinical results for mimicking the effects of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone and thus controlling blood sugar. When Novo Nordisk applied for approval for Ozempic from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the company claimed that it was safe and effective. In the FDA application, the company also stated that the most common side effect of Ozempic was nausea. However, the application did not sufficiently warn that Ozempic caused other side effects, some of which required hospitalization or surgery. Since Novo Nordisk is required to disclose all known risks of harm associated with the drug, Novo Nordisk may be liable to pay damages for people that suffered harm without knowledge of the risks associated with the drug. Accordingly, the Ozempic lawsuits generally allege, in part, that the maker of Ozempic failed to warn about the severity of the risks of Ozempic even though Novo Nordisk knew that the drug could cause substantial harm to end users.
