Ozempic (semaglutide) is a common prescription injectable medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and in some cases for weight loss. If you’ve experienced significant health issues after using Ozempic or semaglutide, you may be eligible to file an Ozempic lawsuit and recover substantial compensation.
Ongoing lawsuits against drug manufacturers Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly have brought attention to the health risks of Ozempic, including gastroparesis. This serious condition is characterized by delayed stomach emptying and can lead to severe vomiting, inadequate nutrition, and even stomach blockage.
At Rueb Stoller Daniel, our experienced mass tort attorneys are here to help clients file an Ozempic lawsuit and fight for maximum compensation. Our law firm only accepts cases involving gastroparesis.

Why Are People Filing Ozempic Lawsuits?
Ozempic is a popular medication prescribed to manage Type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, assist with weight loss. However, serious side effects of Ozempic, including gastroparesis (a condition that slows or stops stomach emptying), have been reported. Many patients claim they were not adequately warned about these risks.
Drug manufacturers Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly are facing numerous lawsuits related to Ozempic.
- Severe Side Effects: Patients have experienced debilitating symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain, consistent with gastroparesis.
- Lack of Warning: Plaintiffs say that Ozempic’s manufacturer did not provide adequate warnings about the potential risks of gastroparesis and other complications.
- Medical Costs and Losses: Due to the side effects of Ozempic, victims may face substantial medical expenses, lost income, and diminished quality of life.
By filing an Ozempic lawsuit, you can seek compensation for the harm you’ve endured.
Who Can File an Ozempic Lawsuit?
If you used Ozempic before March 2022 and experienced gastroparesis confirmed by a gastric emptying study, you might be eligible to file a lawsuit. Rueb Stoller Daniel is accepting cases that meet specific criteria.
You may qualify if you meet the following conditions:
- Confirmed Use of Semaglutide or Ozempic: You must have been prescribed and used Ozempic or another semaglutide-based medication. Pharmacy or medical records may be required as evidence.
- Diagnosis of Gastroparesis: You must have a confirmed medical diagnosis of gastroparesis, also known as delayed gastric emptying.
- Diagnosis Supported by a Gastric Emptying Study: Your diagnosis must be confirmed with a gastric emptying study. This test measures how quickly food empties from your stomach.
- Experienced Symptoms of Gastroparesis: Gastroparesis can cause prolonged nausea, vomiting, bloating, and stomach pain.
- Evidence of Injury or Harm: This includes documentation of medical expenses, time missed from work, emotional suffering, or other consequences of using Ozempic.
If you meet these criteria, contact Rueb Stoller Daniel for a free consultation. Our experienced Ozempic lawyers will evaluate your case and help you move forward.
