Do I Qualify for the Ozempic Lawsuit?
Last updated: April 9, 2026
Who Qualifies for the Ozempic / GLP-1 Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you meet the following general criteria:
Primary Requirements
-
You used a GLP-1 medication — Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Trulicity, Saxenda, or Victoza.
-
You suffered a serious injury — You were diagnosed with one or more of the following:
- Gastroparesis (stomach paralysis)
- Intestinal or bowel obstruction
- Pancreatitis
- Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)
- Severe kidney injury
- Hospitalization for persistent vomiting
-
The injury occurred during or after using the medication
Factors That Strengthen Your Case
- Hospitalization — You were admitted to a hospital or ER due to side effects
- Surgery — You required surgical intervention (bowel obstruction surgery, gallbladder removal)
- Ongoing condition — You continue to suffer from gastroparesis or other injuries after stopping the medication
- Prescription records — Documentation showing which drug was prescribed and for how long
- No prior history — You did not have the condition before starting the GLP-1 drug
Common Questions About Eligibility
I only used the drug for a short time — do I qualify? Possibly. Some patients develop gastroparesis or pancreatitis even after brief use. The key factor is whether you suffered a qualifying injury.
I used it for diabetes, not weight loss — does that matter? No. Eligibility is based on the drug used and the injury suffered, regardless of why it was prescribed.
I stopped using it and my symptoms went away — do I qualify? If you required medical treatment, hospitalization, or suffered significant harm during use, you may still have a claim even if symptoms eventually resolved.
My doctor said my nausea was a "normal side effect" — is that gastroparesis? Possibly. Many cases of drug-induced gastroparesis are initially dismissed as common nausea. If you experienced persistent vomiting, inability to eat, significant weight loss, or bloating lasting weeks or months, discuss this with an attorney.
