Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity, and Mounjaro Lawsuit Lawyers

What Are Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity and Mounjaro?

Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity, and Mounjaro are prescription drugs used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. All of these semaglutide medications are administered in the form of injections.

The FDA approved Ozempic, Trulicity, and Mounjaro to treat type 2 diabetes, and it approved Wegovy for weight management. However, since these drugs act in similar ways, semaglutide medications are sometimes used off-label to help people lose weight even if they don't have type 2 diabetes.

Novo Nordisk, a multinational pharmaceutical company, produces Ozempic and Wegovy. The active ingredient in these drugs is called semaglutide. Eli Lilly manufactures Trulicity, which contains dulaglutide.

In contrast, Mounjaro's active ingredient is tirzepatide. Eli Lilly manufactures both Mounjaro and Zepbound, another common tirzepatide drug.

These medications belong to a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They work by regulating blood sugar levels and promoting weight loss through appetite suppression.

While they have been praised for their effectiveness, GLP-1 receptor agonists come with serious health risks that were not fully disclosed by their manufacturers. Many people who used these medications have suffered from complications like pancreatitis, thyroid cancer, kidney problems, and severe gastrointestinal issues.

Dangerous Side Effects and Health Risks of Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity and Mounjaro

The serious side effects linked to these semaglutide and related medications have led many users to seek legal recourse. These drugs have been linked to the following conditions:

• Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
• Thyroid cancer: These drugs have been linked to an increased risk of thyroid tumors, including a rare form of cancer called medullary thyroid cancer.
• Kidney damage: Some users have reported kidney failure and other renal issues after using these medications.
• Gastrointestinal problems: Severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common side effects that have been linked to these drugs.
