Who Qualifies for an Ozempic Lawsuit?

Individuals may file a lawsuit against Novo Nordisk – the company that manufactures Ozempic – if they meet specific eligibility requirements. Generally, you may have a chance to seek legal compensation if you took Ozempic and developed a severe health condition.

For example, some plaintiffs allege that Ozempic caused them to develop gallstones or other forms of gallbladder distress. Other plaintiffs argue that the medication caused them severe gastroparesis, leading to serious vomiting.

In order to qualify for funds, you must show that:

You Took Ozempic

Before qualifying for an Ozempic lawsuit, you must prove that you used the medication. Proof may include a prescription from your doctor or other medical records that indicate you used this drug.

You Experienced Health Issues After Using Ozempic

You must also show that you experienced adverse health effects while using Ozempic that can connect back to the medication. For example, you may have records of going to the emergency room for treatment of severe vomiting.

Ensure you keep any healthcare records related to your Ozempic usage if you’re considering a lawsuit.

You Suffered Financial Losses

Finally, you may only qualify for a lawsuit if Ozempic usage caused you direct financial hardship. If you recovered from a bout of vomiting at home without seeking professional care, you may not qualify for a lawsuit.

However, if you ended up hospitalized for the effects of gallstones, you may have a claim. An Ozempic lawsuit lawyer can review your situation to determine if you qualify for damages.
