Ozempic, Mounjaro Linked to Lawsuits Alleging Side Effects
Some people taking the diabetes and weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro are experiencing serious stomach problems.
They are suing the drug companies, saying the drugs caused them to throw up a lot and made their stomachs stop working properly.
This is called gastroparesis, where the stomach can't empty food as it should.
Doctors say there might be a link between these drugs and this problem.
The companies say they care about patient safety and are watching for any bad effects.
Lawsuits are emerging against Ozempic and Mounjaro due to alleged side effects.
Plaintiffs claim the drugs can cause severe vomiting and gastroparesis.
Gastroparesis, or stomach paralysis, slows food emptying from the stomach.
Experts note a possible link between GLP-1 receptor agonists and delayed gastric emptying.
Drug manufacturers emphasize patient safety and monitoring of side effects.
