Dangerous Weight Loss Drug Attorneys

Wegovy and Ozempic are injectable weight loss drugs that use semaglutide as the main active ingredient. Zepbound and Mounjaro are also injectable weight loss drugs, but they rely on tirzepatide as the main active ingredient instead. All four medications have been linked to various serious side effects that put patients at an unfair risk of injury or even death.

One of the most common and dangerous side effects of both semaglutide and tirzepatide is gastroparesis or stomach paralysis. When the gastrointestinal tract is paralyzed or weakened, it can disrupt nutritional absorption, leading to a variety of health concerns. Gastroparesis can also cause an intestinal blockage as undigested food is moved along the intestines; if untreated or in severe cases, an intestinal blockage may cause life-threatening or fatal complications.

Other unsafe side effects of popular weight loss drugs include:

• Frequent nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Fatigue
• Migraines
• Kidney problems
• Pancreatitis
• Gallbladder disease
• Vision problems

Why Drug Makers Should Be Held Liable

Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and other Big Pharma companies that produce, market, and sell weight loss drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound have an unshakable duty to give consumers and medical professionals fair warning of any side effects that their products may cause. In doing so, they allow doctors and patients to make informed decisions when deciding what medications to use for various treatments and weight loss plans.

Drug manufacturers are now facing a wave of lawsuits and litigation – including legal action taken by our very own dangerous drug attorneys from Bauer & Metro, P.C. – for failing to adequately warn consumers and medical professionals about the potential and dangerous side effects of their semaglutide- and tirzepatide-based weight loss drugs. In some cases and complaints, the drug manufacturers have even been accused of knowingly concealing information about the dangers of their weight loss drugs. As such, liability laws, including strict product liability laws, can allow people to file injury claims against those companies.

Compensation in South Carolina Dangerous Drug Cases

In a dangerous drug lawsuit, you might be able to seek compensation related to:

• Past and future medical treatment costs
• Past and future lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Costs associated with a new disability
• Shortened life expectancy
• Loss of consortium (if a loved one passed away)

The type of claim or lawsuit you pursue will influence the type and amount of compensation you can pursue, too. If you file an individual claim, we will pursue compensation based entirely on your unique damages and losses. If you join a class action lawsuit against Big Pharma, though, any settlement or award amount that is secured (which is not guaranteed) will be split somewhat evenly among the entire plaintiff class; this process does not closely consider the losses of an individual plaintiff, so the amount could be more or less than what you expect.
