INTRODUCTION TO THE MOUNJARO LAWSUIT
Two drugs, Mounjaro and Ozempic, are part of the same pharmaceutical group known as incretin mimetics or glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (along with Trulicity, Wegovy, and Saxenda). The difference between the two is that Mounjaro acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, whereas Ozempic only targets GLP-1 receptors. Despite this, both medications are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and for weight loss and are not listed as controlled substances.
As the use of Mounjaro, a widely prescribed medication, continues to rise, so do concerns about its potential side effects and so do the increasing number of Mounjaro lawsuits that have been filed. Many individuals who have taken Mounjaro have experienced severe Mounjaro side effects, leading to a surge in Mounjaro lawsuits. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has recently revealed that taking Ozempic, a drug for type-2 diabetes management commonly used for weight loss, carries a heightened risk of gallbladder disease, potentially leading to gallbladder removal or other health complications. The manufacturer of Ozempic failed to warn patients and doctors of the potential risk of developing Ozempic side effects such as gastroparesis, gallbladder disease, kidney damage or suffered Mounjaro and persistent vomiting. While a paralyzed stomach can result from various factors, it is a documented side effect of taking GLP-1 and similar drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro. Jaclyn Bjorklund of Louisiana filed a lawsuit claiming she suffered severe injuries due to her use of Ozempic and Mounjaro. She is suing Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, the makers of both drugs, for failing to warn of the risk of severe gastrointestinal events that could be caused by taking the medications. “As a result of using Defendants’ Ozempic and Mounjaro, Plaintiff was caused to suffer from severe gastrointestinal events, and as a result sustained severe and permanent personal injuries, pain, suffering, and emotional distress, and incurred medical expenses,” the lawsuit alleges. Lawsuits continued to be filed which have been centralized before one court by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. CNN recently reported that at least two people, one taking Ozempic and the other taking Wegovy, have experienced more than just minor stomach issues; these individuals have been diagnosed with gastroparesis, or "paralyzed stomachs". Both Wegovy and Ozempic contain the same active compound, but Wegovy contains a much higher dose of semaglutide. Mounjaro is in the same class of drugs as Wegovy and Ozempic. In addition, Dr. Andrew Boxer a gastroenterologist at Gastroenterology Associates of New Jersey, is among several gastroenterologists who said he is seeing an increased number of patients coming into his practice complaining of side effects from these types of drugs. In an article on Healthline, Dr. Boxer continued stating that "I was seeing a tremendous amount of people coming in just with nausea, vomiting, and feelings of fullness, early satiety, just not feeling well … Universally these patients were on GLP-1’s." If you or someone you know has suffered severe Mounjaro side effects, you may be eligible for an Mounjaro lawsuit and possibly be entitled to substantial compensation.

Mounjaro is an injectable prescription medicine that is used to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus along with diet and exercise. Common Mounjaro side effects include nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation, indigestion, and stomach (abdominal) pain. Additionally, Mounjaro presents the same serious weight loss drug side effects including gastroparesis, gallbladder disease, kidney damage, and persistent vomiting.
THE MOUNJARO SIDE EFFECTS
According to the company, the most common side effects of Mounjaro are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach (abdominal) pain, constipation and decreased appetite. Other more serious Mounjaro side effects include:
SERIOUS MOUNJARO SIDE EFFECTS leading to a mounjaro lawsuit
Some people who have taken Mounjaro have developed severe Mounjaro side effects, including, but not limited to, gastroparesis, gallbladder disease, kidney disease, and persistent vomiting. According to Dr. Meera Shah, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic, nausea is the most recurrent symptom she observes in her patients. The next most encountered are abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. According to Dr. Shah, the most severe complications she sees in patients are pancreatitis and gallbladder issues, both of which are serious conditions that can lead to hospitalization. Furthermore, Dr. Shay states that "at least 10% of patients who start these drugs have to be taken off of them because the side effects do not improve.".
Additionally, some doctors have reported patients on Ozempic appetites have become so suppressed, they have experienced malnutrition, and are taking multivitamins or protein supplements in addition to Ozempic as a result of not getting the proper amount of nutrients they need from food.

MOUNJARO AND GASTROPARESIS
Gastroparesis, otherwise known as stomach paralysis, is a condition where the stomach muscles cannot move as they should, making it hard for the stomach to empty its contents. This slower emptying can be beneficial for those taking Mounjaro, as it helps them to lose weight, but it can lead to a more severe impairment of gastric emptying in some cases. Symptoms of Gastroparesis caused by Mounjaro include nausea, vomiting, feeling full quickly after eating, abdominal bloating, and abdominal pain. If you took Mounjaro and developed gastroparesis, contact Mounjaro lawyer Timothy L. Miles today for a free case evaluation to see if you are eligible for a Mounjaro lawsuit and possibly entitled to significant compensation.
MOUNJARO AND GALLBLADDER DISEASE
Use of GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Mounjaro, is associated with an increased risk of gallbladder disease or bile duct disease. This could include cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) and cholelithiasis (gallstones). The precise cause of Mounjaro causing this is uncertain, but it is believed that the drug slows the emptying of the gallbladder. When the gallbladder does not empty regularly or completely, it can lead to a concentration of bile, raising the possibility of gallstones. The stones can then block the bile ducts, causing inflammation or infection in the gallbladder that might require removal. Those with gallbladder disease may experience severe pain in the upper right or middle of their abdomen. This pain could be regular or intermittent and is often accompanied by severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever.
THE LINK BETWEEN MOUNJARO AND KIDNEY DAMAGE
Another one of the serious side effects of Mounjaro is kidney damage or kidney failure. As noted herein, Mounjaro belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by increasing insulin production and reducing glucose production in the liver. While Mounjaro is generally well-tolerated, there have been reports of kidney-related side effects of Mounjaro in some individuals. It has been reported that kidney damage appears to happen in people experiencing Mounjaro side effects including severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea from Mounjaro. The belief is that the side effects of Mounjaro can result in dehydration, which can lead to kidney damage or worsen existing kidney problems.
These Mounjaro side effects can range from mild impairment of kidney function to severe kidney damage. It is important for patients taking Mounjaro to be aware of the potential risk and to closely monitor their kidney function through regular blood tests with their physician. Mounjaro side effects
Numerous reports and studies have suggested a strong association between Mounjaro and persistent vomiting. This side effect can be debilitating and significantly impact the quality of life for individuals taking Mounjaro. Persistent vomiting refers to continuous and uncontrollable bouts of vomiting that occur for an extended period, requiring trips to the emergency room. The exact mechanism by which Mounjaro triggers this reaction is still being studied, but it is believed to be related to the drug’s effect on the gastrointestinal system.
If you have experienced persistent vomiting while taking Mounjaro, contact Mounjaro lawyer Timothy L. Miles today to understand your legal options. If you suffered from Mounjaro and persistent vomiting and were hospitalized or had to go to the emergency room, you are probably eligible for a Mounjaro lawsuit and potentially entitled to significant compensation.
