Ozempic, generic name semaglutide, is a weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin for adults with type 2 diabetes. While the FDA has not approved Ozempic for weight loss, some physicians will prescribe this drug for this use.

Ozempic Potentially Linked To Gallbladder Issues
Ozempic has been the subject of media attention because of its use for weight loss. It is primarily prescribed to people with Type 2 Diabetes to control blood sugar levels without insulin. As of 2021, more than 10,000 adverse events directly associated with semaglutide use were reported to the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). These reports indicate that Ozempic is suspected to be the cause of gallbladder disease.
What Studies Show Against Ozempic and Related Products
Those serving as plaintiffs in Ozempic lawsuits have alleged that these drugs can cause a dangerous condition called gastroparesis. This chronic condition causes the nerves and muscles in the stomach wall to weaken severely which makes it more difficult for the stomach to transfer food to the small intestine. Other alleged Ozempic side effects include an association with an increased risk of gallbladder disease.
