Known risk
The FDA added gallbladder disease and cholelithiasis to the warnings section of Ozempic and Wegovy labels years ago. Plaintiffs allege the manufacturers still failed to adequately quantify and communicate the risk to consumers.
Symptoms of gallbladder problems
Right-sided upper abdominal pain (especially after fatty meals), nausea, vomiting, fever, and jaundice. Acute cholecystitis is a medical emergency that often requires surgery.
Qualifying for a claim
You may qualify if you developed symptomatic gallstones, cholecystitis, or required cholecystectomy during or after GLP-1 use, with no prior gallbladder disease history.
