Drug injury lawsuits that might be filed against the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk involving a stroke, pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis when using Wegovy, Rybelsus, or Ozempic are somewhat like the federal court Wegovy/Rybelsus/Ozempic MDL lawsuits involving gastrointestinal and stomach problems because they would involve similar — but different — liability issues, such as:
- Whether Novo Nordisk knew or should have known that its semaglutide-containing drugs Wegovy, Rybelsus, and Ozempic can cause ischemic strokes (which are strokes caused by blood clots), pulmonary embolism (PE), or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — as opposed to gastroparesis, gastric stasis, stomach paralysis, and other semaglutide-related stomach conditions;
- Whether Novo Nordisk adequately warned the patient or their prescribing doctor about the alleged increased risk of blood clots of Wegovy, Rybelsus, Ozempic that can lead to a stroke, PE, or DVT; and,
- Whether Novo Nordisk made false, misleading, or incomplete representations regarding the drug safety of Wegovy, Rybelsus, and Ozempic.
In more detail, drug injury lawsuits for people using Wegovy, Rybelsus, or Ozempic diagnosed with gastroparesis, gastric stasis, stomach paralysis, and other semaglutide-related stomach conditions are in this federal court MDL: IN RE: GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1 RECEPTOR AGONISTS (GLP-1 RAS) PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION, MDL No. 3094.
However, drug injury lawsuits involving a stroke, pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis when using Wegovy, Rybelsus, or Ozempic would not be part of federal court MDL No. 3094 as currently configured in the February 2024 Transfer Order because that federal court MDL does not include stroke, PE, and DVT cases.
