Ozempic/GLP-1s
Prescribed and used Ozempic or another GLP-1 receptor agonist (e.g., Wegovy, Mounjaro, Trulicity, Rybelsus).
At least 6 months of exposure
Subsequent severe side effects including pancreatitis, stomach paralysis, blood clots, and vision loss
Carlos Mendoza, a 52-year-old restaurant manager from San Antonio, Texas, was prescribed Ozempic in May 2023 to help manage his type 2 diabetes and support weight loss. He followed his doctor’s instructions and remained on the medication for nearly a year.
By early 2024, Carlos began experiencing persistent nausea, bloating, and severe abdominal pain. In March 2024, he was hospitalized for what was later diagnosed as gastroparesis, a condition that severely impaired his stomach’s ability to empty food. He required a nasogastric tube for several days and was placed on a liquid diet for weeks following discharge.
Carlos has since undergone multiple follow-up procedures, including endoscopic evaluations and nutritional therapy. He missed over two months of work and continues to struggle with fatigue, dietary restrictions, and anxiety around eating. His doctors have linked the onset of gastroparesis to his prolonged use of Ozempic.
Carlos has not received any prior settlement and is currently unrepresented by legal counsel. He has maintained detailed medical records and has complied with all treatment recommendations. Given the clear timeline, hospitalization, and lasting impact on his health and livelihood, Carlos Mendoza is a strong candidate for a GLP-1 drug injury claim.
