A lawsuit alleges that a patient to developed gastroparesis with symptoms so severe she was brought to the emergency room multiple times and threw up so excessively that she lost teeth.
Personal injury law firm Morgan & Morgan has filed the lawsuit, a copy of which was provided to The Post, against Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly and Co. for “a failure to warn” of the side effect.
The suit claims that Bjorklund took the medications for a total of about a year and a half before stopping this summer. “Ms. Bjorklund put her trust in Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly and Company, and we believe that, as a result, she has gone through a hell that no one should have to endure,” Morgan & Morgan partner Paul Pennock told The Post.
Attorneys from Morgan & Morgan announced the lawsuit on Wednesday on behalf of a 44-year-old woman from Louisiana who has taken both drugs, Ozempic and then Mounjaro, as prescribed by her doctor. Morgan & Morgan told The Post that the firm has received 500 other similar inquiries from clients across 45 states, along with claims of injuries allegedly caused by other weight-loss drugs including Wegovy, Rybelsus and Saxenda.
