Hundreds of Americans have jumped on a multi-state lawsuit alleging that the makers of Ozempic and Mounjaro caused them life-altering injuries.
The suit was filed against Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, the two pharma giants that have raked in billions thanks to the blockbuster weight-loss meds.
Ohio native and grandmother of seven Dana Filmore can no longer eat solid foods and has to blend her meals. Louisville’s Jacqueline Barber threw up so much she became dangerously malnourished.
Hundreds of Americans have jumped on a multi-state lawsuit alleging that the makers of Ozempic and Mounjaro caused them life-altering injuries.
The suit was filed against Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, the two pharma giants that have raked in billions thanks to the blockbuster weight-loss meds.
Ohio native and grandmother of seven Dana Filmore can no longer eat solid foods and has to blend her meals. Louisville’s Jacqueline Barber threw up so much she became dangerously malnourished.
Dana Filmore of Columbus, Ohio, now subsists on a diet of protein shakes and Jell-O. Her stomach paralysis tied to Ozempic prevents her from eating solid foods.
Dana Filmore, a 55-year-old diabetic, was uncomfortable with the prospect of having to stick herself with a needle every week when her doctor suggested she try Ozempic to manage her type 2 diabetes.
For about two years, the medicine did what it was approved to do – lower her blood sugar levels. But in the last six months that she was on it, the severe nausea kicked in. It gradually worsened, and she had to burn through her vacation time to recuperate.
It got to a point where she became scared to eat solid foods, because a few bites would send her to the bathroom.
She told USA Today: ‘The solids are really difficult on me. My body just rejects it.’
She was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis, or paralysis of the stomach.
Would you still consider using Ozempic despite knowing the risks?YesNo
It causes muscle contractions in the stomach to become too weak to digest food and pass it along to the intestines, causing food to stay in the stomach for longer than it should.
When the stomach does release the food, rather than doing so gradually in a steady manner, the stomach empties in larger, unprocessed bursts, causing chaotic diarrhea.
Mrs Filmore, who has had to excuse herself mere minutes after starting a meal, said: ‘You never know what will set it off.’
It has even disrupted her 35-minute commute to her job, where she manages a team of technicians at a mechanical company.
She said: ‘Halfway to work, I have to stop into a restaurant or to a gas station. My stomach doesn’t give me that long to really decide where I'm going to go.’
Her diet now consists mostly of protein shakes and Jell-O. It’s the only meal plan that keeps her from running to the bathroom.
In Louisville, Kentucky, Jacqueline Barber, another plaintiff in the case, has also been diagnosed with gastroparesis that threatened her life.
She was prescribed Ozempic for her type 2 diabetes in 2021, but spent every night for over a year sleeping on the couch next to a garbage can to manage her uncontrollable vomiting.
The 48-year-old said: ‘To lay on the couch and throw up nonstop, can't hardly make it to walk, go anywhere, it's very depressing.’
Alls she could keep down were peanuts, peanut butter crackers, and peanut butter cookies.
‘I ended up losing 140 pounds. I was down to around 87 pounds, couldn't walk or get around, couldn't get off the couch. Nobody knew what was going on. No one put the two together.’
