A woman is taking Novo Nordisk to court over what she claims were negative side effects she experienced after using Ozempic … alleging the company knew it could jack up your gut.
Caren Elosua just filed suit against the pharmaceutical giant, claiming weight loss meds like Ozempic and Wegovy have long been suspected of being capable of causing serious harm based on studies and trials … especially in a person’s stomach and gastrointestinal system.
In her docs, obtained by TMZ, Elosua says that even with this alleged history of side effects in mind … she was still prescribed Ozempic to combat her type-2 diabetes.
Elosua says she started taking a dose of 1ml of Ozempic injections weekly starting in April 2021, and goes on to say her dosage was increased by her doc to 2ml a couple years later.
However, toward the end of 2023 … Elosua claims she started to suffer from symptoms like headaches, vomiting, cramping and severe stomach pain — so she says she went to see a specialist … who she says did a stomach emptying test on her to see what was up.
As it turns out, she claims this gastroenterologist diagnosed her with gastroparesis — which means your stomach muscles get super weak and aren’t able to properly digest food — and she alleges that a second doctor confirmed this diagnosis.
She says her last Ozempic shot was around late January — but by then, she claims the damage had been done … alleging she had to be hospitalized due to the constant pain she was experiencing, which she claims has seriously torn up her abdominal area.
Elosua claims Novo Nordisk — the company behind Ozempic — knew this miracle drug could screw people up inside, but they cranked it out anyway and made a fortune … with her claiming it came at the health expense of her and possibly others.
Now, she’s seeking major damages. We reached out to Novo Nordisk … no word back yet.
