A Memphis Mounjaro Lawyer on Your Side
As a Mounjaro attorney Memphis has trusted with their biggest cases for over 40 years, we believe Mounjaro and other popular weight loss drugs have caused serious injury — and Memphis should know about it.
Mounjaro Injury: What You Should Know
As one of the highest-marketed weight loss drugs on the planet, Mounjaro has brought its manufacturer Eli Lilly billions in revenue.
It’s a blockbuster drug that’s getting a lot of press, including all over social media.
Unfortunately, it’s also been connected to a disorder called gastroparesis, or stomach paralysis.
This condition causes severe digestive problems as the stomach stops breaking down food. Patients have reported vomiting whole, totally undigested food hours or even days after eating.
Symptoms of Stomach Paralysis After Taking Wegovy
One of the symptoms of stomach paralysis is weight loss. However, many people take Wegovy for exactly this purpose.
That means it’s critical you know the other possible warning signs.
Other symptoms of stomach paralysis include:
- Vomiting, especially of undigested (whole) food
- Nausea
- Bloating and/or abdominal pain
- Blood sugar changes
- Acid reflux
- Malnutrition
Depending on the situation, severe stomach blockage and stomach paralysis may be treated a few ways:
- A drastic change in diet overseen by medical professionals
- Medication
- Surgery
Sometimes it requires overlapping treatments. If left untreated, it can be fatal.
What to Do If You Have a Case
We believe Eli Lilly knew the risks of Mounjaro, or should have known. And they should have done more to explain those dangers to patients.
Among other things, they chose not to include a black box label to warn doctors and their patients of the heightened risk.
(Similarly, Novo Nordisk failed to warn patients about their comparable drugs Ozempic and Wegovy).
It’s critical we hold these companies accountable. And victims deserve compensation for their losses, including hospital bills, recovery costs, and lost wages.
If you:
- Are 75 years old or younger
- Took Mounjaro through a doctor’s prescription, and
- Needed hospitalization as a result
We would like to speak with you and help you get the compensation you need and deserve.
