For those unfamiliar, Wegovy is the commercial name for semaglutide, a medication green-lighted by the FDA, primarily for addressing obesity. This injectable drug operates by simulating a hormone which communicates with brain regions to regulate hunger. It’s categorized under the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, a class also utilized in diabetes management.

Recently, there’s been substantial talk about the weight reduction benefits of semaglutide. While originally developed for diabetic patients, medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Trulicity, Mounjaro, and Saxenda have evolved into sought-after weight loss solutions. Notably, not all users are clinically obese; some are merely aspiring for further weight reduction. Unfortunately, as with numerous medications, adverse effects have manifested. There’s a rising tide of lawsuits linked to Wegovy spanning across the nation, including Florida.

CHOOSING BETWEEN A CLASS ACTION AND AN INDIVIDUAL LAWSUIT?

While a class action might appear tempting, should your adverse reactions be grave, filing an individual lawsuit in Florida often holds more merit. This could facilitate a swifter resolution and potentially yield a more significant compensation.

COMMON ADVERSE EFFECTS OF WEGOVY: WHAT FLORIDIANS SHOULD KNOW

If you’re on Wegovy and face recurrent digestive ailments such as nausea, vomiting, or stomach distress, it’s imperative to consult a healthcare professional. The FDA has received reports of serious health implications. Here are some critical potential side effects:

  • Gastroparesis: The inability of the stomach to effectively empty its content.
  • Pancreatitis: A severe, albeit rare, inflammation of the pancreas.
  • Gallbladder Issues: Potential heightened risk of gallstones or inflammation.
  • Kidney Concerns: Semaglutide might detrimentally impact kidney health in certain cases.
  • Hypoglycemia: Especially for diabetics on insulin, Wegovy might induce perilously low blood sugar levels.
  • Allergic Reactions: Severe allergic manifestations to semaglutide have been noted.
  • Thyroid Concerns: GLP-1 receptor agonists, including Wegovy, have connections to potential thyroid tumors.
  • Diabetic Retinopathy: Wegovy might exacerbate pre-existing diabetic eye conditions.
  • Eye Complications: Changes in vision or potential eye conditions, especially among prior diabetic retinopathy patients.

The FDA has enumerated a series of frequently reported side effects related to this drug.
