Ozempic and Other GLP-1 Drugs in the Litigation While Ozempic remains the most prominent name in the lawsuits, other GLP-1 drugs face similar legal action: Wegovy (semaglutide) Same active ingredient as Ozempic, marketed specifically for chronic weight management Rybelsus (oral semaglutide) Pill form of semaglutide Mounjaro (tirzepatide) Newer GLP-1 drug with similar mechanism Trulicity (dulaglutide) Another injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist Patients prescribed any of these medications for either diabetes treatment or weight loss may qualify to file an Ozempic lawsuit if they developed gastroparesis, intestinal blockage, vision loss, or other serious adverse effects

The potential mechanisms include activation of the sympathetic nervous system, effects on blood vessels, and direct cardiac effects
