A large and rapidly growing wave of lawsuits targets the class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists (often called GLP-1 drugs). These drugs—such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Trulicity and Mounjaro—are prescribed for type 2 diabetes and obesity/weight-management. The litigation (MDL No. 3094) has consolidated many of these claims in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

What the Lawsuits Allege
- Plaintiffs claim these drugs caused serious injuries such as gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying), non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION – a form of vision loss), and other gastrointestinal or eye disorders.
- Allegations include: failure to warn patients and physicians of risks, defective design or insufficient safety testing, misleading marketing, and negligent monitoring of adverse effects.
- The MDL court has required plaintiffs alleging gastroparesis to provide objective diagnostic testing as a threshold for proceeding.
Why This Matters
The number of claims is increasing quickly: as of November 2025, over 2,900 lawsuits were reported pending in the national GLP-1 litigation. These drugs are widely used—both by diabetes patients and increasingly for weight-loss—creating broader exposure for manufacturers. Additionally, the litigation may drive company settlements, label changes, increased regulatory scrutiny, and impact how emerging drugs are marketed and monitored.
Who May Have a Claim
Individuals who:
- Took a GLP-1 drug and subsequently developed gastroparesis, serious vision loss, or other qualifying injuries
- Have medical records linking the drug use with the onset of the injury
- Can demonstrate causation, i.e., that the manufacturer should have warned of the risk
