An Ozempic user will suffer from diarrhea for the rest of her life after sustaining a serious bowel injury — allegedly brought on by injections of the wildly popular weight loss drug.

The unidentified woman is one of a dozen people who have filed lawsuits against Novo Nordisk, parent company of Ozempic and sister drug Wegovy, since November, according to a report published Saturday by the Daily Mail.

Gastroparesis leaves patients with nausea, bloating, and severe abdominal pain, per the Mayo Clinic. It can also cause vomiting, weight loss and malnutrition.

According to the suit, the woman was diagnosed with a “life-threatening bowel injury” after using Ozempic, prompting surgeons to subsequently perform an eight-hour operation in the hopes of repairing her colon.

While she managed to survive the scary medical episode, she was said to have been told by doctors that she will be in pain “for the rest of her life’ and “will never have a solid bowel movement again.”

The woman is now accusing Novo Nordisk of “failing to properly warn about the risk of gastroparesis on the drugs’ packaging.”
