Gastroparesis is a medical condition where the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestines is delayed or halted. Often termed "delayed gastric emptying" by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, its origins can be various underlying health concerns. The American College of Gastroenterology states that diabetes is among the frequent causes of gastroparesis. Infections or specific drugs like narcotics and antidepressants can also lead to this condition.
The lawsuits against Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, and Saxenda and other GLP-1 Receptor medications were initiated by individuals who developed gastroparesis after taking the medication. This serious condition results in food progressing sluggishly from the stomach to the small intestine, and in certain instances, it can halt food movement entirely.
