Dana Filmore is one of thousands of plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit claiming Ozempic, Mounjaro and other popular drugs harmed their health.

The lawsuit is in the discovery process and may go to trial in 2025 .

In response, Novo Nordisk , the Danish pharmaceutical company that makes the drug, maintains that the lawsuit is "without merit".

Ozempic and Mounjaro are part of a class of drugs known as GLP-1 agonists, which mimic the body's natural hormones to lower blood sugar and suppress appetite.

The FDA ’s most up to date warning label notes that clinical trials for the drug caused some participants to experience gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and diarrhea.

A Canadian study found that the rate of gastroparesis in patients using drugs like Ozmpic was around 1% .
