Ozempic Vision Loss Lawsuit
Individuals who have used Ozempic for long periods of time may risk serious health problems, including vision loss (NAION) and other gastrointestinal conditions. Plaintiffs in Ozempic lawsuits allege that drugmaker Novo Nordisk failed to warn them about the potential risks of taking the medication. Ozempic can cause severe vision loss (NAION), bowel injury, necrotizing pancreatitis, pulmonary embolisms, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and even death. The first Ozempic lawsuits were filed in August 2023, and lawsuits are still being filed today.
Our lawyers are actively investigating Ozempic lawsuits for patients who have suffered with these conditions. Please give us a call at Trost Law Group and see if we can help you.

Do I Qualify for a GLP-1 Vision Injury/Loss Lawsuit?
Have you experienced:
- Vision Changes (sudden or severe after taking GLP-1RA medication, must have received a diagnosis).
- Sudden blindness
- Optic nerve stroke
- Retinal stroke
- Visual acuity loss
- Reduced sharpness or clarity in vision leading to difficulty seeing detailed objects or distances clearly.
- Color blindness
- Ischemia to optic nerve
- Wet macular degeneration
NAION is a condition that leads to sudden and painless loss of vision usually in one eye, often upon waking, due to reduced blood flow to the optic nerve. It is a significant cause of vision impairment.
NAION’s Association with Ozempic:
- Studies have indicated that patients prescribed GLP-1 medications
including Ozempic had a 3.24-fold higher likelihood of developing
NAION compared to those not using these medications. - The risk of NAION appears to be more pronounced within the first year
of starting semaglutide treatment, suggesting a potential temporal
relationship between the medication and the onset of NAION
