Demanda Ozempic & Mounjaro

Demanda Ozempic & Mounjaro

Recientemente se ha presentado una demanda contra Novo Nordisk y Eli Lilly, los fabricantes de Ozempic y Mounjaro, dos medicamentos para la diabetes que se utilizan cada vez más de forma no autorizada para perder peso. Esta acción legal, interpuesta en nombre de una mujer de Luisiana, pone de relieve la gran preocupación que suscitan los graves problemas estomacales relacionados con estos medicamentos. A continuación se ofrece un análisis en profundidad de la demanda, su fundamento y sus implicaciones.

Antecedentes del caso

Alegaciones de la demandante: La demanda se centra en Jaclyn Bjorklund, que alega lesiones graves tras tomar Ozempic y Mounjaro. Experimentó molestias gastrointestinales extremas, incluidos vómitos persistentes tan graves que le provocaron la pérdida de dientes.

Medicamentos en cuestión: Ozempic y Mounjaro pertenecen a la clase de los agonistas del GLP-1, diseñados para controlar la diabetes de tipo 2 y utilizados a menudo para perder peso. Estos fármacos ralentizan el movimiento de los alimentos a través del estómago, lo que puede causar problemas gastrointestinales.

Relación potencial entre estos medicamentos y la gastroparesia

Reclamaciones legales

Omisión de advertencias: La demanda alega que los fabricantes de fármacos no informaron adecuadamente del riesgo de gastroparesia grave, también conocida como parálisis estomacal, una enfermedad que impide el movimiento de los alimentos del estómago a los intestinos.

Fundamento de las alegaciones: Aunque en las etiquetas de los medicamentos se mencionan “retrasos en el vaciado gástrico”, la condición específica de la gastroparesia no lo es. La demandante alega que esta omisión le hizo desconocer los graves riesgos asociados a estos medicamentos.

Perspectiva médica

Resumen de la enfermedad: La gastroparesia, una complicación a menudo relacionada con la diabetes, ralentiza o detiene el movimiento de los alimentos desde el estómago. Esto puede provocar síntomas graves, como náuseas, vómitos y dolor abdominal.

Opiniones de expertos: Los expertos médicos, aunque reconocen la posible relación entre estos medicamentos y la gastroparesia, también señalan la posibilidad de otras causas, como afecciones médicas subyacentes.

Implicaciones jurídicas y próximos pasos

Posibilidad de demanda colectiva: Con cerca de 400 personas que alegan lesiones similares y la expectativa de que se produzcan más casos, esta demanda puede convertirse en una demanda colectiva o en un litigio multidistrito.

Papel de la FDA: La FDA ha actualizado las advertencias sobre el Ozempic por otras cuestiones, pero aún no ha comentado las afirmaciones sobre la gastroparesia. Su seguimiento continuo podría influir en futuros desarrollos legales.

How do I know I have a case?

If you were injured in any way–medically, emotionally, physically, in a car, at work, on the street–then you may have a case. Employers, companies, and individuals have a “duty of care.” This term refers to each person’s obligation to avoid actions or situations that endanger other people.

Personal injury attorneys offer their services on what is called a “contingency fee” basis. That means we pay for all the upfront costs of your case–hiring specialists, paying court fees, even assessing medical care. You owe us nothing, and we only take a fee if you win your case.

As soon as possible, ideally. Give our personal injury law firm a call to speak with one of our staff members confidentially, even if it’s not normal business hours where you are. Also feel free to fill out our contact form with some basic information about you and your case. A member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

Once we’ve investigated the basic details of your injuries and your case, we’ll be able to tell you how much compensation you’re entitled to. While we (and no ethical attorney) can make promises regarding your case, we can help calculate the costs and lost wages caused by your harm.

At Cronauer Law, we have extensive experience handling a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

Let's review your case

Protecting those who have been wrongfully harmed

Companies, employers, and individuals have a “duty of care.” Everyone has the obligation to avoid actions or situations that may have put you in any harm.

If you have been injured in any way – medical, physical, and emotional harm – it is important to contact a reputable lawyer right away. At Cronauer Law, we have proven that we can be trusted with the most complex cases.

Duty of Care

In tort law, a duty of care is a legal obligation which is imposed on an individual requiring adherence to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably harm others. It is the first element that must be established to proceed with an action in negligence. The claimant must be able to show a duty of care imposed by law which the defendant has breached. In turn, breaching a duty may subject an individual to liability. The duty of care may be imposed by operation of law between individuals with no current direct relationship (familial or contractual or otherwise), but eventually become related in some manner, as defined by common law (meaning case law).
