Rybelsus is a popular medicine used to treat Type 2 diabetes and help with weight loss. If you have diabetes, you might have Rybelsus in your medicine cabinet. You trusted the information provided by the company, but they didn't tell you that semaglutide, the active ingredient, can increase your chances of developing a "paralyzed stomach" or gastroparesis. If you or a loved one has been feeling very sick with stomach problems, it could be because the full side effects of Rybelsus were not disclosed.
This has led to multiple lawsuits against Novo Nordisk, the maker of Rybelsus. Contact us today if you believe you were harmed by this medicine. You might be eligible for compensation.
What Is Stomach Paralysis?
Stomach paralysis, also called gastroparesis, is a condition where the muscles in your stomach don't work properly. This slows down or stops the movement of food from your stomach to your small intestine, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloating, and stomach pain.
How Serious Is Stomach Paralysis?
Gastroparesis can be very serious if not treated. It can affect your daily life by making it hard to eat and digest food. Some long-term effects include:
- Malnutrition from not absorbing enough nutrients.
- Unpredictable blood sugar levels, making diabetes harder to manage.
- Weight loss and muscle weakness due to not getting enough calories.
- Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances from vomiting.
- Higher risk of acid reflux (GERD), which can damage your esophagus.
- Severe cases may require hospitalization to manage complications.
