Yes, semaglutide is dangerous for the vagus nerve and can even cause irreparable damage to it. The vagus nerve is responsible for a few important bodily functions. It controls digestion, heart rate, and even mood. When administered, semaglutide affects the vagus nerve so it helps slow down gastric emptying. This aids in helping you control your appetite but this can lead to long-term damage as well.
Vagus nerve damage can eventually lead to gastroparesis or stomach paralysis. This is an untreatable condition that results in persistent abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea. The long-term effects of semaglutide can seriously affect one’s quality of life. If you believe due to using semaglutide you are now suffering from gastroparesis, you could be a potential claimant.
If you’ve developed gastroparesis due to the use of Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus, our team can help you out. All we need from you is your medical record that shows you’ve been treated with semaglutide and that you didn’t have gastroparesis before the treatment. Of course, you also need to have been diagnosed with gastroparesis after at least one round of treatment. If you’re eligible, we’ll connect you with an attorney to formally file the claim.
