Saxenda and Stomach Paralysis

Lawsuits have been filed by people who took Saxenda and developed stomach paralsis (gastroparesis). This side effect occurs when Saxenda slows down the movement of food through the digestive system, resulting in severe nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and other symptoms. Lawsuits claim that drug-makers did not adequately warn patients or doctors about the risk of stomach paralysis.

Saxenda and Pancreatic Cancer

Saxenda contains liraglutide, the same active ingredient as the diabetes drug Victoza. In March 2013, the FDA warned that patients who were treated with liraglutide may be at risk of developing pancreatitis (pancreas inflammation) and pre-cancerous changes in the pancreas that could lead to pancreatic cancer. The FDA warning was issued after a study of tissue samples found evidence of pre-cancerous tumors in the pancreas of patients who were taking diabetes drugs like liraglutide.

Saxenda and Thyroid Cancer

Saxenda’s label carries a prominent Boxed Warning about thyroid cancer. In clinical trials, Saxenda caused thyroid C-cell tumors in rodents at normal dosage levels. It is unknown if Saxenda causes thyroid cancer in people, but the FDA warns that Saxenda should not be taken by patients with a history of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type-2 (MEN 2).

• Pain on the front of the neck
• Hoarseness

What is the problem?

The Clark Firm, LLP is nationally recognized as a class action law firm in Texas. However, we are not filing a Saxenda class action. Instead, our lawyers are pursuing individual injury lawsuits for people who were injured by Saxenda side effect.s

About Class Actions

In most class action lawsuits, one person files the lawsuit on behalf of everyone who has the same injury. Lawyers representing the lead plaintiff seek compensation through a jury verdict or a settlement. Any payout is divided among everyone who joins the class action lawsuit.

Why Our Law Firm is Filing Individual Lawsuits as Opposed to a Class Action

In many cases, the disadvantage of class actions is that one person has been injured far more seriously than everyone else in the lawsuit. That person may have to share the payout. They may also have to accept higher attorneys’ fees or a “low-ball” settlement agreement.

Instead of a class action, our lawyers are filing individual Saxenda lawsuits. We specialize in holding drug-makers accountable for failing to warn about severe side effects. If you were injured by Saxenda, you may be eligible for financial compensation.
