Woman Says Her Colon Had to Be Removed After Taking Ozempic
Briefly

Juanita Gantt, after losing her colon due to complications she attributes to Ozempic and Wegovy, is suing Novo Nordisk, claiming she was not warned about serious side effects.
Despite being prescribed these medications for weight loss, she was not adequately informed of the potential risks associated with semaglutide, particularly the severe gastrointestinal issues.
Her medical ordeal included a significant surgery and subsequent cardiac arrest, dramatically impacting her quality of life and resulting in the need for an ileostomy bag.
Gantt’s lawsuit emphasizes the importance of informed consent, as she believes Novo Nordisk failed to properly warn her about the drugs' severe side effects.
