INTRODUCTION TO THE TRULICITY LAWSUIT
Trulicity (dulaglutide) is used to treat type-2 diabetes and is manufactured by Eli Lilly. Trulicity comes in a hypodermic needle which is used to inject the drug under your skin. The recommended initial dose is 0.75 mg per week with a maximum dosage of 1.5 mg per week. However, Trulicity, like Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, and Mounjaro, works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists), a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion from the liver. It is not listed as a controlled substance.
Common Trulicity side effects include diarrhea, frequent bowel movements, nausea, and retching. Other side effects include abdominal distress, abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, asthenia, dyspepsia, fatigue, gastrointestinal pain, lower abdominal pain, upper abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and malaise. However, Trulicity, like Rybelsus, Wegovy, Saxenda, and Ozempic is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. CNN recently reported that at least two people, one taking Ozempic and the other taking Wegovy, have experienced more than just minor stomach issues; these individuals have been diagnosed with gastroparesis, or "stomach paralysis". In addition, Dr. Andrew Boxer, a gastroenterologist at Gastroenterology Associates of New Jersey, is among several gastroenterologists who said he is seeing an increased number of patients coming into his practice complaining of side effects from these types of drugs. In an article on Healthline, Dr. Boxer continued stating that "I was seeing a tremendous amount of people coming in just with nausea, vomiting, and feelings of fullness, early satiety, just not feeling well … Universally these patients were on GLP-1’s." Trulicity Lawsuits continued to be filed which have been centralized before one court by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation for pretrial proceedings and coordinated discovery. Those who took Trulicity and subsequently suffered Trulicity side effects may be eligible for a Trulicity Lawsuit and financial compensation. With that brief overview, read on as we answer the seven most frequently asked questions from consumers and patients about a Trulicity lawsuit. What are the SERIOUS TRULICITY SIDE EFFECTS LEADING TO A TRULICITY LAWSUIT?
Persistent Vomiting:
what is THE LINK BETWEEN TRULICITY AND GASTROPARESIS?
Gastroparesis is a condition characterized by delayed stomach emptying, resulting in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and bloating. It can be caused by various factors, including diabetes, certain medications, and neurological disorders. Recently, there have been several reports of individuals who developed gastroparesis after taking Trulicity and had to be taken to the emergency room for extended hospital stays.
Trulicity is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes by improving blood sugar control. While the exact relationship between Trulicity and gastroparesis is not fully understood, healthcare providers and patients need to be aware of this potentially severe and painful Trulicity side effect which has been referred to as “a debilitating disease.” Trulicity belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). These medications work by increasing insulin secretion, reducing glucagon production, and slowing down digestion. While they are generally well-tolerated, there have been increasing cases reported of individuals who developed gastroparesis after taking Trulicity. Indeed, CNN recently reported that at least two people taking the same class of drugs, one taking Ozempic and the other taking Wegovy, have experienced more than just minor stomach issues; these individuals have been diagnosed with gastroparesis, or “paralyzed stomachs”. In addition, Dr. Andrew Boxer, a gastroenterologist at Gastroenterology Associates of New Jersey, is among several gastroenterologists who said he is seeing an increased number of patients coming into his practice complaining of side effects from these types of drugs. In an article on Healthline, Dr. Boxer continued stating that “I was seeing a tremendous amount of people coming in just with nausea, vomiting, and feelings of fullness, early satiety, just not feeling well … Universally these patients were on GLP-1’s.” (emphasis added). The exact mechanism by which Trulicity may cause or contribute to the development of gastroparesis is not well understood. The medication’s effects on digestion and stomach emptying may play a role. Additionally, individual factors such as pre-existing gastrointestinal conditions or other medications being taken concurrently may also contribute to the development of gastroparesis in individuals using Trulicity. If a patient develops symptoms of gastroparesis after starting Trulicity, it is important for them to consult with their healthcare provider immediately. Symptoms of gastroparesis can include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, and feeling full quickly after eating. According to some of the individuals who developed gastroparesis after taking Trulicity, it is a very painful ordeal. Therefore, a thorough evaluation will help determine if the symptoms are indeed related to the medication or if there are other underlying factors contributing to the development of gastroparesis. According to the Mayo Clinic, there is no known cure for gastroparesis, although withdrawal of the drug may bring an end to it. Gastroparesis can cause major complications in the body, like dehydration, malnutrition, and a decreased quality of life. Gastroparesis has been described as a long-term condition that can impair quality of life and well-being and can affect not only those suffering from the disease but also family members and friends. In cases where Trulicity is suspected to be the cause of gastroparesis, healthcare providers may consider discontinuing the medication and exploring alternative treatment options for managing diabetes. It is important for patients to communicate any changes in their symptoms to their healthcare provider so that appropriate adjustments in treatment can be made. In conclusion, while Trulicity is generally well-tolerated and effective in managing blood sugar control in individuals with type 2 diabetes, there have been increasing reports of individuals developing gastroparesis after taking this medication. It is crucial for healthcare providers and patients to be aware of this potentially severe Trulicity side effect and monitor for symptoms of gastroparesis. Prompt communication between patients and healthcare providers is key to ensuring optimal management and treatment in these cases.
