INTRODUCTION TO THE TRULICITY LAWSUIT

In recent years, a concerning trend has emerged among individuals taking the type 2 diabetes medication Trulicity (dulaglutide). Numerous reports and studies have linked this prescription drug to the development of a debilitating condition known as gastroparesis, or "stomach paralysis." This severe gastrointestinal disorder can have a profoundly negative impact on a patient's quality of life, leading to a range of distressing symptoms such as persistent nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain, and is among the most severe side effects of Trulicity.

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 Rybelsus, Wegovy, Saxenda, and Ozempic is a GLP-1 receptor agonist with the same or similar side effects, some of which are debilitating such as gastroparesis, persistent vomiting, intestinal blockages or bowel obstructions or ileus. As a result, numerous individuals suffering the severe side effects of Trulicity, have filed Trulicity lawsuits. 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.

Contact Timothy L. Miles, a Trulicity lawyer, today for a free case evaluation if you took Trulicity and were diagnosed with gastroparesis, intestinal blockages or bowel obstruction or ileus, or suffered Trulicity and persistent vomiting or suffered other severe Trulicity side effects, you may be eligible for a Trulicity lawsuit and potentially entitled to substantial compensation.

Read on for answers to six of the most often asked questions about the Trulicity lawsuit.

WHAT ARE THE COMMON TRULICITY SIDE EFFECTS>

Nausea: Frequently reported, nausea can vary in intensity and often subsides as treatment continues.
Diarrhea: This includes frequent bowel movements, which are common but usually lessen with time.
Vomiting and Retching: These symptoms can occur, particularly at the start of treatment.
Abdominal Pain: Some users may experience discomfort or pain in the abdominal area.
Indigestion: This can manifest as heartburn or stomach discomfort after eating.

Additional Discomforts

Decreased Appetite: You might find your appetite is reduced, which could impact your food intake.
Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or weak can also be a side effect of Trulicity.

WHAT ARE THE SERIOUS TRULICITY SIDE EFFECTS LEADING TO A TRULICITY LAWSUIT?

Persistent Vomiting:

Numerous reports and studies have suggested a strong association between Trulicity and persistent vomiting.
This side effect can be debilitating and significantly impact the quality of life for individuals taking Trulicity.
Persistent vomiting refers to continuous and uncontrollable bouts of vomiting that occur for an extended period, requiring trips to the emergency room.
The exact mechanism by which Trulicity triggers this reaction is still being studied, but it is believed to be related to the drug’s effect on the gastrointestinal system.

Gastroparesis:

Stomach Paralysis: Trulicity has been associated with gastroparesis (stomach paralysis), a condition where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents.
This condition has also been observed in patients using similar diabetes medications.

Thyroid and Gallbladder Issues:

Thyroid Cancer: There is a risk of thyroid tumors, including cancer. Symptoms such as a lump in the neck or difficulty swallowing should be promptly reported.
Gallbladder Disease: Symptoms like severe abdominal pain and jaundice may indicate gallbladder issues, which can arise from Trulicity usage.

Additional Serious Reactions:

Severe Allergic Reactions: Symptoms such as swelling of the face, difficulty breathing, or severe skin rashes necessitate immediate medical attention.
Kidney Damage: Dehydration from severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea can exacerbate kidney issues, potentially leading to kidney failure.
Vision Changes: Any new or worsening issues with vision should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

SHOULD YOU REPORT ANY TRULICITY SIDE EFFECTS YOU SUFFER?

Yes. The FDA encourages people who had a problem related to the devices or drug to report the problem through the MedWatch Voluntary Reporting Form or call 1-800-332-1088 for more information.

Make sure to provide all information about your Trulicity side effects, including gastroparesis, or "paralyzed stomachs" or any other Trulicity side effects you suffered along with a detailed description of any other problems you suffered from taking Trulicity.
Additionally, the FDA also advises individuals that they may safely dispose of any unused Trulicity at a neighborhood drug takeback location and provides instructions on how to safely dispose of the drug if there are no nearby takeback centers, as well as what to do with your medicine that has been exposed to heat, such as fire, on unsafe water.

To be eligible for a Trulicity lawsuit, you must have taken the medication as prescribed and subsequently experienced one or more of the following severe side effects:

Gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying)

Takata airbag lawyer Timothy L. Miles

Timothy L. Miles is a top-rated and AV preeminent lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee and a nationally known class action and products liability lawyer who has been leading the fight to protect consumer rights for over 22 years. Mr. Miles received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee in 1995 and his J.D. from the Nashville School of Law in May 2001, graduating third in his class, and was made a member of the Honorable Society of Cooper’s Inn which is reserved for students graduating in the top ten percent of their class.

He is admitted to practice before the Tennessee Supreme Court; the United States District Court for the Western, Middle and Eastern Districts of Tennessee and the District of Colorado; and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. He is a member of the Nashville Bar Association; National Trial Lawyers Association; and Harry Phillips American Inns of Court (Student Member 2000). Mr. Miles has dedicated his career to representing consumers and shareholders in complex class-action litigation, products liability and mass torts.

Whether serving as lead, co-lead, or liaison counsel, Mr. Miles has helped recover millions of dollars for aggrieved consumers, shaped precedent-setting decisions, and delivered real corporate governance reforms. Judges and peers have repeatedly recognized Mr. Miles’ relentless advocacy for the underdog, as well as his unbendable ethical standards.

For example, Mr. Miles is a member of the prestigious Top 100 Civil Plaintiff Trial Lawyers: The National Trial Lawyers Association, which is by invitation only and is “extended to those attorneys who exemplify superior qualifications, trial results, and leadership in their respective state based upon objective and uniformly applied criteria.” The National Trial Lawyers Association explained the significance of this honor: “With the selection of Timothy L. Miles by The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100, [Mr.] Miles has shown that he exemplifies superior qualifications, leadership skills, and trial results as a trial lawyer. The selection process for this elite honor is based on a multi-phase process which includes peer nominations combined with third party research.” Further, “[m]embership is extended only to the select few of the most qualified attorneys from each state or region who demonstrate superior qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence, stature and public profile measured by objective and uniformly applied standards in compliance with state bar and national Rule 4-7.”

Additionally, Mr. Miles has maintained an AV Preeminent Rating in securities law with Martindale-Hubble since 2014, their highest award given. The coveted AV Preeminent rating is reserved for “[a]n elite group of approximately 10 percent of all attorneys.” Additionally, while Martindale’s peer review ratings have been trusted for decades because they are based on the opinions and feedback of fellow legal practitioners, the organization’s special judicial edition rating, which Mr. Miles received this year for the sixth year in a row, is an even higher honor. As Martindale notes, the prestigious judicial rating is its highest possible distinction, and is representative of the opinions of both a lawyer’s peers and members of the judiciary.
