Eligibility Criteria for a Trulicity Lawsuit
TRULICITY LAWSUIT UPDATE
All Trulicity lawsuits along with all other GLP-1 receptor agonists (Saxenda, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Rybellus, Zepbound and Ozempic) were transferred to Judge Karen Marston in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (MDL Court) by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict of Litigation for coordinated discovery and pretrial proceedings. As of August 2024, the parties in the Trulicity MDL are in the discovery phase, where both sides exchange information and evidence. After discovery, "bellwether trials" will begin and depending on the outcomes could lead to a possible settlement.
INTRODUCTION TO THE TRULICITY LAWSUIT AND THE DEBILITATING TRULICITY SIDE EFFECTS
Contact us if you suffered severe Trulicity side effects about a 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.
Trulicity is a once-a-week injectable medication that can be utilized as a primary treatment for controlling blood sugar levels in individuals over the age of 18 with type-2 diabetes.
Its mechanism of action involves mimicking the actions of GLP-1, a natural hormone that promotes insulin production and suppresses glucagon release from the liver.
Despite not being FDA-approved for weight loss, Trulicity is frequently prescribed off-label for weight management, similar to other GLP-1 receptor agonists like Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Saxenda, Wegovy, Zepbound and Ozempic.
This medication also carries the potential for serious side effects associated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as gastroparesis, gallbladder disease, kidney damage, and persistent vomiting.
If you have experienced severe side effects from Trulicity, it is advisable to seek legal counsel from attorney Timothy L. Miles, as you may be eligible for a Trulicity lawsuit and possibly entitled to substantial compensation.
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.
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.
TRULICITY AND GASTROPARESIS
If you suffered severe Trulicity side effects call us today about a Trulicity lawsuit
Gastroparesis(stomach paralysis) 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.
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.” 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.
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.
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.
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.
Patients need 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 has been a steady increase in reports of individuals developing gastroparesis after taking this medication. Healthcare providers and patients must 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.
MEDICAL EXPERTS' PERSPECTIVES ON TRULICITY AND GASTROPARESIS CONFIRM ALLEGATIONS IN THE TRULICITY LAWSUIT
Prominent medical experts, including Dr. Meera Shah from the Mayo Clinic, and one of the most prominent Endocrinologists in the world, have observed a higher incidence of gastroparesis symptoms in patients taking GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Trulicity and Ozempic. Dr. Shah has noted that nausea is the most common of the Trulicity side effects reported by her patients, followed by abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. In some cases, gastroparesis caused by Trulicity can lead to severe complications such as malnutrition and hospitalization.

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.

TRULICITY AND INTESTINAL BLOCKAGES, OR BOWEL OBSTRUCTION
Intestinal blockages, also known as bowel obstruction, and have been reported by certain individuals who have taken Trulicity (dulaglutide). These blockages can hinder the movement of food and waste through the intestines, leading to intense discomfort, swelling, and vomiting. It appears that this side effect is more prevalent in males and in those who have been using the medication for a shorter duration. In 2017, eight cases were documented, with the majority of them requiring surgical intervention. Nevertheless, the specific process by which Trulicity induces these blockages is still not fully understood.
If you took Trulicity and developed intestinal blockages or bowel obstructions, contact Timothy L. Miles today as you would be eligible for a Trulicity lawsuit and possibly entitled to substantial compensation. (855) 846–6529 or [email protected].
TRULICITY AND ILEUS
Ileus has also been reported as one of the side effects of Trulicity and other GLP-1 receptor agonists. Ileus differs from an intestinal obstruction or blockage. In the case of ileus, the walls of the intestines are unable to propel the contents of the digestive system forward, which is termed a nonmechanical bowel obstruction. Conversely, if a physical barrier hinders the movement of contents, it constitutes a mechanical bowel obstruction. Various factors can cause a physical blockage, and it can occur at any point in the colon, extending to the rectum.
If you have developed Ileus, you will been symptoms in your stomach area for 24-72 hours. You may:
Feel bloated from a buildup of gas and liquid in your belly
Feel sick to your stomach (nausea)
Throw up (vomit)
Find it hard to poop (constipation)
Not want to eat
Have stomach cramps
Have watery stools
Be dehydrated
If you took Trulicity and developed Ileous, contact Trulicity lawyer Timothy L. Miles for a free case evaluation as you would be eligible for a Trulicity lawsuit and potentially entitled to substantial compensation. (855) 846–6529 or [email protected]/
the importance of reporting Trulicity side effects
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.
