The manufacturers of diabetes drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro have been sued by a Louisiana woman who claims they failed to adequately warn users that the medications can cause severe gastrointestinal problems including gastroparesis, effectively a paralysis of the stomach.

The 26-page lawsuit (pdf) was filed by personal injury law firm Morgan & Morgan on behalf of the woman, 44-year-old Jaclyn Bjorklund, in a Louisiana court on Aug. 2.
