Rybelsus^® Lawsuit

About the Semaglutide & Rybelsus Lawsuits

Manufactured by Danish company Novo Nordisk, Rybelsus is a semaglutide tablet used to help patients curb food cravings and lose weight.

Popular weight loss drugs like Rybelsus work by slowing digestion and making users feel full for longer periods. However, some users have developed serious side effects, leading them to take legal action against the drug’s manufacturer.

NAION & Rybelsus

Recent studies have raised concerns about a potential link between semaglutide medications like Rybelsus and NAION, a serious eye condition that can lead to vision loss and blindness.

After over 16,800 patients at Massachusetts Eye and Ear were evaluated by neuro-ophthalmologists, researchers compared the rate of NAION in patients prescribed semaglutide with those taking other medications and found a striking difference.

Find out more about the increased risk of NAION from Rybelsus: 

• Diabetes: Patients with type 2 diabetes prescribed semaglutide were over 4 times more likely to develop NAION than those on other diabetes medications.
• Obesity: Patients who were overweight or obese and prescribed semaglutide were over 7 times more likely to develop NAION than those on other weight-loss medications.

Despite growing evidence linking semaglutide to NAION, the Rybelsus warning label doesn’t currently list NAION as a known side effect.

Symptoms of NAION from Rybelsus

Because Rybelsus is taken daily, patients may not immediately connect changes in their vision to the medication.

However, NAION can develop in anyone taking a semaglutide medication, so it’s important for users to be aware of the warning signs of this condition.

Symptoms of NAION from Rybelsus may include: 

• A dark, shadowy, or blank spot in part of your visual field
• Dimming of vision or loss of contrast and color clarity
• Sudden vision loss or blurriness in one eye, often noticed upon waking
• Swelling of the optic nerve, which may be detected during an eye exam

If you are taking Rybelsus and experience any sudden changes in your vision, seek immediate medical attention. NAION can progress rapidly, and vision loss from this condition is often permanent and irreversible.

Who Can File a Rybelsus Lawsuit?

Rybelsus lawsuit eligibility generally depends on whether you were prescribed a semaglutide medication and if you were later diagnosed with NAION or another serious side effect.

You may be able to file a Rybelsus lawsuit if you or a loved one:

• Used Rybelsus or another GLP-1 like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Trulicity, Wegovy, or Zepbound
• Suffered serious health issues like vision loss linked to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)

However, you only have a limited amount of time to file a Rybelsus NAION lawsuit due to state deadlines known as the statute of limitations.

Call (800) 995-1212 as soon as possible for free help determining your Rybelsus lawsuit eligibility before the deadline passes.
