Harmed by a
GLP-1 Drug
Injury Law Made Personal®
GLP-1 injections have helped millions of people with diabetes and weight. For some they have also brought serious harm: a stomach that stops emptying, a blocked bowel, blindness in one eye, even death. If that happened to you, you may be able to hold the drug’s maker to account. Ankin Law has fought for injured Chicagoans for over 35 years.

A Shot at Home
About one in eight American adults was taking a GLP-1 drug in late 2025, most of them injecting it at home once a week.
What the Label Says
The FDA-approved label lists blocked intestines and pancreatitis, sometimes fatal. Federal reports of blocked intestines have included deaths.
What Studies Found
A 2023 study found higher rates of pancreatitis, bowel blockage and stomach paralysis in people using GLP-1 drugs to lose weight.

Who Answers — and What You Can Recover
The Drug Maker
Thousands of people have sued, saying they were never warned about stomach, bowel and vision injuries. Their cases are gathered before a federal judge in Philadelphia.
Compounded Versions
The FDA has hundreds of reports of harm from compounded GLP-1 drugs, including people hospitalized after a wrong dose. Who mixed and sold your dose matters.
What You Can Recover
Medical bills and lost earnings, and what the injury actually costs you — pain and suffering, and the loss of a normal life. Your privacy comes first.
