GLP-1 safety concerns hit Novo Nordisk — over 90 lawsuits filed
More than 90 lawsuits have been filed against Novo Nordisk in New Jersey state court since 2025 over semaglutide, the active ingredient in its diabetes and weight-loss drugs. Plaintiffs allege they developed NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy) — a condition that can cause sudden vision loss — after using the diabetes version of semaglutide.
NVO is down 4.86% following renewed attention on this safety issue.
Why this is notable: GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, and similar) have been one of the biggest pharma growth stories of the past few years. A wave of litigation like this — even before any court rulings — tends to weigh on sentiment and can raise questions about long-term regulatory and liability risk across the entire drug class, not just one company.
Worth watching: whether more plaintiffs join these suits, and how Novo Nordisk responds — both will likely shape near-term price action.
