Weight loss injections like Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro have taken the UK by storm – fuelled by celebrity buzz and promises of quick results. But behind the hype, more and more users are reporting unexpected side effects, some of them serious.

Have you used one of these treatments and had a bad reaction? We’re collecting real stories to raise awareness. No pressure, just your experience, in your own words.
Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy — they’ve been called miracle fixes, but for some, the side effects are anything but minor. If you’ve experienced complications after using a weight loss injection, you’re not alone. From ongoing nausea to serious health issues, this guide breaks down what’s being reported — and what you can do next to protect your health and your rights.
Despite the risks, some patients have accessed weight loss injections through online pharmacies and unregulated medi-spas, often without proper medical assessment. And, in the United States, lawsuits are already underway against drug manufacturers for failing to provide adequate safety warnings.

Even though no lawsuit is in progress in the UK, keeping documentation could support your claim in the future.
In the UK, if a group of people have experienced loss, or otherwise been harmed by an organisation’s law breaking, they can come together to fight for justice. Levelling the playing field when standing up to big businesses, group actions prove that there is strength in numbers. At Join the Claim, we bring consumers and law firms together to ensure these group actions are as powerful as possible.
We won’t charge you a single penny. And we ensure any law firms we connect you with operate on a no-win-no-fee basis. If you win, the law firm will either take its fees from your compensation payment or recover these from the defendants.
A no win, no fee agreement means you don’t pay your solicitor’s legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. This makes it easier and more affordable to take part in group litigation.
