OZEMPIC  (SEMAGLUTIDE):  Semaglutide is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Semaglutide is similar to a natural hormone in your body (incretin). It works by causing insulin release in response to high blood sugar (such as after a meal) and decreasing the amount of sugar your liver makes. If you use insulin, semaglutide is not a substitute for insulin treatment.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2017-12-05

 4  High A1c Nausea, bloated feeling, loss of appetite for most foods. A1c went down to pre-diabetes range, lost 30 lbs. I had tried 9 other drugs before this and all of them made me very ill. So far the side effects are more tolerable then the other meds that I tried. M 62 1 years

 1  Type 2 Diabetes Horrible nausea. Sulfur burps and gas. Migraines. Anxiety. Brain fog. Dizziness. Depression. Irritability. Please do your research on Ozempic. This is a very scary medication. These side effects are real and they wreak havoc on your body. Feels like I constantly have food poisoning. I think it is poison!! I would never ever recommend to anyone. I am stopping this and I hope it does not take too long to get out of my system. I would rate it a -10 if I could. Be careful!!! F 41 6 weeks

 1  Type 2 diabetes I did not think I had too many side effects at the beginning when I started on .25 and then .5 but I did not lose any weight but it did lower my hba1c from 99 to 60 when I went up to 1 mg. moving forward 6 month I have really bad abdominal pain under my left rib going over to my right rib and into the middle of my back. I am now down for an urgent ct scan as my liver levels have raised dramatically in 3 months and they are looking at pancreatitis/ liver issues which can be caused by ozempic. Looking back on the last few months I have been down,had intermittent abdominal pain and not being able to eat ...... but still did not loose weight. I would like to know how long it took for the side effects to wear off? They worst thing is it you look at the side effects it can cause pancreatic or thyroid tumours which is which I cannot believe it was passed to be used? Honestly do not use it try another way F 53 1 years

 1  Type 2 diabetes Sulphur egg burps,intense stomach cramps, lots of gas vominting/nausea diahorrea I was prescribed this 6 weeks ago. Initially I was fine on the 0.25 dose. 3 weeks ago I went up to 0.5 and oh boy I have been so bad. Constant sulphur burps with vomiting and diarrhoea. I have never experienced stomach pain like it ( and over had 2 children) I get so tired I cannot lift my head up. This is going on for longer and longer each week I take it. I am going to go to the GP and request an alternative. I cannot even keep fluids down I am unable to look after my disabled son 4 days of the week. It has lowered my sugars greatly but not worth it for me. F 38 42 days

 1  Diabetes T2 It did lower my blood sugar levels, but the side effects are NOT worth it. The first day I had no appetite, nausea, was uncomfortably bloated and a headache. The second day I couldn't eat or drink anything including water because it caused stomach cramping and the nausea to get much worse. By the third day I couldn't function. I was still experiencing nausea, headaches and bloating and a new side effect; severe diarrhea. I think the I only reason I haven't vomited is from shear force of will! My doctor warned me that the side effects could be uncomfortable, but this is too much. F 42 3 days

While I've been on Ozempic for nearly 6 months I've recently developed horrid flu-like symptoms after dosing that last for several days. Nausea is a constant but managed with Prilosec and anti-nausea medications. I've lost over 20 lbs. and my overall labs continue to improve but the symptoms are becoming unbearable. F 42 5 months

 3  Diabetes Type 2 I started taking synjardy in April because metformin wasn't working well enough. The synjardy (Jardiance/ metformin combo) wasn't lowering my daily numbers and A1C only dropped from 8.8 to 8.6. The 2nd week in July I then started Ozempic in conjunction with the synjardy. I haven't had my A1C tested again but I'm scheduled soon since beginning Ozempic. I am very happy with my daily numbers which vary from 98-135 or a fairly consistent basis. The problem I have with Ozempic appears to be a common problem as with everybody else on this post; bloating, sulfur burps and gas (which are so vile), diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting. The vomiting has happened 4 times so essentially once a month. However, it's just not like a 5 minute episode it is anywhere from 90 min to 2 hours of vomiting, not moving from the bathroom and emptying your entire stomach content as well as your intestinal content out the other end. Once that is over I'm fairly spent for the rest of the day and feel weak into even the next day. I have also lost weight. I probably lost 7 or 8 pounds on synjardy alone and then after adding Ozempic, I lost another 20 lb. So I'm very happy with the glucose results and weight loss but the other complications caused from Ozempic I'm not sure I will be able to continue to withstand. F 53 15 weeks
