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

 3  Weight loss I started on .25 and gradually moved up to 2mg after i had tolerated 4 weeks of 1mg. My side effects leading up to 2mg was typical nausea, headache and unlike most severe constipation. The first week of 2mg. I was so sick. My bp was extremely high i had chest and back pain. I also have experienced allergy like symptoms. My scalp and skin itching without any visible rash. Im also experiencing hair loss and im not sure if it's because of the medication. Im now back on 1mg and tolerating it for the most part, but im not loosing much weight. Im 5'3 and was over 200pds and now i range between 185 189. Im desperate to loose weight. I never had issues with my weight until 20 years ago when i was diagnosed with low thyroid. Even though my blood work shows my thyroid is under control i wonder if that could be affecting my progress. Please feel free to email me if you have had similar experience with ozempic.

 2  T2Diabetic Muscle soreness in my chest, flu like symptoms, very fatigued and lethargic. I had been on previously .25 which was OK & sensed it made me limit my food intake some. But twice now the Dr.'s wanted me to increase to .5 levels. Each time I only increased the medicine to 50% increase. And, each time I had very bad side effects! Find your sweet spot and stay on that?

 3  T2D Started on the .25mg and experienced fatigue, dizziness and constipation. I then started on the .5 mg dosage, after this first increase I experienced flu like symptoms and upper respiratory symptoms that lasted nearly 3 weeks. After the 3rd dose of the.5mg I had the sulfur burps, flatulence, and diarrhea to the point of having stool leakage and not making it to the bathroom on time. The diarrhea was so bad I had to be checked for c diff. Headaches at night and upon waking, with increased heart rate and increased b/p. Feeling unmotivated and lethargic to the point of lying on the couch doing nothing.This was prob from not eating. I am a 54 yr old female and a nurse. I started ozempic to help get my A1C /T2D under control. I feel that this med with the side effects of wt loss is so beneficial to others like myself who usually come along with other problems such as HTN, Heart Disease, elevated liver enzymes, over wt ect.. BUT I feel like the dosing needs to be titration slower and at smaller intervals with my experience and what other pt are describing as well. I have actually missed work d/t being so sick from the side effects of this drug. I have talked to my physician about these side effects and basically getting dismissed and was told to take 2 other meds to help with the side effects, let me tell you this is how people end up at the hospital or a dr office with a list of meds a mile long, this is unacceptable. I will be dialing myself back to.25 as this has really brought down my blood sugar levels. I will also be seeing endocrinology for my T2D and not my family physician. This drug along with the diet changes and exercise could really help people get their blood sugars and wt under control. I would really like to see the establishment for once being more involved than a 15 min visit and saying “ I have never heard of that” or stating well “ that’s not a side effect, you’ve been taking it for a while, that doesn’t happen” This could really benefit diabetics in the long run.

 3  Weight loss 24 hours after injection, stomach sore to touch, constipated, belching, acid reflux. Returned to doctor, gave me lactulose and said stay on it, doctor says side effects will get better after I relieve constipation. Trying for 3rd week. It took me 20 years to get to this up to this weight, hopefully I can put up with side effects to loose it. My eating is down, I get full easier. F 65 20 days

 1  Pre-Diabetic / Weight Loss Just spent 2 nights in an Emergency hospital, with acute kidney failure caused by severe dehydration brought on by violent diarrhea and vomiting. My blood pressure on admission to hospital had fallen to 63/46, I've never felt so sick in my entire life.. Started to feel nauseous from day 1 but stuck with the program, after 4 weeks I upped the dose (as directed by my doctor) to 0.5mg, that's when it all started to spiral out of control.. The first signs of things going wrong was the burping which was vile (tasted like sulfur / rotten eggs), then the bloating and farting, followed by violent diarrhea (so frequent and voluminous that it was impossible to replace lost fluid quick enough), finally I passed out whilst sitting on toilet, got myself back up again and immediately passed out again, had I not gone to ER at this point, I really think I would have been in real trouble.. Weight loss in 5 weeks was 20lbs (most of which fell out of my ass) regained 5 pounds in hospital after re-hydration.. There are far less dangerous ways of losing weight and reducing blood sugar levels.. Ozempic is not for me. M 59 5 weeks

 1  Weight loss The side effects were bad! I had to stop after 2 doses. Daily nausea, headaches, dizziness , eye pain. Overall I felt awful. After stopping it one week ago I still have the side effects. I've had to put a lot of things on hold because I have to sit or lie down a lot. For me , this is a nightmare. I've used other diets with and with out meds but this has been the worst. I am not a quitter and didn't want to but I feel awful. Not sure how long it takes for side effects to go away. F 70 4 weeks

 2  Weightloss Once I moved up to .5 after 3 weeks I ended up getting extremely bad sulphur burps where it smelt like a rotten egg/dogs ass. I would get plugged up for a day and a half and then id throw up and have diarrea and ended up at emergency. This happened 3 different times tryingf to figure out what caused it as my Dr or ER Dr had no idea it was a side effect with some people. Very disappointed as it does work for weightloss if you can bare it and done get the bad side effects F 45 2 months

 4  Type 2 Diabetes I started on .025 for 5 weeks, then .50 for 5 more weeks. I have been taking 1 mg for 2 weeks now. I have lost my appetite and can only eat anywhere from a couple bites to 1/2 the amount of food I used to. I have gas and bloating, occasional nausea and frequent diarrhea. Pain comes on the left side of stomach and I have Lots of belching. not quite feeling myself. I do have a lot of fatigue. In 12 weeks I have lost 1 pound. My blood sugars have stabilized quite a bit. As far as lowering blood sugar, it does it's job but the side effects can be too much. One should weigh the pros and cons and if it disrupts your lifestyle or not before choosing this medicine F 58 12 weeks
