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.   FDA Approval Date: 2017-12-05 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Weight loss For the initial dose .25ml for 4 weeks I experienced bloating, abdominal tenderness, shocking reflux and heartburn. I started Nexium for heartburn which helped. The first week of going up to .5 was ok and manageable. The second week has been terrible. I've never had diahorrea like it - I haven't been able to go to work all week. Sulphur burps, abdominal pain, nausea with some dry retching. It's Sunday so this has been going on 7 days. I can't go to work as the diahorrea hits with no warning and I'm a theatre nurse. I've been laid out in bed most of the week. Im so worried about not being able to work again this week as I have no sick pay left. But I am so sick. Im so disappointed that it isn't going to work for me F 49 5 weeks

 1  Was Type 2 Diabetic He had a very very very bad infection which caused kidney failure and taking Dialysis now he's incongnent, and in a wheelchair, and leg brace! He has Liver and Lung damage., he gets fluid drained from his lung regularly. He was in the hospital 8 months last year, and was near death, code blue! More research has to be done before finding ginny pigs to take such a drug. I dont recommend anyone taking Ozempic!!!!!! Take that drug out of Canada!!! And STOP the Commercials M 54 0 months

 5  Weight loss Initial nausea, stomach cramps. Many food adversions. Seems that many packaged items, including bagged vegetables such as lettuce, have a chemical taste to me now. Ozempic helped with weight loss tremendously. I lost 35 pounds in 5 months. I started at 180 at 5'7 so not obese but pushing it. Initial side effect stink but worth it if you can push through them. Side effects dissipated after a couple months. F 45 6 months

May reduce dose back to .50 Appears its strong suit is making you afraid to eat due to consequences after small meals. Trying crackers to jeep a little in stomach but unsure of future course.

 3  Type 2 Diabetes Sulfur Burping almost immediately- made better with prilosec. Mild nausea and constipation on the .25 and .5 doses. After 3 months a1c down to 7 from 10.1. Dr upped the dose to 1.0. First 24-48 hours projectile vomiting and mild diarrhea if eat any heavy meal. Going to try 1 more week and very mild eating to see if that helps. Otherwise going back to .5 or off of it F 49 4 months

 3  Weight loss Horrible heartburn, indigestion, sulphur burps, constipation, explosive diarrhea, severe fatigue. I started taking Ozempic over 6 weeks ago. Started at .25 for 4 weeks, then upped to .50. My Dr. Gave it to me to aid in weight loss. I already take metformin for t2 diabetes, and it keeps my BS regulated. It's no wonder people lose weight. You can barely eat anything without having explosive diarrhea so you don't wanna eat. When I'm not having too many gastro issues, it does help suppress my appetite. I've lost 11lbs in 6 weeks. Not too bad. If these side effects don't go away soon, I won't be continuing it though. F 41 6 weeks

 5  Lower A1C, weight loss IMPORTANT to start just few clicks each week till reach desired dose is what my endocrinologist told me and is how he gets patients to tolerate the medication. Was true for me. Max dose I could tolerate was 0.5, higher dose gave me severe fatigue, even if I increased dose very slowly. Reached my goal of A1C 5.7 down from 6.0. Unfortunately only lost ten pounds total. It does lower your cravings for sweets or snacks. Do eat smaller amounts but guess my fault for minimal weight loss because eat wrong foods. F 53 100 days

Patient History
 1  Weight Loss Within 4 hours of taking the shot, I was very tired. The days after that, I had brain fog and fatigue. Of curse I had moderate nausea and I did not poop for days. I drank one cup of coffee one week later and I never pooped so much in my life! My God. It's now been 2 weeks since the shot and some of the brain fog has cleared up but I have to take daily naps which I rarely did prior. M 51 1 weeks

 1  To lower my A1C I would wake up in the morning sometimes with sulfur burps, explosive diarrhea then more intense sulfur burps which would turn my stomach and I would start to have explosive vomiting but if nothing was in my stomach I would dry heave. I experienced this one day while driving my car and it's quite difficult to vomit and drive a vehicle. I would be laid up for about 3 to 5 days. Had to stop taking it. M 53 3 weeks

 5  Pre-diabetic, weight loss I took it around 430pm one day and felt nausea the rest of that day. Woke up the next morning still nauseous and tried to eat a slice of buttered toast so I could take my morning meds. With in a hour of eating I was vomiting and continued to vomit for 2.5 days. I could not keep even water down. Ended up in the ER to get IV fluids for dehydration and fenergan for nausea. The rest of the week I still had trouble eating. I believe my doctor started me out on to big of a dose at 1mg. My Dr has no switched me to mounjaro 2.5mg. Fingers crossed that I don't have those same horrible side effects this Time around.
