(Newest replies first)

Hello. I just recently started ozempic I'm type 2 diabetic and am overweight I've worked up to the .5 dose 2 more weeks I'll be on 1.0 is there anyone out there with any experience with this drug? At first I thought I was allergic as I broke out in a rash I thought was poison sumac, but not so sure now. And my bathroom habits have seriously changed from once every morning to several times a day. Any input would be greatly appreciated

I love Ozempic my A1C is 6 it was 10..., I’ve lost 25 pounds. My doctor prescribed me zofran for nausea and it helps with stomach pain and the gassy burps. I do have to drink Metamucil or Mira lax to stay regular. Hope this helps.

I've experienced severe diarrhea and nasty burps while taking Ozempic. Do these side effects eventually go away?

My Dr. called in the generic Ozempic to a compound pharmacy. I pull injections myself. First 4 weeks 12.5 units, then 25 after that. I am on week 2, after ten total days I lost 15 pounds. Yesterday, day 9, I had nausea and threw up all day. Finally got some Dramamine down and could drink water. Ate plain white rice, threw up. Had diarrhea as well. Mild headache could be from lack of food. Drank coffee this morning. How long does this phase tend to last? Does the stomach upset/diarrhea get better? I work from home so I can manage in the short term, was really excited about the healthy weight loss last week as my sugar cravings went away and I ate healthy just not a lot. Focused on protein and nutrition. Don’t want to be discouraged.

I am in my 8th week of Ozempic for weight loss and from week two I have felt sick. Symptoms include: headache, fatigue, constant dull stomach ache. Liquid diarrhea that has a really foul smell, dizziness. I did dishes today and barely got finished. Afterwards, I fell asleep for three hours. I have also been very cold, even though it is over 90 outside. I changed the shot location from my abdomen to my thigh and am currently taking .05mg. I have body aches and sore muscles now too. I tested negative for COVID-19 just last week so that isn't it. Can anyone enlighten me? Will I feel like this the entire time I am on this med? I am thankful for any input anyone can provide. Take care.

Hello, James! How are you doing?

Ozempic contains the active ingredient Semaglutide, it used to treat type 2 diabetes. Its typical side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, as well as the risk of some serious possible side effects, like pancreatic inflammation, and kidney problems, though they are very rare.

The medication information does state that you should have the rash checked out by your doctor, as it could be the sign of an allergic reaction.

Has there been any change?
