Ozempic Gi Side Effects (Page 2) (Top voted 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 stopped taking Ozempic and switched to Mounjaro because the side effects were so extreme. I've had a lot better luck since. GI side effects are tough, even on Mounjaro (my experience) - TUMS has worked incredibly well, though - I tried everything. It cut down the stomach acid I was struggling with which seems to have helped my bowel movements, too.

I too have experienced this where I have dropped from 1.0 back down to .50 started taking Pepmo Bismo to see if this helps.
Have also had violent episodes of vomiting.
I usually last 1 day but this is the 1st time in 3 weeks I’m going to try and work.

Hi. I am diabetic and overweight. I have been on Ozempic for almost 1 year and definitely have issues with eating and digesting meat, poultry, and seafood. I rarely eat red meat, but I do eat poultry, seafood, and occasionally, pork. I find that sometimes I feel nauseous during and after eating it. I also have less appetite, which can make it difficult to eat. I get frequent stomach/abdominal pain and very smelly loose bowels or diarrhea. When I avoid eating any type of meat or seafood, then the diarrhea goes away for the most part. I take a lot of other meds, so I'm not sure it's the Ozempic, but things have definitely gotten worse since I started the Ozempic. I have lost 22 lbs and my a1c is down to 6.5 from 8.8, but I am considering stopping it and just increasing my exercise and tightening my diet to lose at least another 38 lbs. I am going to talk to my doctor about it. I hope this helps.

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?
