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 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.

I ,too, had the egg burps until I started having a serving of zero calorie yogurt daily with a handful of frozen blueberries mixed in. My burps happened at bedtime, awful grinding stomach and gas, I started my Oz journey of 4 weeks of .025 and have been on .50 for 4 weeks when the burps really were getting aggressive. I almost was going to go off but started the yogurt after lunch and it WORKED!!! I have lost 13.50 lbs in two months so I am sticking with the program. Hope this works for you.

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?

I heard Ozempic can cause aging with wrinkles and skin sagging in the face. Has anyone had this happen?
