Ozempic side effects
The most common side effects of Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach upset, and heartburn. Patients typically start on the lowest dose of the medication to allow the body to adjust, then gradually increase the dose with close monitoring for difficulty tolerating the medication. Consult your healthcare provider about combining Ozempic with other medications to minimize/avoid related side effects.
Rare but more serious potential side effects include gallbladder disease and pancreatitis. It is always important to monitor for side effects and discuss with your healthcare provider should they arise. Ozempic should not be used if you are pregnant or have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2A/2B syndrome.
