Ozempic (Semaglutide) - Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interactions, Warning
Ozempic (Semaglutide) is a prescription medication primarily used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is also prescribed to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events and can aid in weight loss. As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, Ozempic stimulates insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon release, and slows gastric emptying. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues, hypoglycemia, and injection site reactions, while serious side effects may involve pancreatitis, kidney problems, thyroid tumors, and allergic reactions. Dosage typically starts at 0.25 mg once weekly and can be increased based on response, with administration via subcutaneous injection. Ozempic can interact with other diabetes medications, affecting blood sugar levels and oral medication absorption. Warnings include potential risks for patients with a history of thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, or renal impairment, and it is not recommended for use during pregnancy and lactation.
