What are the common side effects of Ozempic?

Dear Reader,

Some people may notice certain side effects after starting Ozempic, especially during the early weeks while the body adjusts. Digestive symptoms are among the most commonly reported side effects. These can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach discomfort, bloating, constipation, or indigestion. Some individuals may also experience reduced appetite, tiredness, headache, or mild dizziness. In many cases, these symptoms tend to appear at the beginning and may gradually lessen as the body becomes accustomed to the medicine, although experiences can vary from person to person.

Less commonly, people may notice symptoms such as reflux, gas, or stomach pain. When Ozempic is used along with certain other diabetes medicines, some individuals may also experience low blood sugar symptoms such as sweating, shakiness, weakness, or difficulty concentrating. If you are planning to continue using Ozempic but are concerned about possible side effects, it is a good idea to discuss your experience with your doctor. They can review your symptoms, monitor your progress, and guide you on whether any adjustments or further evaluation may be needed.

Wishing you good health.
