Ozempic 2mg

How is this medication used?

Inject once weekly under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, on the same day each week, with or without meals. The 2mg dose is reached by gradually increasing from lower doses as directed by your doctor. Rotate injection sites with each dose.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite, which are often most noticeable when the dose increases. Rare but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, and worsening diabetic retinopathy; a boxed warning notes thyroid C-cell tumors seen in animal studies.

What are the potential interactions?

Ozempic may increase the risk of low blood sugar when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas, so those doses may need adjusting. Because it slows stomach emptying, it can affect the absorption of some oral medications. Tell your doctor about all medications you take.
