Have experienced some apparently common moderate side effects including intermittent nausea, bloating, gas, heartburn, constipation/diarrhea, dizziness. So far, benefits outweigh bothersome discomfort. Easy to use weekly."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Lower doses caused constipation, at the highest dose of 2, I experienced a full day of being sick to my stomach after injection. On these days, I ate saltine crackers and drank Coke Zero. The following days, I felt bloated and experienced burping and gas. However, I continued to lose weight, and my A1c was down to 7.6."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Have been on Ozempic for about 2-3 months at 0.25. Experienced/experiencing: nausea, heartburn, fatigue, light-headedness, constipation. Nausea has calmed down but still occurs. Heartburn has developed over the last month and is definitely not subsiding. Seems I am always tired. Sometimes getting up, I become light-headed and off balance. Constipation is quite prevalent even with eating high fiber fruit and vegetables, and I am doing my best to drink plenty of water, starting with hot lemon water and honey every morning. I do not know if I would recommend this drug or not. Everyone is different. Thank you."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I started Ozempic in January 2022. First week, I had extreme diarrhea with blood and mucus (always constipated before this). Endocrinologist told me he didn’t think it was Ozempic, but I went off it. Diarrhea, etc., continued. Ended up having to get a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. Endocrinologist wanted to put me back on Ozempic. We figured the diarrhea, etc., was just the colitis. Started it back up five weeks ago. No diarrhea, back to constipation, nauseous every day, extreme fatigue. Also now diagnosed with Retinal Vasculitis. But my inflammatory markers are high. Not sure if this all started because of Ozempic. Just increased to 0.5 mg today, so we will see. It just seems like an odd coincidence. No appetite, but no weight loss either. Hair loss, but could be from colitis."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I need help to decide if Ozempic is good for me. The side effects scare me: nausea, vomiting, constipation, and exhaustion. Yikes! I really need the weight loss, though. I really want to try it. I'm curious if insurance will cover it."

For Type 2 Diabetes "After taking Ozempic for 5 months, my A1c numbers dropped significantly. Weight loss has been a benefit, losing 32 pounds in that same time period. I only moved up to the 1 mg dose due to the side effects. Side effects that I experience are nausea-especially the day after taking the shot-and constipation. It has worked as intended."
