What is Ozempic?
Ozempic (semaglutide) is an FDA-approved, once-weekly GLP-1 injection for adults with type 2 diabetes, used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar.
Is Ozempic approved for weight loss?
Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes. Its active ingredient, semaglutide, is FDA-approved for weight management under the brand name Wegovy®. A licensed provider reviews your health history and goals to recommend the right option for you.
Ozempic vs. Wegovy: what is the difference?
Both contain semaglutide and are made by Novo Nordisk. Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes, with doses up to 2 mg once weekly; Wegovy is approved for weight management, with a usual maintenance dose of 2.4 mg once weekly.
How do I use Ozempic?
Inject one dose under the skin of your stomach, thigh or upper arm once a week, on the same day each week. You can take it at any time of day, with or without meals.
How does my dose change over time?
Treatment starts at 0.25 mg once weekly for 4 weeks, then 0.5 mg. If needed, your provider may increase the dose to 1 mg and then 2 mg once weekly, at least 4 weeks apart.
What if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as possible within 5 days after the missed dose. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose on your regular day.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain and constipation. Let your provider know if side effects are severe or do not go away.
Who should not use Ozempic?
Do not use Ozempic if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or if you have had a serious allergic reaction to semaglutide.
Can I use Ozempic if I am planning a pregnancy?
Stop using Ozempic if you become pregnant. If you are planning a pregnancy, stop at least 2 months before you try to conceive, because semaglutide stays in the body for a long time.
