User Reviews for Ozempic (semaglutide)

Very minimal side effects compared to Trulicity. I was on Trulicity for a year with the most awful digestive side effects including days and days of not being able to eat, constant pain and nausea. Ozempic is A TOTALLY different experience. I'm on month 3.The injections are painless and easy. I've had next to no side effects until just the last few days and I don't even know if it's the Ozempic that's causing them. I have gastroparesis for years and it's comes and goes at times. It's been really annoying this past week and I hope it is unrelated to the Ozempic as we are moving me up to the higher dose next week. I cannot say if I've lost any weight but that's ok bc I lost so much with Trulicity and it's been delightful to actually be able to eat. The best part is, my A1C is 5.0 and my average daily blood sugar is around 95.Read More Read Less

After injecting myself for 18 months, about 11 months on the 1mg doze i have only lost 2 Lbs! surely this cannot be right, i also attend slimming world , any ideas people?

I take it for diabetes, but it has also helped me lose a lot of weight. Can cause constipation, so I take a stool softener daily.

Type 2 diabetic To date since June 2023 lost 53 lbs No adverse effects I’m 76 and tons of energy as of now 165 lbs. it works because you don’t have hunger cravings you eat normally

Treatment worked excellent for two years, controlling my diabetes and weight until the shortage occurred. Now the product doesn't seem to have the same effect either being diluted or substitute ingredients , which would not surprise me. Short cuts always in the pharmaceutical industry

It brought my A1c to6.8 all labs back to normal limits and dropped 15lbs in 6 wks. Couldn't tolerate side effects was very nauseated all the time started having very bad anxiety attacks so I asked my pharmacist and he told me that was one of the serious side effects of ozempic I stopped it at once and with in 6 months I was back to my normal self. Will not take it again.

Took for 8 months and now just diagnosed with thyroid cancer, my family has no history of thyroid cancer.

I hadn't had normal blood glocose range for ten years. 8 weeks in and my A1C went from 8.9 to 7 weight down 25. pounds It makes it easy to diet. I love this.

Pen didn’t work. Costs too much. Manufacture refused to make good on product

It work good really good for me I went from an A1C of 8.3 down to 6.5 but changed to something different because of all the off label use for weight loss making it very difficult to get. There is people that need the medication for their diabetic needs stop the off label use

I have diabetes and I am not using Ozempic to lose weight. I am 5'2 and weigh 170 pounds so of course I am hoping to shed some pounds. I have been using Ozempic a week and a half and I have had absolutely no negative symptoms. Since I am not dieting, I am eating what I want without getting sick. My urge to over-eat is gone along with my appetite and hunger. So far so good I've lost 3 pounds......

A1C has stayed 6-7 range however, my appetite changed from gorging to just a desire for a taste of food and not over consumption. Lost of 64-lbs over 1-year. Early beginning use had some side effects loose or runny stool on and off… however this may not be fully contributing to the medication too.

First I started on trulicity. It became unavailable so my doctor switched me to ozempic. I have have been taking it for 4 wks. Since starting it I have had 3 episodes with nausea, then I get awful flush feeling and start sweating. My skin gets severely red and starts to itch. The itching is so severe I have had to take an allergy pill. This last for about 3 hours. I feel this is a reaction but it doesn't happen within the first few days of the injection. Today it happened and its day 6. Has this happened to anyone/Read More Read Less

Used .25 and .50 and lost 25 pounds. My doctor prescribed 1 mg months ago and it’s not available at Walgreens. They said that they rarely get that dosage in. 2 mg is available but not 1. I have to take 1 mg for 4 weeks before moving on to 2mg like the doctor wants. It makes me angry that they still advertise but can’t supply.

I have been on Ozempic for 22 months, lost 60 bs in 10 months, and haven’t lost a pound since then. I have been off of it for the past 2 months, do to shortage of the product. The past week I have been suffering with horrible indigestion and nothing has helped. Never suffered from any side affects while on Ozempic. Would be interested if any others are now having side affects after stopping. I haven’t gained any weight back

Since I started using OZEMPIC, I can hardly believe my transformation myself! I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2019. In 2022 I weighed 260 pounds. Today, since starting OZEMPIC in the summer, I weigh 171. I've lost 89 pounds! My A1C went down from 6.8 to 5.8 in only 6 months! I have been able to change my life without surgery, I can move around better, have less pain, and finally feel like I can get back to the me I want to be! With the support of OZEMPIC's website, I changed my eating habits, started exercising more, I have more energy, and I have had such a huge weight lifted off me....LITERALLY!!! (Yes, I was literally in junior high, and high school in the late 80's to early 90's! Hahaha!) I've gone from size 16 down to a size 11 now. OZEMPIC is a life altering lifestyle change I wish for everyone struggling with diabetes, and/or weight issues to be able to have access to in the future! We could reverse obesity in the world thanks to OZEMPIC!Read More Read Less

I have been on Ozempic for seven weeks and it’s been a complete nightmare. I feel sick for 4-5 days with stomach pain, headaches, dry mouth, acid reflux, gas, fatigue/ nausea. Food taste is different and even my coffee taste different. I am at 173lbs from 185lbs so a loss of 12lbs.

I am a 64-year-old male who has struggled with minor obesity for many years. I tried every diet possible and worked out regularly with no success. I have been on Ozempic now for 11 months and it is truly miraculous. I have lost 30 pounds and feel amazing. I am so very grateful that I was around to be able to experience this. There is the occasional upset stomach, but it is a very small price to pay to accomplish my goal with great success. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Thank you so much. Read More Read Less

Chemical Anorexia. Yes, I lost weight, but cons outweigh the pros. Have lost extreme muscle mass, 1/3 of my hair due to undernourishment, feeling poorly 24/7, no energy, literally had to hold onto something to not black out when standing. Worst thing I have ever done to my body. Think twice!!

My a1c has gone from 6.5 to 5.7. I’ve only been taking it for 8 months
