User Reviews for Ozempic subcutaneous

I take for diabetes So expensive And I feel so nauseated Yep..after 4 months...

I have used drugs like Ozempic (I use Trulicity) for my Type 2 diabetes. Weight loss started almost immediately, and I lost 10 pounds the first month. The main side-effects are pretty noticeable heartburn. Not fun to experience! Also, I have learned to avoid fatty foods. I love prime rib, but if I eat it now, will get an immediate feeling of nausea and heartburn. Same with fried foods. Other than those minor inconveniences, it has kept my A1C below 7, which is my target, and my weight is back to my baseball-playing days! Good luck to you if you are trying this for weight loss!Read More Read Less

It works to bring numbers down but side effects to me are not worth it. I rarely get headaches but within 12 hours have massive headache that lasts a day, very gassy, nausea to point of vomiting, acid reflux, indigestion, tired and severe diarrhea for 12 hours. Basically take Saturday evening and do nothing for Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. NOTE..I rarely get side effects from medications so these are way too many for me..will not take again.

It makes me very sick to my stomach with excessive burping and some gas. I often feel like throwing up and have when I started on the 1mg dose. I am extremely afraid of the most noted side effects.

Type 2, overweight and physically challenged, 80 and still farm as much as possible. Don't eat "junk" food, no processed, grow and raise most of our own and cook homemade meals. Ozempic is made to slow down the digestive system and make you feel full and most doctors don't realize that doesn't work for everyone it changes the G.I.'s natural behavior. I started small doses had some side effects was put on full dose and the third week I had most of the side effects this is the 5th day and I've eaten a little more but my body is trying to "reprogram" it's self from days of diarrhea, vomiting. I've done pretty good controlling my diabetes so I won't be using this again .Read More Read Less

Nausea was so bad in beginning. Has totally changed my taste buds. I don’t want things I use to love. Biggest complaint is I am losing my natural curl!!!

There was initial nausea and diarrhea the first dose. After that, all went well. Started end of February, by beginning of August, down 40lbs.

My husband was prescribed Ozempic for Type 2 diabetes. We were told what a great medication it is, and were excited to try it. My husband took the first .25 dose and for the next two weeks he had vomiting and diarrhea. The vomiting has subsided, but four weeks later, he still has diarrhea and nausea DAILY. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS BEFORE YOU TAKE THIS MEDICATION, IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

so far so good no side effects

My husband had a liver transplant and experienced some issues with steroid induced diabetes. After a few months they wanted to wean him off of the insulin and talked to us about Ozempic and what an amazing drug it is. We were very excited about it. He took the first .25 shot on a Wednesday afternoon at 5 p.m. and by Friday morning he had vomiting and diarrhea. There was food that he ate on Wednesday that was coming up Friday. He was very ill for 2 solid weeks. We took him to the emergency room and they hydrated him with IV fluids and also did CT scan of abdomen, blood work, etc., and they found nothing, confirming that the only thing different was the Ozempic. They found nothing! He had one day that was good, then again with the diarrhea for another week. Four weeks and counting with symptoms. Read More Read Less

My Doctor started me out at .25 for four weeks then up to .50 every thing is going OK. But some thing I noticed was my back was not as sore. As it had been for 9 years. And cut my pain medication in half.. I don't know why but I'll take the relief. Go to see my doctor in 8 weeks . Some web sites say it can help with back pain. Hoping to get off all pain medication..

PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SIDE EFFECTS WARNINGS... THIS MEDICATION SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN BY EVERYONE

I started with the .25 dose for four weeks and am now on my third week at .5. In that time span I have lost 15 pounds. The first couple of weeks I did get mild nausea but nothing to severe. It does seem to help control my appetite as I feel full after eating about half of what I used to at meals. My concern is that my blood sugar numbers are out of whack. I was on metformin and glipizide and my morning reading was usually between 120 and 140 and my A1c was at 6.8. My doctor took me off the glipizide and now my numbers have ranged from 108 to 211 in the morning. I have seen at least one review that said it can take up to 8-10 weeks for ozempic to start to control blood sugar. I am wondering if anyone else has found this to be true.Read More Read Less

It was awful! Yes, it usually normalizes my husband's glucose but he experienced many times of fainting or passed out! I've been telling his primary care but didn't believe me huhu so I decided that my husband should stop it and after three months he stopped fainting! Be careful have a second opinion!

Took injection, .25 for four weeks. Experienced horrible side effects of nausea, constipation, stomach pain, blurriness, bloating, burping, indigestion. No vomiting. Very disappointed I was given this drug. Be very aware of these severe side effects.

Only 1 injection, definitely has affected my appetite and I have had episodes of not feeling well but blood sugar and blood pressure are fine. Feel fatigued, malaise. Anyone else had this response?

After 5 weeks on the .25 dose I went on to the .5 does. Immediately had severe joint pains in both hands and knees. It was so bad that it took pain pills to get through the day. I tried to wait it out and see if my body adjusted but it was too debilitating. I returned to my doctor and she took me off ozempic. I am on predisone for a week trying to calm down my joints and then will try mounjaro if I can get it. There is still a shortage of mounjaro out there even though my insurance covered most of it. I didn't get to a high enough dosage using Ozempic to see if it even had an effect on my blood sugars. Read More Read Less

Lost a bunch of weight. Sick the entire 14 weeks on it, .25. Nauseau, constipation then explosive diarrhea. Increased heart rate, labored breathing, acid reflux that aggravated my gastritis. All in all, POISON.

Ben on one pic 2 months. I’ve lost 19 lbs. I started with .25 for one month. It wasn’t enough. Up to .5. I do get constipated but no nausea, vomiting etc. the day after injection I feel very tired but since I am retired I deal with it. It’s been good. I do still get hungry sometimes. I have changed my diet. I’m not eating processed foods I am cutting down on my carbs. Trying to eat only meat and vegetables but that’s almost impossible. I think if it doesn’t work for you maybe it’s your diet. I’m staying on it for now. I will check my A1c next week . All in all I feel 100 percent better than when I was 20 lbs heavier.Read More Read Less

Started with the .25 dose and experienced constant nausea for four weeks. Worked my way through that and stated the .5 dose injection. Into the first week of that dose I woke up with severe pain in both my hands. It felt like my fingers were going to explode. Pain spreading across my shoulder blades and severe pain in both of my knees. I can not even wring out a wash cloth without being in severe pain. I have tried everything to relieve the pain, ice, heat, and braces, nothing helps. I am taking everything I can get my hands on for the pain but I will not take my next dose if this doesn't let up.
