Ozempic Injection 1mg

• Ozempic (Semaglutide) is a once-weekly injection designed for improving blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
• It's also used to lower the risk of major cardiovascular events (such as stroke or heart attack) and death in adults with type 2 diabetes who have heart disease.
• Ozempic should be part of a diabetes management plan that includes diet and exercise.
• It's important to note that Ozempic is not intended for use in type 1 diabetes mellitus, and it is not FDA approved for weight loss.

How Does  Injection Ozempic Work?

• Ozempic falls into a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists or incretin mimetics.
• It functions by binding to GLP-1 receptors, which has several effects:
• Stimulating insulin release from the pancreas when necessary.
• Reducing sugar release from the liver.
• Slowing down the emptying of the stomach.
• Lowering A1C and blood sugar levels.
• Potentially reducing appetite.

Warnings:

• Contact your doctor immediately if you notice signs of a thyroid tumor, such as swelling or a lump in your neck, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, or shortness of breath.
• Ozempic should not be used if you have multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (tumors in your glands) or a personal/family history of medullary thyroid cancer.

Before Taking Injection Ozempic 1 mg :

• Do not use Ozempic if you are allergic to semaglutide or any other ingredients in the medication.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach or intestinal disorders, pancreatitis, kidney disease, or eye problems caused by diabetes (retinopathy).
• Ozempic was associated with thyroid tumors or thyroid cancer in animal studies; consult your doctor about your risk.
• If you plan to become pregnant, stop using Ozempic at least 2 months before trying to conceive.

How to Use Ozempic:

• Use Ozempic precisely as prescribed by your doctor.
• Administered as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) once a week, at any time of the day, with or without food.
• The injection site is typically the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, and it should not be injected into the same spot two times in a row.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible within 5 days. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule.
• Do not use different brands of semaglutide (Wegovy or Rybelsus) simultaneously.
• Monitor your blood sugar levels as they can be affected by various factors, including stress, illness, surgery, exercise, alcohol consumption, or skipping meals.

What to Avoid While Using Ozempic:

• Never share your Ozempic injection pen, even if you change the needle, as this can transmit infections or diseases.

Common Side Effects of Ozempic:

• Seek emergency medical help if you experience signs of an allergic reaction (hives, itching, dizziness, fast heartbeats, difficulty breathing, facial swelling).
• Ozempic may cause other serious side effects, including changes in vision, mood swings, heart palpitations, light-headedness, thyroid tumor symptoms, pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, low blood sugar, kidney problems, or stomach flu symptoms.
• Common side effects may include low blood sugar, upset stomach, heartburn, burping, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, runny nose, sore throat, headache, dizziness, and tiredness.
