Ozempic 1mg Injection
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Ozempic 1mg Injection is a once-weekly semaglutide injection used in adults with type 2 diabetes to improve blood sugar levels, reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death, and lower the risk of kidney disease progression in those with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. It works by helping the body release insulin when blood sugar levels are high, slowing digestion, reducing appetite, and lowering sugar released by the liver. These actions help keep blood sugar more stable throughout the day.
Ozempic 1mg Injection is administered as a once-weekly injection. It is generally injected under the skin in your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Get the injection on the same day each week, at a similar time, to maintain consistent levels in your body. Along with the treatment, maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly for maximum benefits.
The most common side effects of Ozempic 1mg Injection include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. These symptoms often occur during the initial stage; however, they usually improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Eating smaller meals or avoiding heavy, greasy foods may help with symptoms like nausea or upset stomach. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, consult your doctor for advice.
Before starting Ozempic 1mg Injection, inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, particularly a history of pancreatitis, thyroid cancer, or severe gastrointestinal problems. This medicine is not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or those with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on treatment with Ozempic 1mg Injection, as it can interfere with blood sugar control and increase the risk of side effects. Let your doctor also know about all the medicines and supplements before taking Ozempic 1mg Injection, as they may interact with the medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should discuss the risks and benefits of this medicine with their doctor, as it may cause harmful effects on the developing baby.
