Ozempic Overview
The prescription medication Ozempic is used to treat Type 2 diabetes. It contains semaglutide, which belongs to the class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. These medications assist individuals with type 2 diabetes in managing their blood sugar levels.
People also began taking Ozempic for weight loss. By the end of 2021, the FDA had received over 10,000 reports of adverse effects related to semaglutide, including numerous significant adverse events. Gallbladder and gastrointestinal conditions were linked to several of these side effects.
