Ozempic (Semaglutide) is not primarily a weight-loss drug. Its main purpose is to improve blood glucose control in diabetes. It is approved by Health Canada as a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. Although people with diabetes do report losing weight when on Ozempic, it is not prescribed for weight loss. Instead, Wegovy or Saxenda might help you shed some pounds, but it is still important to consult a doctor before taking them.

Although Ozempic is safe when taken according to the doctor’s prescription, during the first few weeks, you can expect to experience the following symptoms: 

• Nausea or vomiting
• Stomach pain 
• Diarrhea/Constipation
• Loss of appetite

These side effects will subside as your body adjusts to the medication. To minimize discomfort, your doctor will usually start you on a low dose of 0.25 mg and gradually increase it only if needed.

In type 2 diabetes, your body doesn’t use insulin well, so blood sugar stays high. Ozempic® acts like a natural gut hormone (GLP-1), telling your pancreas to release more insulin when needed, slowing how fast food leaves your stomach to prevent spikes, and curbing your appetite. Together, these actions help lower blood sugar and support weight control.

Ozempic comes as a pre-filled injectable pen. You’ll have to administer the injection under your skin once a week. Common injection sites are the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Your online Ozempic doctor will instruct you on how to use the pen correctly. The typical starting dose is 0.25 mg once weekly for the first month, which is then increased to 0.5 mg once weekly. Over time, the dose can be further adjusted if needed. 

Ozempic is generally a long-term treatment for type 2 diabetes. There is no fixed duration. Many patients stay on it for years as long as it’s controlling their blood sugar well and not causing significant side effects. Stopping Ozempic abruptly can cause your blood sugars to rise again. If you ever wish to discontinue or take a break consult your doctor to plan a safe transition. 

If you forget to take your weekly Ozempic dose, the action to take depends on how long it’s been since the missed dose:

• If you’re within 5 days of the missed dose: Take your dose as soon as you remember. For example, if your usual injection day is Tuesday and you remember on Thursday, go ahead and inject it. Then continue with your next dose on your regular scheduled day the following week.
• If it’s been more than 5 days: Skip the missed dose entirely. Wait and take your next dose on your normal day. Do not double up doses or inject more to make up for the missed one.

In case of any confusion, you can always visit our virtual clinic to take follow-ups. 

Ozempic is not the first line of treatment for type 2 diabetes. The first line of treatment usually involves:

• Lifestyle modification
• Metformin – a widely used oral tablet that helps lower glucose production in the liver
• SGLT2 inhibitors – such as Jardiance, Farxiga, or Invokana, which help the body get rid of extra sugar through urine
• Other GLP-1 receptor agonists, like Trulicity or Rybelsus, which work similarly to Ozempic but may be taken orally or as once-weekly injections

Ozempic is usually prescribed later if:

• Your blood sugar (A1C) stays high despite trying other medications
• You need additional support with weight management as part of your diabetes care
• You have certain heart or kidney conditions, for which Ozempic has shown added benefits
