@pmcallister. i was on Ozempic for about 3-4 months. Ozempic dosage is 0.25mg for 4 weeks at one shot a week. then you increase to 0.5mg shots. there are NO higher dosages. you stay on that dosage as to keep your glucose under control.
NOW with ALL that said. i hope you have NEVER had Pancreatitis. which is very bad. i did. caused by my Gallbladder going bad and damaging part of my pancreas. plus i had Gastroparesis. which is a slowing down of the function of the stomach.
NOW with taking Ozempic and having said issues it was very bad. i ended up in the hospital for a week to have my stomach pumped out. and then given time to heal. i was taken off of Ozempic. which was a bad med to be on when you have these said medical issues. a bad combination. the only other diabetic med i was and still am on is Jardiance 10 mg. per day. @danny5

I must be very lucky. Almost 15 yrs ago I did have pancreatic and gall bladder issues. However it was complications due to a hiatus surgery, Soon after gall bladder was removed, surgery on pancreas Same time appendix burst and was removed, Since then have been careful eating fatty and spicy food. Since talking ozempic have not had any issues. Even DR at last week's visit seemed surprised but happy with my results. I start ,5 this week, keeping fingers crossed. However in past had to stop Jardiance, did not agree with my stomach, Thank you and I hope you soon feel better.

I was on Ozempic and it was terrible. Constant vomiting, gastroaresis, but my endocrinologist said to look for symptoms on the left. Not the left on my right. Was basically in .05 by was given 1. It has caused a lot of issues but she wouldn’t change. I went in thinking I had a gallstone. I know that there are good benefits for the drug, but there is a lot of problems coming p from this medicine.
