Active ingredients

Ozempic® contains semaglutide, a prescription GLP-1 receptor agonist. Semaglutide works by activating GLP-1 receptors to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It supports glucose regulation by increasing insulin release when blood sugar is high, reducing glucagon when appropriate, and slowing gastric emptying, which can reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes. Some people may also experience appetite-related effects while taking Ozempic®.

How to take

Ozempic® is taken once weekly, on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without food. It is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) using the Ozempic® pen. 

Where to inject: abdomen (stomach area), thigh, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites each week and avoid injecting into areas that are tender, bruised, red, or hard. 

If you miss a dose, follow the instructions in the Ozempic® Medication Guide and your clinician’s guidance. Do not take extra doses unless instructed by a licensed clinician. 

Always use Ozempic® exactly as prescribed and keep regular follow-ups so your clinician can monitor response, side effects, and adjust dosing if needed.

Potential side effects

Like many prescription medications, Ozempic® can cause side effects. The most commonly reported include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation—especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. Your clinician may recommend a gradual dose escalation to improve tolerability. 

Contact a clinician promptly if side effects are severe, persistent, or unusual.
