Based on the information provided, I cannot directly determine if Ozempic has caused changes in your appetite, as I do not have personalized data or medical history. However, I can share some general information about Ozempic and its potential side effects.
Ozempic (generic name: semaglutide) is a medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, in combination with diet and exercise. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists [1].
GLP-1 receptor agonists can cause several side effects, one of which is appetite changes. According to the drug's prescribing information, nausea is a common side effect of Ozempic, which might indirectly influence appetite [2]. When experiencing nausea, some people may eat less or feel less hungry, leading to a temporary decrease in appetite.
It is important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice on medication side effects. If you have concerns about your appetite while taking Ozempic, it would be best to discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist.
