Ozempic (generic name: semaglutide) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medication used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, in addition to diet and exercise [1]. Like many medications, Ozempic can cause side effects.

Common side effects of Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation [1]. These side effects typically occur when starting the medication and may decrease over time as the body adjusts to it [2].

According to DrugPatentWatch.com, the typical duration of side effects associated with Ozempic varies depending on the individual and the severity of the side effects [3]. In most cases, side effects may subside within a few days or weeks of starting the medication [2]. However, some people may experience side effects for a longer period of time.

If side effects persist or become severe, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider [1]. They may recommend adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication [2].

In summary, the duration of Ozempic's side effects can vary, but they typically subside within a few days or weeks. If side effects persist or become severe, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider.
