Ozempic
The original game-changer.
What is Ozempic?
Ozempic was the GLP-1 that brought this class into the cultural mainstream.
Approved for type 2 diabetes. Same molecule as Wegovy but capped at 2.0 mg.
Slow and steady wins.
Once-weekly subcutaneous injection.
Your provider may extend any dose level if you're tolerating well at a lower strength — there's no prize for moving up faster.
What to watch for, and what helps.
Most Ozempic side effects are GI-related and concentrated in the first weeks after each dose increase. Here's the playbook for managing each one.
Nausea
Common during titration.
Vomiting
Often improves after the first few doses.
Diarrhea
Hydration and walking after meals help.
