Taking Ozempic? What To Avoid, Who Shouldn’t Take It, Factors That Worsen Side Effects & Cancer

Ozempic (also known as Semaglutide, Wegovy and Rybelsus) is a medication used to treat Type 2 diabetes and has been recently being used for weight loss purposes. It is a GLP-1 agonist, meaning that it binds to GLP-1 receptors to cause decreased gastric emptying, satiety (feeling full), and improved insulin release from the pancreas. However, use of these medications can cause unwanted side effects including nausea, vomiting and hypoglycemia (a low blood glucose level). Certain ways of taking the medications, along with taking other herbal medications or prescription medications while taking Ozempic/Semaglutide, can all increase the risk of side effects. In this lesson, we discuss important information and considerations for using Ozempic, including what interacts with it, patients who shouldn’t use it, and ways to reduce risk.
