Short-term side effects of Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, dizziness, and constipation. These usually go away after a few hours, but Ozempic treatment isn’t one-and-done. Patients are generally prescribed Ozempic for several months.
Studies have shown that glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonists can cause gastroparesis or stomach paralysis. This is an untreatable condition that causes chronic abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, and more. Patients can also develop bowel obstruction and a form of vision loss called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). These serious health risks are costly to treat and can heavily affect the quality of life.
