How Ozempic and Other Semaglutide Medications Affect the Body
Ozempic is the brand name for Novo Nordisk’s popular semaglutide medication. Other semaglutide medications include Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy and Rybelsus.
Semaglutide medications like Ozempic are prescription drugs used to manage type 2 diabetes and promote weight loss. While Ozempic and Rybelsus were originally formulated for diabetes treatment, Wegovy was approved specifically for weight management purposes.
Semaglutide medications can be administered in a couple of different formulations, as well as different dosages. Ozempic and Wegovy are injections, while Rybelsus is a tablet for oral consumption.
Ozempic and other semaglutide drugs make the body feel full, in part by slowing the digestion of food. However, slowing digestion too much can lead to negative effects, including:
- Gastroparesis, also known as stomach paralysis, in which delayed gastric emptying results in symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloating, and stomach pain
- Bowel or intestinal obstructions, medical emergencies in which the blockage prevents the passing of food, food waste, or stool through the digestive system, potentially leading to perforation, infection, and tissue death if left untreated
- Ileus, a condition in which the intestines fail to properly contract and pass waste despite no mechanical blockage or structural problem interfering with their function
- Chronic vomiting that can result in issues like esophageal injury and tooth loss, as well as severely impacting your quality of life and ability to work
- Malnutrition and related disorders due to being unable to digest food and obtain the nutrients your body needs for optimal functioning
Other conditions that have been linked to Ozempic use include pancreatic cancer, deep vein thrombosis, and intraoperative pulmonary aspiration.
The adverse effects of taking Ozempic and other semaglutide medications can require hospitalization, surgical treatments, and other medical interventions. With these interventions come high costs and significant pain and suffering.
