Ozempic Shot is a noninsulin medicine used for adults with type 2 diabetes to improve blood sugar levels along with diet and exercise. It is injected once a week under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Ozempic Shot works by mimicking a hormone that regulates digestion and appetite, causing one to feel full and eat fewer calories. It can also aid in weight loss and has been shown to be effective in weight loss programs. The full effects of the medication can take 8 weeks or longer to be seen. Possible side effects include stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, and hypoglycemia. Ozempic Shot is not recommended for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
