Ozempic (semaglutide) is generally well-tolerated, but like all medications, it can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation, particularly when starting treatment. These symptoms often improve over time as the body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), kidney problems, and pancreatitis.
