Ozempic Pill carries a boxed warning about possible thyroid C-cell tumors based on animal studies. It should not be used by people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, or by people with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2. It should also not be used by anyone who has had a serious allergic reaction to semaglutide or any ingredient in the medication.
Other serious risks include pancreatitis, diabetic retinopathy complications, low blood sugar when used with insulin or sulfonylureas, kidney injury related to dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea, severe gastrointestinal reactions, serious allergic reactions, gallbladder problems, and possible pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia or deep sedation. Patients should tell their healthcare provider about pancreas problems, kidney problems, vision problems related to diabetes, severe stomach-emptying problems, pregnancy plans, breastfeeding plans, and upcoming surgeries or procedures.
