Qué es Ozempic® y cómo funciona

Ozempic® is a GLP-1 receptor agonist from Novo Nordisk. It helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar is high, lowers glucagon, and slows stomach emptying. These actions support better glycemic control alongside diet and exercise. It is not insulin and is not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Some adults with established heart disease may also use Ozempic to reduce cardiovascular risk, per its approved labeling.

Ozempic is given once weekly on the same day each week. The pen allows dose adjustments your prescriber may use to reach targets. It is not approved for weight loss.

Para quién es Ozempic

Ozempic is indicated for adults with type 2 diabetes. It is commonly added when diet, exercise, and first-line medicines do not reach goals. See our Diabetes de tipo 2 resources for related therapies and supplies.

Who should not use Ozempic: anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, or with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2. Do not use during episodes of pancreatitis. It is not recommended in pregnancy. It is not approved for children. Discuss use if there is severe gastrointestinal disease, a history of gallbladder problems, or diabetic retinopathy.

Posología y utilización

Ozempic is injected under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, once weekly. Start at 0.25 mg once weekly for 4 weeks to help the stomach adjust. Then increase to 0.5 mg once weekly. If more blood sugar control is needed, many adults may increase to 1 mg once weekly. Some may advance to 2 mg once weekly as the labeled maximum dose. The 0.25 mg dose is for initiation and not for long-term blood sugar control.

Choose a consistent day of the week. If needed, the day can be changed as long as at least 48 hours have passed since the last dose. Follow the training in the patient guide included with each pen. For a deeper overview of weekly titration, see our editorial Guía de dosificación de Ozempic.

Fortalezas y formas

Ozempic is supplied as multi-dose prefilled pens containing semaglutide solution. Availability may vary by lot and region. Common presentations include:

• Ozempic 0.25 mg/0.5 mg pen for initiation and 0.5 mg maintenance
• Ozempic 1 mg injection pen for ongoing therapy
• Ozempic 2 mg/dose pen for maximum labeled dosing

These allow once-weekly injections and dose adjustments using the same device family. The active ingredient is semaglutide injection. Some prescribers may refer to a semaglutide injection 1 mg schedule. For more injectables in this class, browse Medicamentos inyectables no insulínicos.

Dosis omitida y momento oportuno

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible within 5 days after the missed dose, then resume the regular schedule. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take the next dose on the regular day. Do not take two doses on the same day. Keep doses at least 48 hours apart.

Almacenamiento y viaje

Before first use, store pens refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. After first use, store capped pens at room temperature up to 30°C (86°F) or in the refrigerator. Protect from heat and light. Discard a pen 56 days after first use, even if some medicine remains.

When traveling, carry the pen and needles in a protective case. Use cold packs to keep unopened pens cool. Keep the pen with you in a cabin bag, not in checked luggage. For practical tips, see Viaja con Ozempic. Orders ship with prompt, express, cold-chain shipping when needed.

Manipulación de bolígrafos y eliminación de objetos punzantes

Review the manufacturer instructions before first use. General steps include:

• Check the pen label and expiration date before each injection.
• Attach a new needle for every injection; never reuse needles.
• Perform the flow check before the first use of each new pen as directed.
• Dial the prescribed dose. Insert into the skin and press the button fully.
• Hold the pen in place per the guide to ensure the full dose is delivered.
• Rotate injection sites to reduce skin reactions.
• Remove the needle and dispose of it immediately in an FDA-cleared sharps container.
• No comparta bolígrafos ni agujas.

Beneficios

Ozempic helps lower A1C and fasting blood glucose when used with diet and exercise. It is taken once weekly, which many patients find convenient. It may reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, per labeling. Pens offer clear dose markings and a simple injection process. It is commonly combined with first-line oral agents for additional control.

Efectos secundarios y seguridad

• Náuseas o vómitos
• Diarrea o estreñimiento
• Dolor o hinchazón abdominal
• Disminución del apetito
• Indigestión o reflujo
• Dolor de cabeza o fatiga
• Reacciones en el punto de inyección

Serious risks are less common but important: potential thyroid C-cell tumors (boxed warning), pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney problems from dehydration, and serious allergic reactions. Rapid improvements in blood sugar can temporarily worsen diabetic retinopathy. Hypoglycemia may occur when Ozempic is used with insulin or sulfonylureas. Seek urgent care for signs of severe abdominal pain, neck mass, hoarseness, allergic reaction, or symptoms of low blood sugar.

Interacciones medicamentosas y precauciones

Using Ozempic with insulin or a sulfonylurea increases hypoglycemia risk; clinicians often adjust those medicines when needed. Ozempic slows gastric emptying, which may affect the absorption of some oral drugs. Extra monitoring may be appropriate for medicines with a narrow therapeutic index. Do not combine with other semaglutide products or with another GLP-1 receptor agonist. For a broad overview of common drug classes used in diabetes care, see Medicamentos comunes para la diabetes.

Qué esperar con el tiempo

Blood sugar improvements usually build over several weeks as the dose increases. Many side effects, such as nausea, lessen as the body adjusts. Some people reach goals at 0.5 mg, while others need 1 mg or 2 mg. Your clinician will individualize targets and may adjust other medicines over time.

Comparar con alternativas

Other GLP-1 receptor agonists can be considered if Ozempic is not suitable or available. Weekly Bolígrafos Trulicity (dulaglutide) offer once-weekly dosing with a single-use device. Daily Bolígrafos Victoza (liraglutide) provide a once-daily option in the same class. Another option, tirzepatide, is a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist that some prescribers consider for type 2 diabetes.
