Ozempic is a medication that helps people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar levels. It also reduces the risk of heart problems. You take it as an injection once a week, usually in your stomach, thigh, or upper arm.
Start with a low dose of Ozempic to allow your body to adjust gradually. Take the medication with food to minimize stomach irritation. Stay hydrated by drinking small sips of water throughout the day.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals instead of large ones. Avoid greasy, spicy, and very sweet foods that can worsen nausea. Try ginger or ginger-based drinks to help relieve nausea.
Consider over-the-counter anti-nausea medications like bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) or dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) if needed. Consult your doctor if nausea persists or is accompanied by other symptoms.
