[corrected] SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists are associated with similar weight loss
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist licensed for type 2 diabetes treatment in the UK Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, itching) are the most common skin-related effects Generalised rash or urticaria may occur as part of hypersensitivity reactions Seek immediate medical attention for facial swelling, breathing difficulty, or widespread rapidly spreading rash Never discontinue Ozempic without medical guidance except in suspected severe allergic reactions Table of Contents Does Ozempic Cause Skin Rash
These symptoms include: an itchy red rash that includes hives or welts swelling in the throat or possibly other areas of the body wheezing, coughing, or difficulty breathing tightness of the chest difficulty swallowing vomiting diarrhea cramping of the stomach pale or red color of the face or body Stevens-Johnson syndrome Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rarer complication of sulfa allergy
This happens because semaglutide (the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy) isnt localised to act just on the fat we want to lose
If you are participating in a clinical trial and experience a suspected side effect, you should report it via the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme at yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk or through the Yellow Card app
