Ozempic® contains the active substance semaglutide. It helps your body reduce your blood sugar level
only when blood sugar is too high and can help prevent heart disease.
Ozempic® is used:
• on its own – if your blood sugar is not controlled well enough by diet and exercise alone, and
you cannot use metformin (another diabetes medicine) or
• with other medicines for diabetes – when they are not enough to control your blood sugar levels.
These other medicines may include: oral antidiabetics (such as metformin, thiazolidinediones,
sulfonylureas, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor) or insulin.
It is important that you continue with your diet and exercise plan as told by your doctor, pharmacist or
nurse.
