Understanding Ozempic

‍

Ozempic is manufactured by Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceutical company. At Juniper Japan, we source our medications from authorized pharmaceutical distributors in Japan.

‍

Ozempic contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that primarily helps manage type 2 diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels.

‍

It mimics the effects of the GLP-1 hormone, promoting increased insulin secretion, reduced glucagon levels, and slower gastric emptying, all of which contribute to improved blood sugar control.

‍

Potential Benefits of Ozempic (Semaglutide)

‍

Semaglutide is effective for weight loss, with a 2021 UK study showing participants losing an average of 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks compared to 2.4% with a placebo.

‍

Additional U.S. trials confirm weight loss of up to 12.3kg within six months, supported by recent research.

‍

Beyond weight loss, semaglutide can improve metabolic health by lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes, as evidenced by studies where 87.3% of participants achieved at least 5% weight loss.

‍

It also enhances quality of life, with follow-up studies reporting better physical functioning, mental health, and emotional well-being, along with transformative improvements in body image and social interactions.

‍

Potential Risks of Ozempic (Semaglutide)

‍

Semaglutide, while effective, may cause side effects, with gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation being the most common.

‍

In a U.S. clinical trial, 48.6% of participants experienced such symptoms, most of which were mild to moderate and resolved over time.

‍

Fatigue affected 6.3% of participants, while 2.9% discontinued use due to intolerable side effects.

‍

Rare but severe risks include gallbladder issues (2.6%), pancreatitis (0.2%), and psychiatric events such as depression or anxiety, reported in a 2024 European study.

‍

Although rare, these events are monitored closely, with the FDA finding no direct causal link to suicidal thoughts.

‍

While semaglutide is generally safe, individual tolerances vary. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance and monitoring during treatment.

‍

‍

Access to Ozempic in Japan

‍

Ozempic and other GLP-1 receptor agonists are available only by prescription in Japan. These medications must be prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional after a medical consultation.

‍

While widely used, it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider to ensure proper use and to understand potential side effects.

‍

Is Ozempic approved for type 2 diabetes treatment in Japan?

‍

In Japan, Ozempic is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes to help regulate blood sugar levels. GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Ozempic and Rybelsus, are typically considered third-line therapies for managing type 2 diabetes.

‍

They are prescribed when patients cannot achieve adequate blood sugar control through initial treatments, which generally start with diet and exercise, followed by oral medications like metformin or sulfonylureas. If these approaches are insufficient, GLP-1 receptor agonists may be introduced.

‍

Is Ozempic approved for weight loss treatment in Japan?

‍

In Japan, Ozempic and Rybelsus is not approved for weight loss treatment. However, Wegovy was approved for weight loss in March 2023 and added to the national health insurance price list in November 2023. Wegovy contains the same active ingredient of semaglutide as Ozempic and Rybelsus.

‍

Insurance coverage is limited to individuals with specific health conditions, such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, or type 2 diabetes, who have not achieved adequate results through diet and exercise.

‍

‍

How to Use Ozempic

‍

Ozempic is prescribed as a once-weekly injection, with the dosing gradually increased over time.

‍

It starts at 0.25 mg per week for the first four weeks, allowing your body to adjust to the medication and minimizing potential side effects like nausea.

‍

After four weeks, the dose is increased to 0.5 mg per week, which is the standard maintenance dose.

‍

If additional weight loss or blood sugar control is needed, the dose may be further increased to 1.0 mg or even 2.0 mg per week, depending on your doctor’s recommendation.

‍

Ozempic is injected into the subcutaneous (under the skin) fatty tissue in one of the following areas:

‍

1. Abdomen: Avoid injecting within 2 inches of the navel.
2. Thighs: Use the front of the thigh for easy access.
3. Upper Arm: Inject into the outer area of the arm.

‍

It’s important to rotate injection sites each week to avoid irritation or discomfort.

‍

Ozempic pens are prefilled and come with a step-by-step guide for safe use.

‍

The injection process is simple and the self-injection needle, which is about 0.23mm in thickness and 4mm in length, causes little to no pain.

‍

‍

How to Manage Common Side Effects of Ozempic

‍

The most common side effects of Ozempic include nausea (often experienced during the initial weeks of treatment but typically subsiding over time), vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort or bloating.

‍

These side effects can often be managed with a few simple strategies.

‍

Starting with the lowest dose (0.25 mg per week) as prescribed helps your body adjust gradually, minimizing the intensity of side effects. It’s also essential to take Ozempic as directed, injecting it on the same day each week to maintain consistency.

‍

Eating smaller, low-fat meals and avoiding rich or greasy foods can significantly reduce nausea and other gastrointestinal discomforts, while staying hydrated helps prevent dehydration, particularly if you experience vomiting or diarrhea.

‍

To further ease nausea and indigestion, try waiting at least 30 minutes to an hour after eating before lying down. If symptoms persist, your doctor may suggest over-the-counter or prescription anti-nausea medications.

‍

It’s important to monitor your body’s reaction closely. If side effects become severe or unmanageable, consult your healthcare provider.

‍

‍

Who Should Avoid Taking Ozempic?

‍

Generally, Ozempic is not prescribed to individuals with the following conditions or situations:

‍

Personal or Family History of Certain Thyroid Tumors: Individuals with a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) are advised not to take Ozempic due to potential risks of thyroid tumors.

‍

Pancreatitis: Individuals with a history of pancreatitis or those currently experiencing inflammation of the pancreas should avoid Ozempic.

‍

Gallbladder Disorders: Individuals with active or recent gallbladder disease, including gallstones, may not be eligible due to the increased risk of gallbladder-related issues.

‍

Severe Gastrointestinal Disorders: Conditions such as gastroparesis or severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be exacerbated by Ozempic, making it unsuitable.

‍

Kidney or Liver Disease: Individuals with severe kidney impairment or advanced liver disease may not tolerate Ozempic safely.

‍

Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: Ozempic is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as it may harm the baby.

‍

Planned Pregnancy: Individuals actively planning to become pregnant should avoid Ozempic, as its effects on fetal development are not fully understood.

‍

Allergy to Semaglutide or Ingredients in Ozempic: Individuals with a known allergy to semaglutide or any of the inactive ingredients in Ozempic should not use it.

‍

Concurrent Medications: Individuals taking medications such as insulin or sulfonylureas need close monitoring due to the increased risk of severe hypoglycemia.
