Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Ozempic (Semaglutide).
Diabetes identification: It is important to either wear a bracelet (or necklace) or carry a card indicating you have diabetes and are taking medication to manage your blood glucose levels.
Heart problems: Ozempic (Semaglutide) may increase heart rate and may affect how electrical impulses travel through the heart muscle. If you have heart disease or an abnormal heart rhythm (e.g., heart block or fast heart rate), discuss with your doctor how Ozempic (Semaglutide) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Ozempic (Semaglutide), and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Kidney function: Ozempic (Semaglutide) may cause decreased kidney function, kidney failure or worsening chronic kidney failure. If you have reduced kidney function or Kidney Disease, discuss with your doctor how Ozempic (Semaglutide) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Ozempic (Semaglutide), and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia): People who use Ozempic (Semaglutide) and are also taking a sulfonylurea (e.g., glyburide, Gliclazide) or insulin to control high blood sugar are more at risk of experiencing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia such as a cold sweat, nervousness or shakiness, fast heartbeat, headache, hunger, confusion, lightheadedness, weakness, and numbness or tingling of the tongue or lips, contact your doctor. Your doctor may need to adjust the dose of your medication(s).
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas): Ozempic (Semaglutide) can cause pancreatitis. If you experience symptoms of pancreatitis such as severe and persistent abdominal pain that may move to the back with or without vomiting, contact your doctor immediately. If you have previously had pancreatitis, discuss with your doctor how Ozempic (Semaglutide) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Ozempic (Semaglutide), and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Risk of thyroid cancer: In rare cases, people have developed thyroid cancer while using medications similar to Ozempic (Semaglutide). People with a personal or family history of thyroid cancer or people who have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (a disease where people have tumours in more than one gland in their body) should not use Ozempic (Semaglutide). If you develop difficulty swallowing or breathing, hoarseness or notice a mass developing in your neck, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Pregnancy: Ozempic (Semaglutide) should not be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while using Ozempic (Semaglutide), contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: It is not known if Ozempic (Semaglutide) passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking Ozempic (Semaglutide), it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using Ozempic (Semaglutide) have not been established for children.
Before you begin taking a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should take Pms Metformin.
Alcohol intake: Anyone taking metformin should avoid excessive alcohol intake.
Blood sugar control: If you have fever, trauma, infection, or surgery, you may have a temporary loss of blood sugar control. At such times, your doctor may think it is necessary to stop metformin and temporarily inject insulin. Metformin may be started again after the problem is resolved.
Blood sugar monitoring: Monitor your blood sugar regularly at intervals as discussed with your doctor or diabetes educator.
Diabetes complications: The use of metformin (or any other medication used for diabetes) will not prevent the development of complications particular to diabetes mellitus (e.g., Kidney Disease, nerve disease, eye disease).
Diet: Metformin is a treatment to be taken in combination with a proper diet. Metformin is not a substitute for proper diet.
Dye or contrast agents: If you are going to have an X-ray procedure that uses dye or a contrast agent, you may need to stop taking Pms Metformin for a short time. Contact your doctor for instructions.
Kidney problems: Kidney disease or reduced kidney function causes Pms Metformin to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have kidney problems, your doctor should closely monitor your condition while you are taking metformin, as it may affect kidney function.
Lactic acidosis: Lactic acidosis is a rare but serious problem that occurs due to metformin accumulation (i.e., the body doesn't get rid of it fast enough) during treatment. If you have severe kidney disease you are at higher risk of developing lactic acidosis. Since alcohol may increase the risk of lactic acidosis, do not drink a lot of alcohol over the short- or long-term while taking Pms Metformin. When it does occur (very rarely), it is fatal in 50% of cases. There have been no reports of lactic acidosis in Canada when metformin was used as directed. If you experience symptoms of lactic acidosis (e.g., weakness, tiredness, drowsiness, unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing, stomach pain with nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, feeling cold, dizziness, light-headedness, or slow or irregular heartbeat), stop taking Pms Metformin and get immediate medical attention.
Liver function: Decreased liver function has been linked to lactic acidosis. Pms Metformin is not recommended for people with severely reduced liver function. If you have moderately reduced liver function, discuss with your doctor how Pms Metformin may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Pms Metformin, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Low blood sugar: Under usual circumstances, low blood sugar does not occur for people who take only metformin. Low blood sugar could occur when not enough food is eaten, especially when strenuous exercise is undertaken at the same time or when large amounts of alcohol have been consumed.
Reduced response: Over a period of time, you may become progressively less responsive to a particular treatment for diabetes because your diabetes worsens. If metformin fails to lower blood sugar to target levels, talk to your doctor. Your doctor may want to stop metformin or recommend another medication.
Surgery: Pms Metformin should be stopped temporarily for surgery (except for minor surgery where food and fluid intake is not restricted). You will be restarted on Pms Metformin once you are eating and drinking and your kidney function has been tested and is normal. Talk to your doctor for specific instructions.
Vitamin B12 levels: Pms Metformin may decrease vitamin B12 levels. Your doctor will monitor your B12 levels with blood tests while you are taking Pms Metformin.
Pregnancy: Pms Metformin should not be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking Pms Metformin, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: Metformin is believed to pass into breast milk. Pms Metformin should not be used if you are breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of Pms Metformin have not been established for children.
Seniors: Kidney function often decreases with age. As a result, seniors may be more likely to experience side effects of Pms Metformin.
