Here, the question arises that as to why we need Ozempic when we can naturally produce GLP-1
The likely mechanism is that GLP-1 receptor agonists slow gastric emptying and reduce peristalsis the rhythmic muscular contractions that move stool through the colon
The body does not permanently lose the capacity to rebuild muscle tissue based on drug use alone
Other Common Digestive Side Effects of Ozempic Gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation are common symptoms experienced by people taking semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) injections
