Although it is true that Ozempic does have some side effects, it also may be a good medicine in your situation, especially in light of your obesity. I think your best bet would be to make a follow up appointment with the Doctor Who prescribed the Ozempic and discussed the risks versus benefits of the various possible medications with him or her. good luck.
