Important Safety Information

Important Safety Information for Ozempic (semaglutide) injection

Caution: Risk of Thyroid C-Cell Tumors

In animal studies involving mice and rats, semaglutide (the active component in Ozempic and Wegovy) was associated with thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is uncertain whether Ozempic may lead to thyroid tumors or a specific thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in humans. If you notice any neck lumps, swelling, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or shortness of breath, please inform your healthcare provider. These could be signs of thyroid cancer.

Do not use Ozempic if you or any family member has a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or a condition known as Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

What is the FDA-approved use of Ozempic?

Ozempic is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for:

  • Enhancing glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, alongside diet and exercise.
  • Reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease.

Limitations of Use:

  • Ozempic has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis.
  • Ozempic is not intended for treating type 1 diabetes mellitus.
  • Your JRNYS-affiliated provider may suggest Ozempic for chronic weight management (obesity or overweight).

Who should avoid Ozempic?

Do not use Ozempic if:

  • You or any family member has a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
  • You have known allergies to semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy or Ozempic).

How should Ozempic be administered?

Ozempic can be taken with or without food. The pre-filled injector pen is self-administered as a subcutaneous injection in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm once a week on the same day each week.

Your JRNYS-affiliated provider will guide you on the treatment plan, which may include dose increases every four weeks.

Do not alter your dosing regimen or discontinue Ozempic without consulting your provider first.

 

What should I inform my JRNYS-affiliated provider before using Ozempic?

Ozempic can interact with certain medications. It's crucial to disclose all current medications, including prescription, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, and dietary supplements to your JRNYS-affiliated provider.

Some medications to be aware of include:

  • Drugs for type 1 or type 2 diabetes, such as insulin or sulfonylureas (e.g., Amaryl or Glucotrol XL).
  • Ozempic can delay gastric emptying, potentially affecting the absorption of orally taken medications. Your provider can advise on scheduling your medications.

Additionally, share your complete medical history with your provider, especially if you have a history of:

  • Type 1 or type 2 diabetes
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Pancreatitis
  • Kidney disease
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Depression
  • Suicidal thoughts or behavior

Notify your provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

If pregnant: Ozempic should not be used during pregnancy. Animal studies suggest potential risks to the unborn baby from Ozempic exposure during pregnancy. Weight loss during pregnancy is not beneficial and may harm the baby.

If of reproductive potential: Discontinue Ozempic at least two months before planned pregnancy, as the drug may persist in the bloodstream.

If breastfeeding: Ozempic was detected in the milk of lactating rats. Inform your JRNYS-affiliated provider if you are breastfeeding before starting Ozempic.

Pregnancy registry: A pregnancy exposure registry monitors outcomes in women exposed to semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Ozempic) during pregnancy.

Pregnant women exposed to semaglutide and healthcare providers can contact Novo Nordisk at 1-800-727-6500.

Withholding or providing inaccurate health information to obtain treatment may lead to harm, including death.

What are the most serious side effects to monitor for while taking Ozempic?

If you experience a medical emergency, call 911 or seek immediate medical attention.

Serious side effects associated with Ozempic include:

  • Thyroid C-Cell Tumors: While Ozempic's impact on human thyroid C-cell tumors remains uncertain, animal studies revealed an increase in thyroid C-cell tumors, including MTC. Ozempic is contraindicated for patients with a family history of MTC or MEN 2. Notify your provider if you notice neck lumps, swelling, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or shortness of breath, as these may indicate thyroid cancer.
  • Acute Pancreatitis: Be vigilant for signs of acute pancreatitis, such as persistent severe abdominal pain, possibly radiating to the back, with or without vomiting.
  • Diabetic Retinopathy Complications in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: If you have type 2 diabetes, promptly inform your provider of any changes in vision.
  • Never Share a Pen: Sharing Ozempic pens can lead to infections.
  • Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia): Ozempic can lower blood glucose, potentially causing low blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes using other glucose control medications. Monitor blood sugar levels and watch for signs of low blood sugar, including dizziness, blurred vision, mood changes, sweating, or rapid heartbeat.
  • Acute Kidney Injury: In individuals with kidney issues, dehydration from diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting can worsen kidney problems. Ensure adequate hydration to reduce the risk of dehydration.
  • Serious Allergic Reactions: Discontinue Ozempic immediately if you experience symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, such as facial swelling, severe rash, rapid heartbeat, breathing difficulties, or fainting.
  • Acute Gallbladder Disease: Ozempic may lead to gallbladder problems, including gallstones. Some issues may require surgery. Inform your provider of upper stomach pain, yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice), fever, or pale stools.
  • Increase in Heart Rate: Notify your provider of a rapid resting heart rate.
  • Suicidal Behavior and Ideation: Monitor your mental health for sudden changes in mood, behavior, thoughts, or feelings. If you experience new, worsening, or concerning mental changes, contact your healthcare provider promptly.

What are the most common side effects of Ozempic?

Common side effects of Ozempic include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Stomach pain
  • Constipation

If you experience adverse effects, please report them:

  • Contact Novo Nordisk Inc. at 1-833-934-6891

What are GLP-1s?

GLP-1s are ground breaking weight loss medications that work differently from older generations like phentermine.

They focus on important metabolic pathways to achieve sustainable weight loss. JRNYS providers prescribe various GLP-1 medications, including tirzepatide, semaglutide and liraglutide, which you might recognize as Wegovy®, Saxenda®, Ozempic®, or Mounjaro®.

Our programs are tailored to 6 and 12 month curriculums based on your unique BMI and weight goals. In our pilot members saw initial results within their first week and continued throughout the months.

Membership ranges from $89 per month to $169 per month depending on your level of 1-1 coach support. The base price includes your medical visits, daily monitoring, coaching & access to member exclusive content.

At JRNYS we focus on your underlying metabolic system through doctor prescribed medications in order to reset core bodily functions. Your metabolic system includes appetite control, the stimulation of gluconeogenesis (the process where the body makes glucose from protein and fat), blood sugar optimization and more.


Members must regularly check their weight at least three times a week, a quick process taking no more than two minutes. This routine is essential for our doctors to closely monitor your body's response to prescribed medications.

Additionally, you are scheduled for bi-weekly 20-minute coaching sessions to ensure you are making progress and achieving the desired results. Apart from adhering to their prescribed regimen, members have the flexibility to select the lifestyle choices they wish to incorporate to enhance their programs, such as physical activity, meal planning, and following our blog articles, among others.

Our doctors review your medical history, risk factors, weight loss goals & BMI to come up with a customized plan that fits your unique body. Based on that our providers will determine which medication will be indicated for your plan. This process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Our members lose an average of 2-4 pounds per week depending on the medication you are prescribed.

Our doctors carefully assess your BMI, medical history, and weight objectives in order to create a personalized treatment and dosage plan.

The majority of our members who enroll in our monthly program receive our Metabolic Reset GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1s). These GLP-1s are available in various formulations, including tirzepatide, dulaglutide, semaglutide, and liraglutide, which are often recognized by their brand names like Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Mounjaro™, or Saxenda®, among others. However, depending on their BMI and weight loss goals, some members may be prescribed fat absorption blockers or appetite suppressants.

GLP-1s are naturally-occurring hormones made by your gut that send signals to the brain to decrease your appetite, improve your metabolic system, and regulate your digestion.

JRNYS providers use a variety of GLP-1s to help reset our metabolic rate at the cellular level.

Our providers navigate all insurance plans on your behalf in order to get cost effective access to your GLP-1 medications. GLP-1s for most members with commercial insurance should be capped at $25 per month after any deductible is met.

The cost of the JRNYS program is HSA/FSA eligible.

Yes. JRNYS providers can prescribe Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) online after reviewing your health history. No office visit required. Provider review is completed within 24 hours.

Pricing depends on your prescription and subscription plan. JRNYS membership starts at $89/month. Medication pricing is confirmed after your provider consultation. Insurance navigation support is available, or self-pay options can be arranged.

Yes. Tirzepatide is the generic name for Mounjaro®. Zepbound™ is the same active ingredient (tirzepatide) approved specifically for weight loss. Your JRNYS provider will recommend the right option based on your goals and coverage.

Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) works through a dual mechanism - activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Most other GLP-1 medications activate a single receptor. Your JRNYS provider will review your health history and recommend the medication that's the right fit for your goals and clinical profile.

Not everyone qualifies - your JRNYS provider determines clinical appropriateness during your evaluation. If Mounjaro isn't the right fit, your provider may recommend an alternative. You won't be charged for medication if you don't qualify.
