and EU product information emphasise gastrointestinal adverse reactions (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain) as common with semaglutide, especially around dose escalation
Do Not Freeze: Never freeze semaglutide
Specific warning signs that semaglutide may have expired or become compromised include: Particulate matter : Visible floating particles or sediment Cloudiness or turbidity : The solution appears hazy or opaque rather than clear Color changes : Any discoloration (solution should be clear and colorless) Pen malfunction : Difficulty advancing the dose selector or resistance during injection (though this may indicate a device issue rather than medication expiration) Beyond visual inspection, patients should verify that the medication has not exceeded its expiration date or, for Ozempic, the 56-day in-use period
