According to their official website, Ozempic, is proven to lower blood sugar and A1C when used along with diet and exercise. In addition, it lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults who also have heart disease and lowers the risk of worsening kidney disease, kidney failure (end-stage kidney disease), and death due to cardiovascular disease in adults who also have chronic kidney disease.

In rat and rabbit studies, semaglutide was associated with embryo-fetal effects at exposures at, below, or above human therapeutic doses
