Saturday marks Day 1 after a patent on Danish healthcare company Novo Nordisks patent on semaglutide expired on March 20 th in India, among other countries
A clinical trial involving 48 participants found the weekly jab semaglutide, also known as Ozempic and Wegovy, did not affect average drinks per day or the number of days on which they had a drink, but did reduce the amount they drank and their alcohol cravings
If symptoms do not improve over several weeks or worsen after stopping semaglutide, further investigation and gastroenterology referral may be warranted to consider alternative diagnoses
What patients notice first depends on their individual baseline
The Ozempic pen comes in fixed dose options (0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg), and while some pen devices technically allow dose adjustment, they were not designed for half-dose administration
