Serious Warning: Possible Thyroid Tumors

Semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including possible thyroid tumors, including cancer. Tell your health care provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer.

In studies with rodents, Semaglutide and medicines that work like Semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if Semaglutide will cause thyroid tumors, or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in people.

Do Not Use Semaglutide If

• You or any of your family have ever had MTC, or you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

• You are allergic to Semaglutide or any of the ingredients in Semaglutide.

Before Using Semaglutide

Tell your health care provider if you have any other medical conditions, including if you:

• Have or have had problems with your pancreas or kidneys.

• Have a history of diabetic retinopathy.

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed. It is not known if Semaglutide will harm your unborn baby or passes into your breast milk. You should stop using Semaglutide 2 months before you plan to become pregnant.

Tell your health care provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbal supplements, and other medicines to treat diabetes, including insulin or sulfonylureas.

Common Side Effects

The most common side effects of Semaglutide may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach (abdominal) pain, and constipation.

Serious Side Effects

Semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including:

• Inflammation of your pancreas (pancreatitis): Stop using Semaglutide and call your health care provider right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that will not go away, with or without vomiting. You may feel the pain from your abdomen to your back.

• Changes in vision: Tell your health care provider if you have changes in vision during treatment with Semaglutide.

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): Your risk for getting low blood sugar may be higher if you use Semaglutide with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as a sulfonylurea or insulin. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include dizziness or lightheadedness, blurred vision, anxiety, irritability or mood changes, sweating, slurred speech, hunger, confusion or drowsiness, shakiness, weakness, headache, fast heartbeat, and feeling jittery.

• Kidney problems (kidney failure): In people who have kidney problems, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may cause a loss of fluids (dehydration), which may cause kidney problems to get worse. It is important for you to drink fluids to help reduce your chance of dehydration.

• Serious allergic reactions: Stop using Semaglutide and get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat; problems breathing or swallowing; severe rash or itching; fainting or feeling dizzy; or very rapid heartbeat.
