My mother, in her 70s and a diabetic who takes insulin shots multiple times a day, was prescribed Ozempic by her PCP to help control diet and thereby her diabetes.
Over the course of one month, her kidney function dropped from 55% to 18% (less than 15% is where you need dialysis). This happens to be one of the rarest side effects of Ozempic and as a family we decided to stop the medication. Since then her kidney function has improved but is more dependent on diet than ever before. She has to severely watch her sodium, potassium intake.
Not blaming the doc (well kinda am) but rarest of side effects do manifest themselves so gotta be careful
Hope your lil girl is back to her normal self soon enough now!
