Ozempic: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones.

Removed the dose recommendation. You can describe what you did; you cannot tell somebody else what to take.
Delayed gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is why the reflux usually fades at a stable dose.
