Short answer

Diarrhoea is among the gastrointestinal effects listed for semaglutide products including Ozempic. It often clusters early or after a strength change. Persistent diarrhoea risks dehydration and kidney strain — a reason labels warn about fluid loss. Peptide Confessions does not publish dosing, timing, injection or sourcing guidance.
