Can Ozempic be taken by a person who has had a stroke?

Ozempic is a medicine prescribed by your doctor. The use of Ozempic in a person who has had a stroke is decided by the doctor. According to the available information in the summary of the European public assessment report (EPAR) for Ozempic: "Ozempic has also been shown to be effective in reducing the occurrence of serious health complications associated with diabetes, such as heart attack or stroke. An additional study of more than 3,000 patients with diabetes and a high risk of developing cardiac problems showed that heart attack, stroke or death were less common among those treated with Ozempic (6.6%) than those treated with placebo (8.9%). If we looked at these three "events" separately, heart attack or stroke was less common in patients taking Ozempic, but the rate of cardiac deaths was similar in the two groups." This is information about patients from risk groups, as I wrote earlier, the use of Ozempic in a given patient takes place after a medical consultation.
