If you are thinking of taking Wegovy for weight loss, you may want to know what some of the common side effects are. In today's blog post, we will look into some of the potential side effects commonly experienced with Wegovy and ways that you can manage them.
Weight loss can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be - with Wegovy, you are able to lose weight safely and effectively reaching a healthy weight and living a healthy life.
Wegovy is a medication that is injected once a week in patients who struggle to lose weight. It works by stimulating the GLP-1 receptors in the brain, which is a hormone in the body responsible for appetite and hunger cues.
Wegovy helps to curb cravings and enhance feelings of fullness and satisfaction after eating, helping to reduce overeating and aid weight loss in those who are overweight or obese.
All weight loss medications can come with side effects - some of the potential side effects commonly experienced with Wegovy include:
Usually, these symptoms aren't too severe and are mild. They should also begin to disappear over time as your body adjusts to the medication.
However, if symptoms persist and start to affect your day-to-day life, we recommend that you speak to one of our specialist nurses so that they can guide you in the right direction.
For further details and a more in-depth understanding, you can always read the summary of product characteristics.
Finding what works for you when managing your symptoms can help your weight loss journey feel more comfortable. Some ways you can manage each symptom include:
If you feel nauseous from your medication, stick to eating bland and low-fat foods such as rice, soups and low-fat yoghurts. Ensure that you keep your portion sizes small with a concerted effort at the beginning of your journey.
Staying hydrated and getting plenty of fresh air can also help to ease nausea. Some people also find that sugar-free mints help to take the edge off.
If you are suffering from diarrhoea, you should eat easily digestible foods that are gentle on the digestive system. We recommend that you avoid foods or beverages that contain caffeine as caffeine is a natural laxative, and can worsen diarrhoea.
Eat high-fibre-rich foods and be sure to stay hydrated if you are suffering from constipation.
Relaxing in a dark room and lying down, as well as over-the-counter pain medicine can help your headaches subside. It’s also important that you stay hydrated, usually at least 2 to 3 litres and get plenty of fresh air to relieve your headache and prevent it from worsening.
If you find that your injection site is red and itchy, you may want to try and numb the area before and after injection, with an ice pack or numbing cream.
If you find that your injection site is hot or tender to touch and it is producing unusual liquids then you should seek medical attention as it may be infected. If you believe you are experiencing an allergic reaction, seek medical attention.
It is a common concern that when you stop the use of your weight loss injection you may gain the weight back. This isn't always the case. However, making lifestyle changes and staying healthy during and after your treatment process is important.
It is normal that you may gain a few pounds or have weight fluctuations once you have stopped the medication, but maintaining a balanced diet and staying active will help you maintain your healthy weight.
You should speak to a professional about the next steps going forward and what you can do to maintain your weight. This is something we can help with at Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic. We will support you throughout your weight loss journey, ensuring you meet your weight loss goals and stay on track.
