GLP-1 Side Effects: What to Expect
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® are effective, but many people experience side effects—especially in the first few weeks.
The most common include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and fatigue. These usually improve over time as your body adjusts. Small changes can make a big difference: eat smaller meals, avoid heavy or fried foods, and stay hydrated.
Tracking your health data helps too. Graphs of weight, blood sugar, and blood pressure show whether your progress continues even when side effects are present. This information reassures both you and your doctor.
Remember: always talk to your healthcare provider before making changes to your medication routine.
