Do the medications have side effects?
All the GLP-1 medications we offer have been through rigorous clinical trials to ensure their long-term safety.
Generally, they are well-tolerated, but like all medications, there is a chance of side effects. These are typically mild and temporary as your body adjusts to the medication.
Some of the common side effects when starting GLP-1 medications include:
-Loss of Appetite
-Nausea
-Vomiting
-Dizziness
-Fatigue
-Acid Reflux / Heartburn
-Diarrhoea or Constipation
-Burping and Flatulence
-Injection Site Reactions: mild irritation, itching, or bruising
