Semaglutide Side Effects

At Hormone Fitness, we understand that weight loss can be a rollercoaster. You're excited about the potential, but maybe a little worried about what to expect. Semaglutide, a medication we offer for chronic weight management, is a powerful tool, but like any medication, it can come with side effects.

What Are the Side Effects of Semaglutide?

Mild and Temporary Side Effects

Gastrointestinal Woes

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and gas are all pretty common, especially when you first start taking semaglutide. Don't despair! These often lessen over time. To manage them, try taking Semaglutide with food, eating smaller meals, and staying hydrated.

Dizziness

Feeling lightheaded can happen, particularly when you get up too quickly. Take it slow and stay seated for a moment after standing.

Headaches

These are a possibility, but over-the-counter pain relievers can usually help. Visit our "Semaglutide Headache Relief Tips" for more information.

Serious and Less Common Side Effects

Gallbladder Problems

Semaglutide can increase your risk of gallstones. Let your doctor know if you have a history of gallbladder issues.

Allergic Reactions

While rare, serious allergic reactions are possible. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience swelling, trouble breathing, or hives.

Vision changes

Blurred vision can occur. If you experience this, contact your doctor.
