What are the side effects of semaglutide?
Some possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and reactions at the injection site. These are often mild and improve with time. Stay hydrated and let your provider know if any worrisome symptoms occur.
How long until I see results on semaglutide?
Most patients begin noticing reduced appetite/cravings, weight loss, and balanced blood sugar within 1-2 weeks. However, full effects may take 2-3 months. Be patient and stick with it!
Can I stop semaglutide once I lose weight?
No, semaglutide must be taken continuously. Stopping will likely lead to weight regain as the benefits wear off. Maintenance therapy is key for long-term success.
What happens if I miss a semaglutide dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it has been more than 5 days since the last injection/tablet. Resume your normal schedule for the next week's dose. A few lapses are okay, but consistency is best.
