Most of the side-effects with the GLP-1 injections are minor and improve with time.
Among the most common side effects of treatment might be digestive issues such as diarrhoea, gas, constipation, heartburn/acid reflux, stomach pain; or a general upset stomach, nausea and in rare cases vomiting. Some people experience stomach flu symptoms like a sore throat or runny nose.
The more mild side effects tend to be most noticeable right after an injection, lasting anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. But, as your body adjusts to the medication, these side effects tend to diminish.Your doctor will work with you to navigate these side effects should they arise.
