Wegovy® is generally well-tolerated, but like all medications, some users may experience side effects as the body adjusts - especially in the early stages of treatment.
Common Side Effects:
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Constipation and/or diarrhoea
- Heartburn
These symptoms are usually mild and tend to lessen over time as your body adapts. Gradual dose increases are designed to help minimise these effects.
Rare Side Effects:
- Gallstones
- Pancreatitis
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
- Allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis)
You will receive a Patient Information Leaflet with your medication, which includes detailed guidance on side effects, how to manage them, and when to seek help.
If you’re concerned or if side effects persist, please don’t hesitate to contact our clinical team at Lotus via contact form or telephone - we’re here to support you.
