The most common side effects of Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, constipation, and headache. These symptoms often occur during the initial stage; however, they usually improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Eating smaller meals or avoiding heavy, fried foods may help ease symptoms like nausea or an upset stomach. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, consult your doctor for advice.
Before starting Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch, inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, particularly a history of pancreatitis, eye problems caused by diabetes (diabetic retinopathy), thyroid cancer, or severe gastrointestinal problems. This medicine is not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or those with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Additionally, discuss with your doctor if you are on medications for type 2 diabetes, such as insulin or sulfonylureas; combining Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch with these medications can increase the risk of low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Your doctor may need to adjust your medicine dosage to ensure safe use.
