Understanding Weight Loss Medication Side Effects: 
What to Expect

Manage side effects and achieve your goals with CheqUp's expert guidance

Title

Introduction

Weight loss medications like Mounjaro, Wegovy and Rybelsus can be incredibly effective tools. However, like any medication, they can come with potential side effects. It's essential to understand these possibilities and learn how to manage them for a comfortable and successful weight loss journey.

Common Side Effects of GLP-1 Based Medications

Mounjaro, Wegovy and Rybelsus belong to a class of medications called GLP-1 agonists (and Mounjaro is a dual-acting GLP-1/GIP agonist). These medications often share common side effects, including:

  • Nausea 
  • Constipation 
  • Diarrhea 
  • Vomiting 
  • Abdominal pain 
  • Stomach upset 
  • Reduced appetite 
  • Fatigue
Title

Important Notes on Side Effects

  • Generally Mild & Temporary: Most side effects are mild and often subside as your body adjusts to the medication.
  • Individual Variation: Everyone's experience is different. Some people may experience very few side effects, while others may have more noticeable ones.
  • Dosage Matters: Side effects are most common at the start of treatment or during dosage increases.
Title

Managing Side Effects with CheqUp Support

  • Gradual Dose Increases: We start you on a low dose and gradually increase it to help minimise discomfort.
  • Personalised Guidance: Your doctor will offer customised advice on managing specific side effects you may experience. 
  • Medication Adjustments: If needed, we can adjust your dosage or explore alternative medications. 
  • Ongoing Support: We'll check in regularly to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
Title

Less Common Side Effects

In rarer cases, GLP-1 agonists may be associated with:

  • Gallbladder problems 
  • Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) 
  • Increased heart rate 
  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia, especially when combined with diabetes medications)
Title

Seek Medical Attention For:

  • Severe or persistent abdominal pain 
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes 
  • Signs of an allergic reaction
