Considering that semaglutide works directly with the gastrointestinal system, it is no surprise that the most common side effects are gastrointestinal in nature. Some of the most common side effects experienced by those who use semaglutide for weight loss include:

• Nausea
• Heartburn
• Vomiting
• Constipation
• Stomach pain
• Gas
• Diarrhea

Even though there are some side effects with the use of semaglutide, it is still extremely safe to use for weight loss. In fact, it has fewer side effects than other weight loss medications available on the market. While side effects from semaglutide are rare, they can still happen. Your comfort is important to us, which is why with the CMWL semaglutide program, our team prescribes oral Zofran which can help with nausea. Even if you don’t feel you need it, we recommend you have Zofran on standby in case you do experience any side effects.

Do not use medication if you are allergic to semaglutide or any of its ingredients.

Do not use Semaglutide if you are currently pregnant, breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed.

Do not use medication if you or any of your family have ever had a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), or if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Semaglutide may affect the way some medicines work and some medicines may affect the way your treatment performs.
