Understanding GLP-1 Side Effects 
and How to Manage Them

GLP-1 medications are highly effective for weight loss and blood sugar management, but like any treatment, they may come with some side effects. The most common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or mild stomach discomfort. These symptoms typically occur as your body adjusts to the medication and often improve over time.

To minimize side effects, start with a low dose as recommended by your healthcare provider, and gradually increase it. Eating smaller, balanced meals and avoiding heavy, fatty, or spicy foods can also help. Staying hydrated is key, especially if experiencing nausea or diarrhea. If side effects persist or worsen, don’t hesitate to reach out to your BetterMeRx provider—they can adjust your dosage or offer additional strategies to help you feel more comfortable.

Many people find that the benefits of GLP-1 medications, such as improved health and sustainable weight loss, far outweigh the initial side effects. With proper guidance and a little patience, these challenges can often be managed effectively. If you have any concerns or questions, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
