What Is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a once-weekly injection that contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient as Ozempic, but licensed in the UK specifically for weight management. It helps reduce appetite, lower calorie intake, and support long-term weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
Common Side Effects of Wegovy
Like all medicines, Wegovy can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. The most common ones occur in the first few weeks as your body adjusts:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
- Stomach pain
- Bloating or indigestion
- Reduced appetite
These effects are usually mild to moderate and improve as treatment continues.
Why These Side Effects Happen
Wegovy works by slowing down digestion and reducing appetite. This can cause the stomach to feel fuller for longer, which is why nausea or indigestion sometimes occurs at the start of treatment.
Serious Side Effects – Rare but Important
In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur. These include:
- Severe stomach pain (possible pancreatitis)
- Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
- Gallstones
- Kidney issues from dehydration due to vomiting or diarrhoea
If you experience severe or worrying symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.
Managing Side Effects
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals
- Avoid high-fat or spicy foods during the first few weeks
- Stay hydrated to prevent dehydration from nausea or diarrhoea
- Take your injection on the same day each week
Wegovy vs Mounjaro Side Effects
Both Wegovy (semaglutide/Ozempic) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) share similar side effects because they act on gut hormones. However, some patients report slightly higher rates of nausea with Mounjaro.
