This is a very common side effect and can occur in more than 1 in 10 people taking Mounjaro or Wegovy. You’re most likely to experience feeling sick when you first start your medication and when you increase your dose.
Here’s what we recommend to help you:
- Drink plenty of fluids (cold water, herbal teas)
- Get lots of fresh air
- Eat small and frequent meals
- Reduce intake of foods high in sugar and fat
- Avoid cooking or eating strong smelling foods
