Nausea and vomiting are common side effects of Mounjaro and Wegovy, affecting around 1 in 10 users and often occur when doses are increased. To help manage these symptoms, you can:
- Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of clear fluids, such as water or herbal teas. Avoid sugary drinks if you have diabetes
- Eat Small, Frequent Meals. Opt for smaller portions.
- Try Herbal Teas. Ginger, peppermint, or fennel teas can help soothe symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
- Avoid Strong Smelling foods. This can aggravate nausea and make you feel worse.
- Purchase Anti-sickness medication. You can purchase anti-sickness medications such as Cyclizine from our website to help manage symptoms of nausea and vomiting while your body adjusts to the higher doses of GLP-1 treatment.
- Get Fresh Air. Going outside for a walk helps distract you from your symptoms and the fresh air can help alleviate nausea.
Vomiting more than three times a day or violent vomiting accompanied by additional symptoms like abdominal pain may indicate that Mounjaro or Wegovy aren't suitable for you, so please monitor your symptoms. If your urine becomes dark in colour, passing less urine than usual for you or feeling light-headed, could all be signs of dehydration, and you should drink more fluids and seek help.
