Who is a good candidate?
Adults who want medical support to lose weight, especially if diet and exercise alone have not given lasting results. It is not right for everyone: pregnancy or breastfeeding, a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2, and a history of pancreatitis are some reasons it may not be safe. That is why we always start with a review of your health history.
Common side effects
Nausea, fullness and digestive discomfort are the most common, especially at the start or after a dose increase. Smaller meals, enough water and enough protein help. Your provider adjusts the dose with you.
