What does it feel like after the first injection of Wegovy?

After the first injection of Wegovy (semaglutide), patients most often experience mild side effects such as nausea, feeling full, or decreased appetite. These symptoms are usually temporary and related to the effects of the drug on the digestive system.

As a pharmacist, I can advise that if you experience these symptoms, drink plenty of water, eat smaller and more balanced meals, and consider taking pain medications such as paracetamol if there are no contraindications. It is also important to monitor your health and consult a doctor if necessary, especially if the symptoms are bothersome or persist for a long time.

Additionally, it is recommended to avoid foods that can irritate the digestive system, and to maintain regular physical activity and adequate sleep. It is important to follow a gradual dose escalation regimen, which reduces the risk of stronger side effects.
