Can wegovy cause kidney stones?
My doctor wants me to start Wegovy, but I have a history of kidney stones. I'm worried about aggravating my condition. Can Wegovy cause kidney stones or make them worse?

When you are on Wegovy, your food cravings go down, but please don't let your water intake go down too! If you stop drinking fluids, those nasty little stones will make a home in your kidney. Keep sipping water, lime juice, or coconut water.

My mother always tells us to drink barley water for any kidney heat, but with modern medicines like Wegovy, we must follow the doctor's word. Please consult your specialist to see if you need periodic kidney scans or tests.

I got a kidney stone during my second month on this injection because I was barely drinking any water due to the nausea. My tip is to set an hourly alarm on your phone to drink half a glass of water. Don't wait till you feel thirsty.

Haan na, even I heard that rapid weight loss and less water can cause stones. It is better to talk to your doc about it. Thoda care lena padta hai with these new injections.

Ugh, kidney stones are basically like giving birth through a very tiny tube! To avoid that drama, just make water your best friend while on this medicine. Keep chugging!
