Can wegovy cause vomiting?

I recently started taking Wegovy for weight loss, and I've been experiencing a lot of nausea and vomiting. Is it common for Wegovy to cause vomiting, or should I be concerned?

In my long life, I have seen many new treatments come and go. When my daughter-in-law started this medication, she had severe vomiting for the first two weeks. It settled down slowly, but do keep your doctor in the loop.

It is actually a very common side effect when you start or increase the dose. Try eating very small, bland meals and give your body some time to adjust.

I ignored persistent vomiting once thinking it was just a normal reaction, and ended up severely dehydrated with low blood pressure. Don't wait for things to get worse. Call your clinic and let them know what's happening.

Oh god, even I get so stressed when I feel nauseous on meds. What if it is something serious like pancreatitis? Please check with your doctor immediately if the vomiting is severe or accompanied by bad stomach pain.

I literally panicked and wanted to stop the injection on day three because I threw up twice. But my doctor reassured me that it is just the body reacting to the slower digestion. It completely stopped after the second week.

I totally get it, throwing up makes you feel so exhausted and miserable. Please rest as much as you can and take small sips of ginger tea to soothe your stomach. You are not alone in this.

Vomiting is one of the primary side effects of GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy. If you eat greasy or heavy food, you will definitely throw up. Clean up your diet and the nausea will come down.
