6 Wegovy side effects you need to be aware of
Wegovy (semaglutide) is a weight-loss medicine that can be associated with common stomach side effects like nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. More infrequent, rare or serious side effects have also been reported, including low blood sugar, lung aspiration during deep sedation or anesthesia, thyroid cancer or gallstones.
Is dehydration a side effect of Wegovy?
Yes, but not directly – dehydration during Wegovy treatment can come up if patients get vomiting or diarrhoea and don’t drink enough. Water or clear broths can help to restore the water and electrolyte balance.
How common is depression with Wegovy?
It’s not yet known how common depression with Wegovy is. Throughout clinical trials, researchers didn’t observe any link between the two. Since its approval, reports about depression with Wegovy came up sporadically, but the connection has yet to be evaluated.
