• Gradual Dose Escalation: Begin with a lower dose and gradually increase to the maintenance dose to allow the body to adjust.
• Dietary Adjustments: Avoid high-fat, spicy, or overly sweet foods that can exacerbate symptoms. Instead, focus on smaller portioned meals with a balance of protein, fiber, and whole grains. Staying well-hydrated is also crucial.
• Symptom Management: For persistent nausea, antiemetic medications like domperidone may be considered. For constipation, increasing fluid intake, dietary fiber, and physical activity can be beneficial. In some cases, stool softeners may be recommended.
• Monitoring and Adjustment: Regular follow-up with healthcare providers is essential. If side effects persist or worsen, dose adjustments or alternative treatments may be necessary.

Recognizing your body’s natural hunger cues can help differentiate between potential medication side effects and signs that your body simply needs nourishment. Individuals taking weight loss medications often experience a reduced sense of hunger, which can lead to unintentionally skipping meals. As a result, the body may still signal the need for food, even in the absence of conscious hunger. Common signs include headache, lightheadedness, or nausea. If these symptoms resolve after eating, they are likely related to hunger rather than adverse effects of the medication.
