If you are someone trying to lose weight via medical dosage, Wegovy must be a known drug for you. It reduces weight by regulating appetite. Thanks to its proven effective properties to give the feeling of fullness of the stomach for a long period of time, it makes you stop snacking around food. Wegovy presents amazing weight loss benefits; however, it does possess some side effects. You might feel sick on Wegovy and must be wondering how to stop it as you want to continue the medication. Here are some ways through which you can subside the side effects.
-
Low Dose At The Start
Whenever you are starting Wegovy dosage, you must take a lower dose to get used to it. The feeling of nausea is very common in the beginning and will gradually fade away over time. By taking a smaller portion of the dosage, the body gets used to it, and slowly you can increase the dosage in installments to reach the desired level for the most effective results. Your healthcare provider will increase the dosage as your body reacts to it positively.
-
Light On Food
Stick to the light food diet to minimize nausea and vomiting. High-fat food or heavy meals can make the nausea worse. It increases discomfort, and your goal to reach a certain level of weight can become difficult. Taking light and easy-to-digest foods can enhance the effectiveness of the dosage and also help in reducing weight without compromising the nutrients.
-
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to reduce the side effects like nausea on Wegovy. Drink water in short intervals throughout the day rather than drinking lots of water at once. If you take too much at a time, it can lead to bloating and discomfort. A small portion of water also enhances the results of weight loss, and thus it supports the functions of Wegovy.
-
Home Remedies
Some home remedies, like ginger and peppermint, can be taken to subside the feeling of vomiting or nausea. Taking ginger tea to calm the stomach or peppermint tea to soothe out internal discomfort can be effective in stopping the feeling of sickness on Wegovy.
-
Practice Deep Breathing
Deep breathing and medication have shown their benefits to the world, and applying the breathing and meditation techniques to calm out the side effects of Wegovy can be very useful. It can also support the function of the dosage as it enhances the weight loss effects.
-
Eat Small And Frequent Meals
As mentioned above, stay light on food, but the light food must be divided into small intervals to help the digestive system and reduce the feeling of nausea.
Bottom Line
Wegovy is famous for weight loss management, but you must be able to withstand certain side effects like vomiting and nausea that come along with the dosage. By putting in some effort, like taking smaller and more frequent meals, light food, or adding some peppermint or ginger to the routine tea, you can reduce the sick feeling if you are on Wegovy. Consult your healthcare provider if any side effect of the dosage stays longer than usual.
