These side effects most commonly occur around the time of the injection, during dose escalation, and are typically transient and will ease after youve adapted to the medication
Any reference to biological activity or potential effects is based solely on preclinical or in-vitro findings and should not be interpreted as validated clinical outcomes
If you are currently taking Ozempic to lose weight, you may benefit from switching to Wegovy, as it is available in higher doses
