Study-related adverse events The adverse events most commonly reported in 5% of adult patients treated with Victoza 1.8 mg vs Januvia 100 mg, both in combination with metformin, were nausea (21.8% vs 7.8%), diarrhea (16.3% vs 9.3%), decreased appetite (8.9% vs 3.4%), vomiting (7.4% vs 4.9%), headache (6.4% vs 5.9%), nasopharyngitis (5.9% vs 3.4%), and increased lipase (5.5% vs 4.4%)
At doses approved for weight loss, Saxenda is about 50% as effective as Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg SC weekly)
Common Wegovy side effects including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea can cause dehydration, which may temporarily defer plasma donation until symptoms resolve and hydration is restored
