All medications have the potential to cause side effects. Weight loss medications such as Saxenda, Wegovy and Mysimba all have the risk of side effects. In most cases these are mild and short lived, but rarely treatment may need to be stopped altogether. It is for this reason that aftercare is so important and this is where PrivateDoc’s aftercare really stands out.
Our experience of prescribing these medications means that we understand the symptoms that patients may experience with side effects and when coupled with our follow up service we are well equipped to manage side effects and advise patients accordingly. We know that some patients completely give up on medicated weight loss treatments when side effects are not well managed, however, with our support we are able to advise patients and support them through the initial period of adjustment to the medication where they may have given up on their own.
