Semaglutide treats type 2 diabetes and manages weight by mimicking the actions of a natural hormone to regulate blood sugar levels. Its common side effects include nausea, constipation, bloating, dry mouth, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort, along with potential injection site reactions. While these are typically mild and may lessen with time, any severe or persistent side effects should be reported to your healthcare provider. It’s crucial to adhere to prescribed dosages and consult your doctor regarding any concerns or changes in your condition.
