Semaglutide is a weekly injected medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. It can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. These symptoms often improve over time but should be monitored closely.
Treatment approaches may include starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it, taking the medication with meals, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter medications like anti-nausea drugs under healthcare provider guidance.
