The most common side effects of semaglutide injections include nausea, stomach discomfort, and changes in appetite, especially during the early stages of treatment as your body adjusts
Best choices depending on priorities Significant weight loss: Semaglutide or tirzepatide Simple weekly dosing: Trulicity, Ozempic, or Mounjaro Daily pill instead of injections: Rybelsus Long track record of use: Liraglutide options such as Victoza or Saxenda How to Get a GLP-1 Prescription GLP-1 prescriptions can be obtained through a provider visit, telehealth service, or weight management clinic
