What side effects should I watch for with Personalized Semaglutide?

Common semaglutide side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach discomfort. These can occur when starting treatment or increasing the dose. Tell your prescribing physician if symptoms interfere with eating, drinking, or daily activities. Do not adjust your dose without guidance. Pyridoxine does not guarantee fewer side effects.

Seek urgent care for severe or lasting belly pain, especially if it spreads to your back or comes with vomiting. This can be a sign of pancreatitis. Upper belly pain with fever or yellow skin may signal gallbladder trouble. Repeated vomiting or diarrhea can cause dehydration and kidney problems. Call 911 for trouble breathing, fainting, or swelling of your face or throat.

Semaglutide has a warning about thyroid C-cell tumors based on animal studies; the human risk is unknown. Tell your physician about any personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Also report vision changes. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved.
