Side Effects & Safety
Weight loss injections are effective, but they’re not without challenges. The most common side effects include nausea, bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea — especially during the first few weeks. Some patients also report fatigue, headaches, and muscle loss. A few experience what’s been called "Ozempic Face" — sagging or aging appearance due to rapid weight loss. To combat these issues, professionals recommend starting with lower doses, staying hydrated, and maintaining a protein-rich diet. Strength training can also help preserve lean muscle and reduce loose skin. With the right guidance, most side effects are temporary and can be successfully managed, allowing patients to reach their goals safely.
