No, you will follow a specific protocol for titration with once-weekly injections only. Increasing your dose yourself could lead to serious side effects such as severe nausea, vomiting, low blood sugar, or other complications. It's important to stick to the dosing schedule prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the medication is effective and safe for you. Always consult your provider before making any changes to your dosage.
can i increase doses myself and/or do more than 1 dose per week?
Yes, it is normal to experience some nausea while taking Semaglutide, especially in the early stages of treatment. Nausea is one of the most common side effects because Semaglutide slows down digestion, which can lead to feelings of fullness or discomfort.
The nausea usually decreases over time as your body gets used to the medication. To help manage nausea, you can try: eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding high-fat or greasy foods, staying hydrated, and eating bland, easy-to-digest foods like crackers or toast.
IS IT NORMAL FOR ME TO FEEL NAUSEATED?
Many patients start to notice weight loss during the second month of undergoing Semaglutide. The first month is primarily for acclimation; allowing one's brain and body to reduce cravings, curb appetite, and regulate blood sugars appropriately. The acclimating month is key to reducing GI symptoms.
