🩺 Understanding the Possible Side Effects of Weight Loss Injections

Weight loss and diabetes injections (often called GLP-1 medications, such as semaglutide or liraglutide) can be helpful tools for managing weight and blood sugar levels. However, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects and to get the right professional support to protect your health.

One of the more serious complications is gastroparesis — a condition where the stomach empties food more slowly than normal. Symptoms can include feeling full quickly, nausea, vomiting, bloating, tummy pain, and heartburn. Over time, this may lead to fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, or unwanted loss of muscle mass.

Other side effects may include diarrhoea, constipation, acid reflux (GORD), indigestion, dizziness, low blood pressure, hair loss and tiredness. Some people also report gallbladder or pancreas problems, changes to vision, or shifts in mood such as anxiety, low mood or depression.

If you notice these symptoms, contact your GP or healthcare provider as soon as possible. Early intervention can prevent complications and improve your comfort and wellbeing.
