Why Patients Worry About Side Effects of Wegovy
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide, also known as Ozempic) are both effective weight-loss injections, but patients switching from Mounjaro often worry about side effects when starting Wegovy.
What Happens When You Switch to Wegovy
- Wegovy works differently: It only targets GLP-1, while Mounjaro targets both GLP-1 and GIP.
- Dose reset: Even if you were on a high dose of Mounjaro, you must start Wegovy at 0.25mg weekly (unless you’ve taken Wegovy before).
- Adjustment period: Your body may need time to adapt, and mild side effects like nausea or stomach upset can occur.
Common Wegovy Side Effects
- Nausea
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Indigestion or bloating
- Fatigue in the early weeks
These usually improve after a few weeks as your body adjusts.
How to Minimise Side Effects
- Start with the lowest dose (0.25mg)
- Increase gradually as advised
- Eat smaller meals and avoid heavy, fatty foods
- Stay hydrated and take injections on the same day each week
Cost Savings When Switching
Mounjaro Discounted Prices (September 2025): £235–£500/month
Wegovy Prices: £170–£300/month
Switching to Wegovy can save patients up to £200/month while still delivering strong results.
