What Are Wegovy Side Effects?
Wegovy side effects are most commonly related to digestion and appetite changes. As a GLP-1 weight loss injection, Wegovy works by slowing digestion and reducing hunger, which can cause temporary side effects — especially when starting or increasing the dose.
Most Wegovy side effects are mild and improve as the body adjusts.
Common Wegovy Side Effects
The most frequently reported Wegovy side effects in the UK include:
Nausea
Bloating
Indigestion
Constipation or diarrhoea
Reduced appetite
Mild fatigue
These effects are usually strongest during the first few weeks or after a dose increase.
Why Wegovy Causes Side Effects
Wegovy contains semaglutide, which slows stomach emptying and affects appetite hormones. This is exactly how Wegovy supports weight loss, but it also explains why digestive symptoms may occur early in treatment.
Taking Wegovy consistently and following dose escalation guidance helps reduce side effects.
How Long Do Wegovy Side Effects Last?
For most patients, Wegovy side effects:
Appear in the first 1–2 weeks
Improve after dose stabilisation
Resolve completely within a few weeks
If symptoms persist, a clinician may slow dose increases or adjust treatment.
Serious Wegovy Side Effects: What to Watch For
Serious side effects are rare but important to recognise. Contact a healthcare professional if you experience:
Severe or persistent vomiting
Intense abdominal pain
Signs of dehydration
Allergic reactions
A proper medical assessment helps minimise these risks.
