Most common side effects are GI related such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation or vomiting. However, most people report these side effects are short term and become less frequent or completely resolve with continued use as the body adjusts.

Although individual results may vary, weight loss is generally seen after the first week with initiation of treatment and lifestyle changes.

It is essentially up to you on how long you decide to remain on the injections, but it is safe to remain on them forever, if your lifestyle cannot be improved or you need extra support. It is important to know if you stop the medication, you may have rebound weight gain and studies have shown up to 2/3 of previous weight loss is regained with withdrawal of treatment.

Keep in mind you should be getting at least 60 grams of protein daily, so be mindful when you do eat that you are making healthy decisions and incorporating enough protein into your diet.
