How to Take GLP-1 Medications Correctly
Weekly Injections (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Trulicity, Zepbound): Inject on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without food. Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, upper arm). If you miss a dose and it's within 5 days, take as soon as possible. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and resume regular schedule. Never take two doses within 5 days of each other.
Daily Injections (Victoza, Saxenda): Inject at approximately the same time each day. Start at lowest dose (0.6 mg) and increase weekly as directed. Maximum dose: Victoza 1.8 mg daily, Saxenda 3 mg daily.
Daily Pills (Rybelsus): Take on an empty stomach with no more than 4 oz of water. Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking other medications. Never crush or chew the tablet.
GLP-1 Side Effects and Management Strategies
Common side effects of GLP-1 medications include nausea (20-40% of patients), diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, decreased appetite, and injection site reactions. Most side effects improve within 4-8 weeks of continued use. Management strategies: Start at lowest dose and increase slowly every 4 weeks. Take with food to reduce nausea. Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Avoid high-fat and fried foods. Stay hydrated. For patients with low GI tolerance, your doctor may recommend a slower titration schedule (6-8 weeks between increases).

Severe allergic reaction to any GLP-1 medication is a contraindication. These medications are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, and headache. Serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis (severe abdominal pain radiating to back), gallbladder disease (upper right abdominal pain), kidney problems, and severe hypoglycemia when used with insulin or sulfonylureas.
