Before Receiving Semaglutide:
- Have the water intake discussed and agreed with your health care provider.
- Limit how much alcohol you’re drinking. (Alcohol can have an effect on your blood sugar and there is a risk that it may drop too low in combination with Semaglutide, especially if you’re a diabetic and or drinking on an empty stomach. Alcohol may irritate your stomach and worsen GI side effects when in combination with the medication.)
- Make sure your provider is aware of all medications you are taking before starting Semaglutide. Semaglutide slows down gastric emptying which could potentially impact the amount of oral medication absorbed by the body. Although clinical trials haven’t shown this to be significant with Semaglutide in particular, it’s best to use caution when taking any oral medication.
After Receiving Semaglutide:
- Exercise minim 30 min. per day even if is just a walk.
- Have a healthy and balanced diet.
- Discuss any side effects like constipation, diarrhea, nausea.
