Seek urgent medical attention (contact your GP immediately or attend A&E) if you experience: Severe, persistent abdominal pain (possible pancreatitis) Signs of allergic reaction: rash, swelling of face or throat, difficulty breathing Chest pain, severe palpitations, or irregular heartbeat Severe dehydration from vomiting or diarrhoea Symptoms of hypoglycaemia if you also have diabetes and take insulin or sulfonylureas: confusion, sweating, tremor, rapid heartbeat Regular monitoring schedule : Patients taking both medications should have thyroid function tests every 68 weeks after significant weight loss or dose changes, then annually once stable
That is as much as we can tell right now, which is reassuring, Hernandez-Diaz said
In rare cases, some people may experience more serious side effects, including: Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) Gallbladder problems Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), especially if taking other medications like insulin If you experience any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical advice immediately
If youre taking a GLP-1 for well-managed Type 2 diabetes, you may face additional scrutiny regarding blood sugar control
