I am experiencing constipation as a side effect of Wegovy

Some patients may experience constipation as a side effect. 


Simple lifestyle changes can help manage this:
Increase fluid intake: Staying hydrated helps.
More fibre in your diet: Include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, beans and pulses to promote regular bowel movements.
Stay active: Regular movement encourages better gut health.

If constipation persists for over 7 days, consult your pharmacist for advice about a suitable fibre supplement, or your doctor for further assessment.
