Questions for your prescriber or pharmacist
- Would an extended-release form, or a different pain medicine, suit me better while I am on Wegovy?
- Which bowel regimen should I start now, before constipation builds up?
- Should my sodium be checked while I take tramadol, and when?
- If pain relief feels slow after a Wegovy dose increase, what should I do instead of taking an extra dose?
- Do any of my other medicines raise the seizure or serotonin risk with tramadol?
- What should I tell the surgical and anesthesia team about Wegovy and my pain medicines?
