Get help rather than waiting until you are home
- Severe stomach pain that will not go away, with or without nausea or vomiting: stop Wegovy and call your healthcare provider right away.[1]
- Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea that does not go away: tell your healthcare provider right away, because losing fluids can cause kidney problems.[1]
- Swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching, very rapid heartbeat, or fainting or feeling dizzy: stop Wegovy and get medical help right away.[1]
