Participants taking semaglutide reported gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea, more often than those taking a placebo
However, the currently available longitudinal evidence on this issue is derived mainly from the general obesity population rather than from PCOS-specific cohorts
That said, there are a few factors that can affect how fast semaglutide starts to work, including: Consistency with treatment Dosage Lifestyle changes, such as following a healthy diet and getting regular exercise Underlying health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes Adherence to treatment One of the factors that affects how fast semaglutide works is your own approach to semaglutide treatment
These include: Nausea (the most common complaint, particularly in the first few weeks) Vomiting Diarrhoea or constipation Decreased appetite (which, while therapeutically desirable, can occasionally be excessive) Abdominal discomfort or bloating Injection-site reactions (such as redness, itching, or mild swelling at the injection site) Headache, dizziness, and fatigue , particularly during early treatment These effects are generally dose-dependent and tend to diminish as the body adjusts to the medication
