Obesity: essential context

Keep the essential context with the question

If prescribed Wegovy, follow its Medication Guide: stop using it and call your healthcare provider right away for severe abdominal pain that will not go away, with or without nausea or vomiting. Persistent vomiting or diarrhoea, or severe stomach problems, also needs prompt medical contact. For a serious allergic reaction, stop using it and get medical help immediately; sudden mouth, tongue or throat swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, or fainting with inability to wake warrants local emergency services. Other treatments have their own instructions. This is not a complete product-safety guide or a recommendation to use Wegovy. [ob-label] [ob-anaphylaxis]

Apart from the urgent medicine-specific instructions above, do not stop or change prescribed treatment based on this educational information. Essential safety and evidence limits remain public. Clinical decisions belong with the appropriately qualified care team. [ob-support]
