Most side effects are gastrointestinal. A few symptoms mean you stop scrolling and get local care.
Nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and feeling uncomfortably full are the complaints that fill follow-up. Smaller meals and less grease help a lot of people. They do not help everyone. Constipation also makes the scale lie, which is a miserable way to judge a week.
Fatigue early on is common enough to mention. So is a lack of interest in food that slides into not eating protein. Say so. Losing strength and calling it progress is a bad trade.
Severe abdominal pain, vomiting you cannot keep up with, signs you are drying out, or swelling and trouble breathing are not a portal message. Use urgent or emergency care where you live. Tell the Thrivelab clinician after you are safe.
The medicine can wait. A plan should change after an event like that, not resume because the shipment already arrived.
Pancreas history, gallbladder history, stomach disease, pregnancy plans, other medicines that slow the gut, and any GLP-1 you already use. That is not a complete list of reasons to avoid the drug. It is the history that changes the visit.
Hiding a detail because you want the prescription puts the risk on you. The form is not a negotiation. The label on what you are dispensed is the full safety document. This article is not.
