Side effects
Stomach pain on a GLP-1. What helps.
- Mild cramping often eases with smaller, lower-fat meals and more water.
Call your doctor if: Any pain that is severe, keeps getting worse, or sits under your right ribs or in your upper belly.
Don't change or skip a dose on your own. If side effects are hard to live with, ask your prescriber; they can adjust your plan.
Get urgent care for severe stomach pain that won't go away (it may spread to your back), vomiting so you can't keep fluids down, fainting, signs of an allergic reaction, or a lump or swelling in your neck.
General self-care, based on the 2025 GLP-1 nutrition advisory and the medicines' patient information. Not medical advice.
