Other common effects include fatigue (10-15%), headache (10-15%), and increased heart rate (5-10 bpm average increase)
To mitigate this, many doctors begin with a lower dose of GLP-1 and gradually increase it, which can help the body adjust and reduce side effects, says Salhab
And now I had a medication that normalized a hormone for me (about 25% of us Americans have low GLP-1 levels [12])
However, the effects are small compared to prescription medications, the risk of drug interactions is real, and it should never replace proven therapies for diabetes or heart disease
These injuries can be permanent, debilitating, and life-altering
