What can I take for GLP-1 nausea?

Updated 2026-07-25

Most GLP-1 nausea is mild and tends to ease after the first few weeks, and it often flares around dose increases. Simple, low-risk habits can help: eat smaller and blander meals, eat slowly, and stay hydrated. If nausea is severe, keeps you from holding down food or fluids, or isn't improving, talk to your prescriber about how to manage it and whether to adjust your dose. Don't add over-the-counter or prescription anti-nausea products on your own without checking with your provider first.
