Constipation is a very common side effect of Mounjaro and Wegovy, affecting more than 1 in 10 users. To manage this, you can:
- Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of clear fluids such as water and herbal tea before bed to allow the tea to work by the time you wake up in the morning.
- Eat High-Fiber Foods such as prunes, figs, and oats in your diet.
- Take Regular Walks. Exercise can stimulate bowel movements.
- Try Mild Laxatives. These medications may help with constipation as a short term solution.
Consult your local pharmacist for options and visit the NHS website for more information on dealing with constipation.
