If you are taking or considering GLP 1 weight loss injections in Mumbai or Khar, side effects are usually the first concern. Online stories often sound alarming, but the reality in clinic is far more measured when these medications are used correctly.

Let’s separate what is expected, what needs attention, and how to reduce discomfort safely.


Why GLP 1 injections cause side effects

These medications slow stomach emptying and reduce appetite signaling. That is exactly how they help with weight loss, but it is also why digestive symptoms can appear.


Side effects usually happen when:

  • dosing is increased too quickly

  • hydration and protein intake drop

  • people eat large or greasy meals despite low appetite


Common side effects that are usually manageable

These are frequently seen during the first few weeks or after dose changes.

  • mild nausea

  • bloating or reflux

  • constipation

  • reduced appetite leading to low energy

Most of these improve with small adjustments.


Practical ways to reduce side effects

In our Mumbai and Khar consultations, these strategies help most patients.

Eat smaller, slower meals

Stop eating at the first sign of fullness. Overeating on GLP 1s is a common trigger for nausea.

Prioritise protein early

Low appetite often means people skip protein. This leads to weakness and muscle loss. Protein first, always.

Hydration is non negotiable

Dehydration worsens nausea, constipation, and fatigue. Many people underestimate this.

Dose progression matters

Starting low and increasing slowly reduces side effects dramatically. Chasing faster weight loss backfires.

Constipation and digestive discomfort

Constipation is one of the most common complaints.

What helps:

  • consistent water intake

  • fibre from vegetables, not supplements alone

  • gentle daily movement

  • avoiding long gaps between meals

Ignoring constipation only makes symptoms worse over time.

Fatigue and low energy

Fatigue is usually not the drug itself. It is often:

  • low calorie intake

  • low electrolytes

  • inadequate protein

  • poor sleep

This is why weight loss injections should never be used in isolation without lifestyle planning.

When side effects are not normal

Seek medical advice if you experience:

  • persistent vomiting

  • severe abdominal pain

  • dizziness or fainting

  • inability to keep fluids down

These are not symptoms to push through.

Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Retatrutide differences

All GLP based medications can cause similar side effects. The difference lies in intensity and tolerance.

The aesthetic side effect people forget

Rapid weight loss can affect:

  • facial volume

  • skin firmness

  • body contours
