Headaches are a very common side effect that can occur in more than 1 in 10 users of GLP-1 treatments. They usually subside within a few days but can also last for several weeks.
To relieve headaches, you can take the following measures:
Stay hydrated. Drink enough clear fluids such as water or herbal teas.
Rest. Relax in a quiet, darkened room to alleviate symptoms.
Use simple pain relievers. Medications like acetaminophen can help with pain while your body adjusts to Wegovy or Mounjaro.
Relaxation techniques. Meditation or simple massages can be beneficial.
Sleep about 7 to 9 hours each night
If your headaches persist or worsen, please contact your primary care physician for further support.
