What should I do if I experience side effects?

Mild side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation are common, especially in the initial weeks of treatment. To manage these:

  • Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
  • Avoid greasy or overly rich foods.
  • Stay hydrated and consider ginger tea for nausea relief.
  • Increase fibre intake gradually to ease digestive discomfort. If side effects persist or worsen, contact our support team or your prescriber for further guidance.
