# What should I do if I experience side effects on Wegovy?

Nausea is the most common side effect when starting Wegovy or increasing your dose. To manage this, we recommend eating smaller portions, avoiding greasy foods, and sipping cold water or ginger tea.

If you experience severe or persistent side effects, please contact our Customer Experience team immediately so a clinician can advise you on the best next steps.
