Compounded products containing semaglutide There are various ways that compounded semaglutide products may differ from approved products [1] [2] that may contribute to potential medication errors
Foods to avoid while on semaglutide can include: Fried foods and foods that are high in unhealthy fats (French fries, fried chicken, many fast foods) Highly processed foods (white bread, processed cereal, pasta) High glycemic fruits and vegetables (bananas, mangos, starchy potatoes) Sugary foods (candy, baked goods, ice cream) Soda and carbonated beverages Excess alcohol and caffeine These foods can contribute to GI distress and rapidly spiking blood sugar when eaten while on a semaglutide
For example, taking your weekly semaglutide injection on a Friday night might allow you to weather any weekend GI side effects at home rather than on a workday
Do not start, stop, or change your medication without consulting your doctor
