Semaglutide can cause acute pancreatitis in some people

Does Semagulide cause pancreatitis?

It's rare, but semaglutide can cause acute pancreatitis in some people.

According to the patient information leaflet, this only affects about 1 in 100, so about 1% of semaglutide users may experience acute pancreatitis.

When taking semaglutide, it can sometimes be difficult to tell if you're experiencing common side effects or if you're developing pancreatitis.

This is because the drug and the condition share some of the same symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and indigestion.

However, with pancreatitis, you may also experience severe pain in your stomach and back that won't go away.

On top of that, you may also have an elevated temperature, jaundice, and possibly a rapid heartbeat.

If you do experience any symptoms of acute pancreatitis while taking semaglutide, you should seek emergency medical help.

If your GP surgery is open, you should try to see your own doctor, but otherwise, call 111 for urgent advice.

It's important to remember that most people who take semaglutide will not experience acute pancreatitis, but you still have to be aware of the symptoms so you can act quickly to minimize any illness should it occur.

Does semaglutide cause thrush?

Thrush is not mentioned as a side effect in any form of Semaglutide's official documentation, so it shouldn't be a problem for most people.

However, people with type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of thrush due to elevated blood sugar levels.

If you do experience thrush while taking semaglutide for sale, you should talk to your local pharmacist about possible treatments you might use.

Most treatments for thrush do not require a prescription.

Genital thrush is more common in women than in men for a variety of reasons, so it could be your underwear, scented hygiene products, or even bath bombs in some cases that could be to blame for a yeast infection.

However, if you do experience thrush for the first time or more frequently after taking semaglutide, you should talk to your doctor or prescriber in order to determine the cause.
