Nervous about Ozempic. We've ranked the top five first week side effects and their fixes, so you're ready. Number Five: Sulfur Burps.

Slower digestion means more gas and this gas tastes like rotten eggs. Stay hydrated and try peppermint or ginger tea. Number Four: Constipation.

Feeling bloated is common. Drink more water and eat fiber rich foods to keep things moving. Number Three: Diarrhea.

If you experience loose stools, remember to stick to bland foods. And again drink more water. Number Two: Vomiting.

You might throw up if you overeat. Remember to eat smaller meals and eat slowly. Ice chips and ginger candies can soothe the stomach.

And at Number One: Nausea, the most common first week side effect. Luckily, it's usually temporary. Nibble on crackers and eat smaller, more frequent meals.

HOT TIP: Once you get through the first week, typically the side effects go away. Visit FindMyGLP 1.com to find the lowest GLP one prices. Week one is tough, but you're tougher.
