It stimulates insulin release from the pancreas only when blood sugar is elevated (glucose-dependent), suppresses glucagon secretion (which would otherwise raise blood sugar), slows gastric emptying (making you feel full longer), and acts on the brain to reduce appetite and food cravings. These actions collectively lower blood sugar and support weight loss. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Effects\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCommon side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, constipation, headache, dizziness, and altered taste. These are usually temporary and improve as the body adjusts. Serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis, severe allergic reactions, diabetic retinopathy, kidney problems, and gallbladder disease. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSafety Advice\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Do not use if you or a family member has a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). \u003cbr\u003e Not suitable for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. \u003cbr\u003e Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding — stop at least 2 months before planning conception. \u003cbr\u003e Not recommended for children under 12 years. \u003cbr\u003e Seek immediate help for severe abdominal pain (possible pancreatitis), vision changes, or neck lumps. \u003cbr\u003e Avoid alcohol as it affects blood sugar control. \u003cbr\u003e Requires refrigeration before first use (cold chain product). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStore unused pens in a refrigerator at 2°C–8°C.
