Yes. GLP‑1 medications are considered safe when prescribed by a qualified clinician and taken as directed. They’ve been thoroughly researched, approved for use in the UK, and have already helped millions of people manage their weight and blood sugar.
Like any treatment, side effects can occur - most often nausea, constipation, or fatigue, especially at the beginning. These usually ease as your body adjusts to the medication.
Before starting, your clinician will review your medical history to ensure GLP‑1 treatment is right for you. Be open about your health details so they can prescribe safely and effectively.
