What is a common adverse effect of both Liraglutide (Saxenda) and Semaglutide (Wegovy)?

  1. Headache

  2. Insomnia

  3. Nausea

  4. Dizziness

The correct answer is: Nausea

Liraglutide (Saxenda) and Semaglutide (Wegovy) are both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists used for the treatment of obesity. One common adverse effect associated with these medications is nausea. This side effect is often transient and tends to improve over time as the body adjusts to the medication. Headache, insomnia, and dizziness are not typically common adverse effects of these medications, making them incorrect choices in this context.
