How can I prevent or reduce vomiting while on GLP-1 medications?

Vomiting is less common than nausea but can occur, especially with rapid dose escalation or if you eat too much too quickly. Prevention strategies include following the recommended titration schedule, eating small portions, and stopping when you feel 80% full. Avoid lying down for at least 2 hours after eating, and steer clear of foods that are high in fat, sugar, or strong odors.

If you do vomit, focus on hydration with small sips of water, clear broths, or electrolyte solutions. Avoid solid foods until nausea subsides, then gradually reintroduce bland foods like toast, rice, or bananas. If vomiting persists for more than 24 hours, prevents you from keeping fluids down, or is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately as dehydration and other complications can develop quickly.
