GLP-1 medications can help manage type 2 diabetes and obesity, but they may cause short-term mild-to-moderate side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, and decreased appetite, particularly at the beginning of treatment
Such reactions can range from responses with no clinical manifestations to irritating rashes to life-threatening conditions such as anaphylactic shock, which constricts breathing and impairs motor function
Wash them with soap and hot water, then rinse
A fragrance or flavour that once brought comfort may suddenly become off-putting even long after the nausea has passed
