Nausea is a common but nonspecific symptom that can accompany a wide range of conditions - from benign, self‑limited issues such as viral gastroenteritis, food poisoning, motion sickness, or medication side effects, to more serious disorders including bowel obstruction, intracranial pressure changes, cardiac ischemia, or metabolic disturbances. While most cases resolve with conservative care and targeted anti‑emetics, certain “red‑flag” features (vomit containing blood or coffee‑ground material, sudden severe abdominal pain, stiff neck or high fever with headache, new confusion or severe dizziness, or rapid clinical worsening, inability to keep down fluids, scant urine output, signs of dehydration) may indicate a potentially serious underlying process requiring urgent in‑person assessment. If you develop any of these warning signs or your symptoms escalate quickly despite initial treatment, seek immediate evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider or emergency department.

Read the following for more information about this product and its potential side effects:
It is not safe to take these medications while pregnant or breastfeeding. The FDA advises that these medications may pose a risk to a developing fetus. Oral contraceptives alone may not be effective, as the medication can reduce their effectiveness. The FDA specifically recommends continuing oral contraception alongside a barrier method (like condoms) for the first month after starting a weight loss medication and for the first month after any dose increase. Alternatively, you can switch to a non-oral contraceptive method (such as an IUD or implant) before beginning the medication.
After stopping the medication, you should continue using a backup method, such as condoms, for two months to ensure the medication has fully cleared your system before trying to conceive. Additionally, its safety during breastfeeding is unknown, so if you are nursing, consult your doctor to explore safer weight loss options.
