Some foods, drinks, medications, and supplements can make Ozempic or Mounjaro harder to tolerate β€” and a few may raise your risk of more serious side effects. If you're dealing with nausea, reflux, constipation, dehydration, or stomach pain, something else in your routine might be making it worse.

In this video, board-certified Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician Dr. Mohammed Paika breaks down 12 things to be careful with on Ozempic or Mounjaro β€” and exactly what to do instead. Drawing on 15+ years as a hospitalist and his own experience with GLP-1 therapy, Dr. Paika walks through the real mechanism behind each risk, the clinical reasoning, and simple fixes you can use starting today.

By the end, you'll know what may worsen side effects, what combinations need extra caution, and how to make your GLP-1 treatment safer and easier to stick with.
