Fasting During Weight Loss Injections

Question

Hello, My wife is at the beginning of a weight loss process due to high weight. She is taking weight loss injections, Wegovy. They cause her side effects such as heartburn, diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea. The question is what should she do during the fast if she feels unwell? Thank you very much.

Answer

During diarrhea and vomiting, one should eat and drink in small measured amounts.
