Im just starting the 0. 6 myself,, I am constipated on a regular basis so I was hopeing that it would change with the victozia..I would check with your doctor to make sure the stomach problems you are having are not from the injection,, I take a herbal tea called senna ,from the health food store, it doesnt give me cramps and works well for me everytime,, if I didnt use that I wouldnt go at all or very little,, just check with your doctor to be safe,, I have two days to go till I have to increase..I hope we both do well on this,,, take care,, ps,, little finger problem , Im not yelling , lol
I took Vic for two years and had surprising constipation 3-4 times. Doc said it was uncommon but reported. Colace.
