Can I Get Anti-Nausea Medication?

Nausea Is a Common Side Effect

Nausea is one of the most common side effects when starting GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, especially during the first few weeks or after a dose increase. For most patients, it improves as your body adjusts.

How to Request Anti-Nausea Medication

Your CoreAge Rx provider can prescribe anti-nausea medication (such as ondansetron/Zofran) if needed. Here's how to request it:

1. Log in to your Member Portal
2. Send a message to your provider describing your nausea symptoms
3. Your provider will review your request and, if appropriate, send a prescription to your local pharmacy

Alternatively, you can email support@coreagerx.com and ask to have an anti-nausea prescription request sent to your provider.

Important Details

• Anti-nausea medication is prescribed to a pharmacy near you (not shipped from CoreAge Rx)
• You will pick it up at your local pharmacy
• Standard pharmacy co-pays or costs may apply — this is separate from your CoreAge Rx subscription
• Your provider will determine the appropriate medication and dosage

Tips to Reduce Nausea Without Medication

• Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day
• Avoid fatty, greasy, or heavy foods especially in the first few weeks
• Stay hydrated — sip water, ginger tea, or clear broth
• Inject in the evening so you can sleep through the initial side effects
• Eat bland foods (crackers, toast, rice) if nausea occurs
• Nausea typically improves within the first 2–4 weeks of a new dose
