How This Tool Works
Data Source
All prevalence rates and duration data are sourced directly from peer-reviewed clinical trial publications and FDA prescribing information — not anecdotes or forums.
Drug vs. Placebo
The tool shows both the medication rate and the placebo rate so you can see the net drug effect. Some symptoms occur in up to 16% of placebo recipients too.
What It Cannot Do
This tool cannot diagnose conditions or predict your individual experience. Symptom severity varies widely. Always consult your prescriber if you are concerned.
When to Contact Your Healthcare Provider
- ●Severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhea causing dehydration
- ●Severe abdominal pain (may indicate pancreatitis — seek emergency care)
- ●Signs of low blood sugar (sweating, shakiness, confusion) if also on insulin or sulfonylureas
- ●Vision changes, chest pain, or shortness of breath
- ●Any symptom that significantly interferes with daily activities
- ●Symptoms that do not improve after 4–6 weeks at a stable dose
