There is no known direct interaction between magnesium supplements and Wegovy (semaglutide). However, both can affect your digestive system. Wegovy slows down how quickly your stomach empties, which could theoretically change how quickly your body absorbs magnesium, though this is rarely a clinical concern. Additionally, both can cause side effects like nausea or changes in bowel habits (magnesium often softens stools, while Wegovy can cause constipation or diarrhoea).

Why this happens
Wegovy is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that delays 'gastric emptying' (the speed at which food and pills leave the stomach). This can alter the timing of absorption for oral supplements like magnesium. There are no shared metabolic pathways or conflicting chemical actions between the two.
What you should do
It is generally safe to take magnesium while using Wegovy. To ensure the best absorption and to avoid any potential stomach upset, you may wish to take your magnesium supplement at a different time of day than when you experience the most side effects from your Wegovy injection. If you experience severe diarrhoea or stomach pain, consult your doctor.

Patient picks for Drug interactions

Can I take Esomeprazole and Trazodone together?
Esomeprazole may reduce the amount of trazodone that your body absorbs. This could potentially make trazodone less effective at treating your symptoms (such as depression or sleep issues). Additionally, both medications can rarely affect the electrical activity of your heart, though this risk is generally low.
