00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:03.220
Alright, so you're one of the lucky ones that got to start as epic and now you're having

2
00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:04.220
side effects.

3
00:00:04.220 --> 00:00:07.060
So, why does this happen and what can you do to manage?

4
00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:10.700
One of the ways that asymptics works is through a delay in gastric emptying, which means the

5
00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:13.980
way that food moves throughout your digestive system is slowed down.

6
00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:18.580
One of the main reasons why you can experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and other

7
00:00:18.580 --> 00:00:19.580
things.

8
00:00:19.580 --> 00:00:23.940
Things that you can do to help manage these symptoms, eat smaller meals, drink clear liquids

9
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:29.540
with every meal, increase the length of time between meal times, avoid greasy, high-fat,

10
00:00:29.540 --> 00:00:31.140
fried spicy foods.

11
00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:36.300
You can also take over-the-counter medication for the symptoms of indigestion, take things

12
00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:39.460
like pepsid or gasex, make sure you check with your doctor.

13
00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:43.260
Another thing you can do is ask if you can stay at the lower dose for a few more weeks

14
00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:44.900
to give your body more time to adjust.

15
00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:46.540
So, talk to your doctor and I hope that helps.
