MOTS-c

What is common, what is less so, and what to do if something is out of the ordinary.

What most people notice

A small injection-site reaction that clears on its own.

What can also happen

Mild fatigue or dizziness, especially in the first few days.
An increase in pulse or palpitations, occasionally reported.
Disturbed sleep.

To reduce these effects

Do not bring injections closer together.
Change the injection site every time.
Drink water regularly.
Do not add another product that raises the pulse without talking to a healthcare professional first.

When to talk to a professional

With this product, especially if you notice:

A feeling of being unwell with sweating or shaking, especially if you take medication for diabetes.
Palpitations that last.
A skin reaction that spreads.
Fever after the injection.

If a symptom is severe, lingers or worries you, stop the product and talk to a healthcare professional. An immediate reaction after the injection, such as trouble breathing or swelling of the face, needs medical care right away.

Specific to this product

It is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or with an active or recent cancer.
With a diabetes medication, the effects on blood sugar can add up: talk to your doctor first.
