GI side effects reduce oral intake while GLP-1 therapy begins—fluid deficit develops faster than patients notice during busy workdays. Always consult a qualified endocrinologist, internal medicine specialist, or cardiologist for personalised decisions. Kesho provides drug-class education only—not prescribing advice. Verify CDSCO approval and Schedule H prescriptions at licensed Indian pharmacies before every refill.

Document HbA1c, waist circumference, and weight trends for follow-up visits in metro and tier-2 Indian practice. ## How does Indian summer amplify the risk? April–June heatwaves across North and Central India increase insensible losses—air-conditioned office workers still need deliberate hydration schedules.
