Summary

This study tests whether taking probiotics can reduce digestive side effects like nausea and diarrhea in people starting weight-loss drugs such as semaglutide or tirzepatide. Fifty adults with obesity will take either a probiotic capsule or a placebo daily for 26 weeks. The goal is to see if probiotics help maintain a better quality of life during the first few months of treatment.
