Dolores Catania Teams Up with Advanced Herbals®, from the Makers of Dramamine®, to Launch The Dish on GLP-1s Content Series and Tackle One of the Most Common Complaints from GLP-1 Users: Nausea

Advanced Herbals^® and the reality TV star are sharing new, original content aimed to help the majority (64%) of GLP-1 users who wish they had more education about the medications' side effects 

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Side effects can crash the GLP-1 party – and most people aren't prepared for it. A survey commissioned by Advanced Herbals^®, from the makers of Dramamine^®, and Fleet^® revealed that nausea and constipation are among the most common side effects reported by GLP-1 users, affecting 42% and 29% respectively – often without warning. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of GLP-1 users surveyed wished they had received more education about side effects prior to starting treatment, and 61% of users agreed the symptoms were more real than they had anticipated, indicating a potential gap in knowledge around GLP-1 side effects.

To address the information gap and empower GLP-1 users with ongoing support during their health journeys, Advanced Herbals^® is partnering with reality TV star Dolores Catania, to debut a new content series: "The Dish on GLP-1s." As a GLP-1 advocate who has spoken openly about her ups and downs with the medications, Catania is getting real about the one side effect that nearly derailed her progress and why she has used Advanced Herbals^® Ginger Chews to help address her side effects – because nausea doesn't come with a heads up.

"When I first started my wellness journey with GLP-1 medications, I was prepared for weight loss and I was ready to feel different, but the nausea? No one prepared me for that," said Dolores Catania. "It really impacted my day-to-day life, but at the time no one was having these open, honest conversations about GLP-1 use – there was still a lot of stigma and speculation."

Real Talk + Real Expertise
The series, which debuted today on Dramamine.com/TheDishonGLP1, Instagram and YouTube, features candid conversations between Catania and Dr. Holly Lofton, a Board Certified Obesity Medicine Physician at NYU Langone. Dr. Lofton offers professional expertise, and Dolores Catania gets candid about her experiences as they unpack the real-life impact of GLP-1 side effects. Together, the two offer support and smart, stigma-free solutions, including how Advanced Herbals^® Ginger Chews, with a clinically tested dose of ginger to help relieve nausea from morning sickness, motion sickness and upset stomach, may help individuals with nausea associated with their GLP-1 journey*.

"GLP-1 medications work by slowing the rate at which the stomach empties, helping users feel full longer and ultimately consume fewer calories, but this mechanism can also lead to symptoms like nausea, bloating and constipation," said Dr. Holly Lofton. "These early symptoms and side effects can ultimately derail proper use of the drug or even deter potential new patients. That's why non-prescription, convenient options, like Advanced Herbals^® Ginger Chews for nausea and Fleet^® Stimulant Oral Laxatives for constipation, can be helpful tools in managing these common side effects."

The series will air weekly across Dramamine's social platforms, offering relatable, expert-backed insights meant to inform, empower and resonate with the growing community of GLP-1 users looking for information on their wellness journeys. Follow @DramamineOfficial to learn more.

"As some of the most common symptoms of GLP-1 medications, nausea and constipation have proven to be jarring and disruptive for GLP-1 users," said Erica Nesbitt, Associate Marketing Director at Prestige Consumer Health. "All indicators point to increased accessibility and continued use of GLP-1 medications, so we saw an opportunity with Fleet^® Oral Laxatives, Liquid Glycerin Suppositories and Advanced Herbals^® Ginger Chews to help support those on a journey to improve their health."
