While most of our sample (60.6%) indicate they have never used a GLP-1 medication, 12.0% said they are currently using a GLP-1 medication, and 7.9% said they utilized a GLP-1 drug previously

Common adverse effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists include: Gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation)usually mild to moderate and often diminishing over time Injection site reactions Headache Fatigue More serious but rare adverse effects have been identified, including: Pancreatitis patients should seek urgent medical advice for severe, persistent abdominal pain (with or without vomiting) Gallbladder disease symptoms include upper right abdominal pain and jaundice Diabetic retinopathy complications particularly with rapid HbA1c reduction in patients with pre-existing retinopathy Dehydration and acute kidney injury from persistent gastrointestinal symptoms When combined with sulfonylureas or insulin, GLP-1 receptor agonists increase the risk of hypoglycaemia
The insufficient in vivo studies on semaglutide and limited in vitro research raise concerns about the imperative for more comprehensive investigations into its effects
