The most common GLP-1 side effects are gastrointestinal upset: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation
Semaglutide tends to be the better choice when you have established cardiovascular disease, when you want the longer safety track record, when you prefer or need an oral option, or when you value appetite-focused weight loss support with proven outcome data
These included isolated cases of pancreatitis, prolonged QT syndrome (associated with concomitant medications), and transient elevations in liver enzymes
The maximum dose studied in clinical trials is 12 mg once weekly
GLP-1 agonists arent just for weight loss or diabetes
