While this side effect is uncommon, it is important to understand why it might happen
Treat high-cost drugs similarly regardless of the condition they treat : It is not right to cover GLP-1 drugs for diabetes but not for obesity
5 Pharmacological effects of GIP, GLP-1 and their mimetics The pharmacological benefits of GIP, GLP-1, and their synthetic mimetics arise from their pleiotropic effects, encompassing at least five key functions: bolstering insulin secretion and survival of pancreatic -cells and modulating glucagon release by the pancreatic -cells in response to glycemic levels, acting on the satiety center in brain, slowing gastric emptying, regulating lipid and glucose metabolism through effects on adipose tissue and liver, and reducing systemic blood pressure
Dulaglutide showed non-inferiority to liraglutide for HbA 1c reduction at week 26
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that stimulates insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, and slows gastric emptying to control blood glucose in type 2 diabetes
