The drugs mimic a hormone in the body called GLP-1 that triggers an increase in the production of insulin, slows the rate at which food is digested in the stomach, and reduces appetite

When compared with placebo or other therapies, GLP-1 agonists were associated with an increased risk of biliary disease [23]: Overall biliary disease: RR 1.37(95% CI 1.231.52) Cholelithiasis: RR 1.27 (95% CI 1.101.47) Cholecystitis: RR 1.36 (95% CI 1.141.62) Mechanisms: Reduced gallbladder motility Rapid weight loss increased cholesterol saturation and gallstone formation
