Although emerging therapies such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues (e.g., semaglutide) and dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., tirzepatide) have received clinical approval for obesity management, substantial demand persists for alternative or adjunctive therapies employing distinct mechanisms
However, stopping treatment can lead to a return of appetite and changes in blood sugar control, which some people notice as symptoms rather than true withdrawal
Every medication prescribed is FDA-approved and dispensed through licensed pharmacies or manufacturer-direct programs
Disproportionality signals for IGE All five GLP-1RAs had statistically significant reporting odds ratios (RORs) for IGE: Semaglutide: ROR 24.8 Dulaglutide: ROR 14.7 Liraglutide: ROR 13.7 Exenatide: ROR 5.4 Tirzepatide: ROR 18.3 This analysis confirms that these drugs are significantly more likely to be reported in conjunction with IGE compared to other medications
Rotate both within a region (e.g., different areas of the abdomen) and between regions (e.g., abdomen to thigh)
