Upper and/or lower gastrointestinal adverse events with glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists: <scp>I</scp> ncidence and consequences

Abstract

Gastrointestinal AEs were less frequent with exenatide once weekly vs exenatide twice daily or liraglutide, and combined upper and lower events occurred less often. Gastrointestinal AEs were typically mild and occurred early. Gastrointestinal AEs did not affect glycaemic control but may be associated with greater weight loss.
