GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide are revolutionizing weight loss and diabetes treatment for many men. While these medications are highly effective, it’s essential to be informed about the possible side effects and how they can be managed effectively.
GLP-1s (Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) work by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite. These medications help in weight reduction and blood sugar control, making them a powerful tool in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity.
While most side effects are mild and temporary, it’s important to understand what to expect:
Though uncommon, some men may experience more serious complications:
Symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting may indicate a potential issue, and monitoring these symptoms is crucial, especially if there is a history of gallbladder problems.
Severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever may indicate inflammation of the pancreas, a condition that requires immediate medical attention.
