The following table describes GLP-1 receptor agonists, their dosing frequency and key pharmacokinetic parameters: Cautions and Contraindications Adverse Effects Acute pancreatitis (rare) Injection site reactions Gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea dehydration and possible renal impairment) Increase in pancreatic enzymes: lipase and amylase (dulaglutide, tirzepatide and semaglutide) Cholecystitis and cholelithiasis Delayed gastric emptying (semaglutide, exenatide, dulaglutide, tirzepatide (diminishes over time)) Increased heart rate Diabetic retinopathy complications (semaglutide, particularly in insulin-treated patients with known diabetic retinopathy) Interactions GLP-1 receptor agonists do not interact via cytochrome P450 , but delayed gastric emptying may alter drug absorption

1-2 weeks Appetite and cravings start to decrease 2-6 weeks Noticeable weight loss begins 4-8 weeks Insulin sensitivity improves 3-6 months Testosterone levels begin to drop, and periods become more regular 3-12 months Fertility markers start to improve Even if you decide to take a GLP-1 medication, changing your lifestyle and habits are still essential to see long-term success with balancing your hormones, naturally supporting GLP-1 production, and weight loss
Studies show that approximately two-thirds of the weight lost on GLP-1 therapy is regained within one year of discontinuation if no other interventions are in place
