Male sexual problems linked to GLP-1 receptor agonist medications: analysis of safety report data

AI simplified

Abstract

Among 182 cases identified, 43.9% involved patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists for diabetes.

  • GLP-1 receptor agonists are linked to reported instances of male sexual dysfunction, including orgasmic dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, and decreased libido.
  • The majority of affected patients were aged 40-60 years.
  • Exenatide was associated with 24.2% of reports, while semaglutide accounted for 21.4%.
  • Statistically significant results were noted (P < 0.0001), but the overall association with sexual dysfunction is considered weak based on low reporting odds ratios.
  • Monitoring of GLP-1 receptor agonist use may be necessary as their prescription increases, despite the low overall patient risk.
