Abstract

The risk of nausea from GLP-1 receptor agonists is dose-dependent, with a significance level of P = .0017.

  • Nausea and diarrhoea risks increase with higher doses of GLP-1 receptor agonists.
  • Background treatment with metformin is linked to higher incidences of nausea and vomiting.
  • Lixisenatide shows lower rates of nausea and diarrhoea compared to exenatide b.i.d.
  • Dulaglutide has a similar risk of nausea and vomiting as liraglutide, but lower risks with exenatide q.w. and albiglutide.
  • Long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists may lead to less nausea and vomiting but result in more diarrhoea compared to short-acting ones.
