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
