These drugs fall within two categories: human GLP-1 backbone agents (that is, albiglutide, dulaglutide, liraglutide and semaglutide) and exendin-4 backbone agents (that is, exenatide, lixisenatide and tirzepatidethe latter activating both GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors) 1
Data source, study protocol and patient selection Data for this investigation were accessed through the TriNetX Analytics platform, a global collaborative health research network widely used in numerous prominent epidemiological studies (Supplementary appendix) 43,44,45
Fatigue during tirzepatide treatment may relate to caloric restriction from appetite suppression rather than a direct drug effect
Knowing which foods to avoid on tirzepatide and foods to avoid on semaglutide reduces GI side effects significantly
Additionally, the FDA has identified cases of fraudulent compounded products with false labeling, including labels listing pharmacy names of facilities that did not actually compound the products
