Wester continued, Given that the metabolic syndrome is a major driver of liver-related outcomes both in patients with MASLD and other chronic liver diseases such as alcohol-related liver disease or viral hepatitis C, there could be a similar effect of GLP1 agonists in patients with chronic liver diseases of any etiology with concomitant metabolic traits, such as type 2 diabetes. Using data from the Decoding the Epidemiology of LIVER disease Swedish cohort, researchers aimed to determine the long-term risk for major adverse liver outcomes (MALO) among patients with chronic liver disease and type 2 diabetes who either initiated (n = 1,026) or did not initiate (n = 15,633) GLP1 agonists
Despite the scientific studies concerning GLP-1 drugs, prior to 2024 nothing in the Warnings and Precautions sections for healthcare professionals in the product monographs for Ozempic, Mounjaro or Trulicity acknowledged gastroparesis or delayed stomach emptying as a side effect of any of the drugs
