Abstract
|
|
|
|
Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist used as a treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus, which has been expanded for use at a higher dose in weight control. Therefore, it is necessary to consider adverse reactions of the drug at high doses as well as at lower doses after the indication has been expanded. Body mass index criteria for patients prescribed the drug in the real world tend to be applied less rigorously, which may increase the number of adverse reactions due to over-prescription. Liraglutide treatment was found effective and safe in some studies, while others have warned about its risks. Therefore, this review summarizes the current data available on side effects associated with liraglutide.
