The gastrointestinal cluster as a whole - nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, reflux, early satiety - with trial incidence rates, dropout attributable to GI events, and management evidence.
I have vomited three times in the last ten days, always in the twenty-four to forty-eight hours after my injection, always in the morning, and each time I felt…
Every summary I read says nausea is "the most common adverse event" and then quotes a single percentage, usually without saying which trial, which dose or which…
The nausea followed exactly the pattern I was told to expect: bad for a fortnight after each dose step, better by week four, essentially gone by month five. The…
Eight weeks in on tirzepatide and I cannot work out which of two things is happening, and I think it matters. Version A: my appetite drive is genuinely reduced, food…
Fourteen weeks in, currently at the second-to-top dose, and I have been told repeatedly that the nausea settles. It has not settled. It has changed shape. Weeks 1-6…
I have had slow bowels since starting semaglutide and I have accepted that as the trade. Last week was different and it frightened me: four days with nothing, a hard…
The specifics, since they change the answer: vomiting · survodutide · TRIUMPH-3. I have the document in front of me and I can read the numbers. What I cannot do is…
For reference: vomiting · ecnoglutide. I understand the observation; what I do not understand is the mechanism behind it. I have read the two review articles that…
The specifics, since they change the answer: reflux · nine · cagrilintide. I have read the obvious sources and they disagree with each other, so I would rather ask…
Conditions: constipation · liraglutide · PIONEER-4. The figures are clear enough; the question is what they mean and what they do not. I can supply the numbers if the…
What I am working with: constipation · ten · semaglutide. Everything I have found on this is either a forum aside or a product page, neither of which I trust. I am…
Setup, so nobody has to ask: early satiety · eight · semaglutide. Everything I have found on this is either a forum aside or a product page, neither of which I trust.…
What I am working with: constipation · cagrilintide. I keep seeing this stated as a fact with no explanation attached, and unexplained facts make me suspicious. My…
This came up because two published schedules for the same agent differ. I would like to know the limits of what can be inferred from this. What I am trying to avoid…
Details up front: reflux · orforglipron. I can predict the outcome but I cannot explain it, which means I will get the next case wrong. I would like to know how…
Details up front: vomiting · retatrutide · PIONEER-1. I can parse the result. I am less sure what it licenses me to conclude. I have deliberately not looked at anyone…
What I am working with: headache · a GLP-1 receptor agonist · TRIUMPH-1. I have read the primary source rather than the summary, which has left me with more…
Conditions: headache · six · retatrutide. I have done this once and I suspect I got away with it rather than got it right. For context: I keep records of every batch,…
Stated plainly: early satiety · cagrilintide · SURPASS-2. I have read the primary source rather than the summary, which has left me with more questions. I understand…
For reference: SURMOUNT-OSA · hair thinning · 30 mg. I want to understand what this actually establishes, as opposed to what it is being used to imply. My concern is…
Stated plainly: early satiety · two · survodutide. This is a procedural question rather than a theoretical one, and I would like the procedure rather than the theory.…
What I have: SURMOUNT-4 · early satiety. This is presented as though it settles something, and I am not convinced it does. I have two documents that appear to…
What I am working with: TRIUMPH-3 · injection-site erythema. I would like help reading this properly rather than being told what conclusion to reach. I have the full…
The particulars: STEP 5 · hair thinning · 8 mg. I want to understand what this actually establishes, as opposed to what it is being used to imply. My concern is that…
