[13] [16] Gallbladder disease risk is increased with GLP-1 receptor agonists, particularly at weight-loss doses and longer treatment durations
"As the science evolves, we are achieving a deeper understanding of how weight loss, and treatment with these medications, can improve outcomes across diverse patient populations with obesity." A secondary analysis of the SUMMIT trial looked at the effect of tirzepatide on cardiac structure and function in 106 patients from the main SUMMIT study with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity
This complementary action enables greater HbA1c reductions than either agent alone, with clinical trials demonstrating additive effects on glycemic control
