If a drug has a boxed warning it means it carries risks of severe harm or death

Additionally, incretin therapies can have overbearing negative side effects including hypoglycaemia (often in combination with other glucose-lowering treatments), nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal upset (including diarrhoea) and injection site reactions that contribute to therapy discontinuation (Trujillo et al., 2021)

Triple agonists combining GLP 1, GIP and glucagon receptor activity represent another frontier with early data suggesting these may produce even greater weight loss and metabolic improvements

Comparator Selection : Many trials use placebo comparisons rather than active comparators, limiting understanding of relative effectiveness compared to existing obesity treatments
