The risks and benefits of GLP-1s
Though GLP-1s have helped many people reclaim their health, the drugs aren't without the risks. According to Mayo Clinic, gastrointestinal issues remain among the most commonly reported side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and stomach discomfort. Fatigue, dizziness, headaches and redness or itching around the injection site are also side effects.Other side effects, according to Mayo Clinic, include loss of muscle mass and reduced bone density. Rare but more serious risks are pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, acute kidney injury and thyroid C-cell changes, which have been seen in animal studies.

Mayim Bialik went on a GLP-1. It was a 'nightmare'
Mayim Bialik is sharing her "nightmare" experience on a GLP-1 medication.
In a piece published in The Free Press on June 5, titled "Mayim Bialik: My GLP-1 Nightmare," the "Big Bang Theory" star and former "Jeopardy!"host, 50, opened up about going on a weight-loss medication after a doctor told her it might alleviate her symptoms from Graves' disease, an autoimmune condition.
"I was exhausted from being sick, from the endless parade of specialists, from the diets, the protocols, and the promises," Bialik wrote of her experience with Graves' disease. "Maybe this could be the magic cure."
But it wasn't. Instead, she wrote, the medication gave her intense gastrointestinal issues which made her "too sick to stand, drink water, or think straight." Bialik did not name which specific GLP-1 medication she went on in the piece.
Unfortunately, Bialik isn't alone − for some, GLP-1 medications have caused negative side effects, particularly gastrointestinal issues. Still, the drugs have been lifelines for others, vastly improving their health overall. Here's what Bialik said about her experience and what to know about the pros and cons associated with GLP-1s.
Mayim Bialik went on a GLP-1. For her, it was a nightmare.
Bialik wrote that she was familiar with GLP-1s prior to starting one, thanks to social media advertisements, influencers touting them and a plethora of online services offering compounded versions of the medications.
Bialik wrote that her side effects were intense and gave her deeper empathy for those living with Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis and other gastrointestinal conditions.

There's a big Ozempic controversy brewing online. Doctors say it's the 'wild west.'
The medications, while revolutionary, are not a one-size-fits-all solution, Mayo Clinic says. For those interested in going on a GLP-1, it's crucial to talk to your doctor to get a comprehensive view of your health, assess the risks and decide if this medication is right for you.
However, in an era where so many are clamoring for these drugs − and will do anything to get their hands on them − not everyone is following appropriate medical guidance.
"Even in my social circle, I have friends who (say they) got 'the fat drug' off of a website, and I just rail inside," Dr. Britta Reierson, a board-certified family physician and obesity medicine specialist at the healthcare company Knownwell, previously told USA TODAY. "I'm just seething inside just knowing that A, I know they're not taking it for the right reasons, and B, this might not be safe for them."
Taking Ozempic for weight loss? You might find other benefits, too - and a few risks
A study published last year became the first to catalogue the risks and benefits of GLP-1s. It confirmed that the drugs are associated with a lower risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. People who took them also had fewer seizures and addictions to alcohol, cannabis and opioids.
On the flip side, the study also found GLP-1s are associated with an increased risk of several negative health outcomes and side effects. The most common were the well-known gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and gastroparesis, or stomach paralysis.

NEW YORK, June 6 (Reuters) - Pfizer presented data on Saturday that showed a monthly dose of an experimental obesity drug it acquired through its purchase of Metsera last year had a similar side-effect profile as rival Novo Nordisk's weekly injection Wegovy.

Once people understood glucagonlike peptide 1 (GLP-1) drugs’ potential for weight loss, the race among pharmaceutical companies was on.
