The exendin-4 treatment has been shown to reduce cocaine self-administration, suggesting that the GLP-1 system may be a novel target of drug addiction (Sorensen et al., 2015)

In most patients, symptoms resolved within a month after discontinuing the drug

Additionally, the growing cases of cardiovascular diseases and obesity are also contributing to their increased demand for GLP-1 drugs

When to seek medical advice: If you experience muscle pain, weakness, or dark urine whilst taking statins (potential signs of myopathy) If severe, persistent abdominal pain occurs whilst on GLP-1 therapy (potential pancreatitis) If cholesterol reduction is not achieved despite treatment adherence Before stopping or changing any prescribed medication If you develop new symptoms or side effects from any therapy Patients should discuss their individual cardiovascular risk profile and treatment options with their GP or specialist
