Providers may prescribe compounded medications in certain cases to address patient-specific needs or when commercially available medications are not appropriate or available

Research has identified multiple pathways through which semaglutide impairs normal stomach function: Direct inhibition of gastric motility through vagus nerve modulation Disruption of gastric pacemaker cells that coordinate stomach contractions Impaired gastric accommodation in the fundus and body regions Antral hypomotility preventing proper food grinding and propulsion Dysregulation of pyloric sphincter relaxation blocking stomach emptying Alterations in small intestinal motility affecting the entire digestive process Clinical data reveals that up to 75% of patients with normal gastric emptying before receiving GLP-1 agonists developed delayed gastric emptying after treatment initiation, with some studies showing 30% experiencing severe delays qualifying as gastroparesis
