Common and Serious Risks

The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, typically worst during dose titration. Boxed warning: risk of medullary thyroid carcinoma observed in rodent studies, which is why personal/family history of MTC or MEN 2 is an absolute contraindication. Other risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and (rarely) acute kidney injury secondary to dehydration from GI side effects. Pregnancy is contraindicated.

Contraindications

  • personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma
  • MEN 2
  • pancreatitis
