Translations:GLP-1 receptor agonist/16/en

Like insulin, GLP-1 agonists can cause or exacerbate retinopathy, but this is believed to be caused indirectly by a rapid drop in glucose rather than a direct effect. Some patients develop anti-drug antibodies, which are more common with exenatide (the antibodies were detectable in a third or more of patients) than other GLP-1 agonists and can decrease the efficacy of the drug. GLP-1 agonists increase the risk of gallstones when used to induce rapid weight loss.
