WhaT ARE GLP-1 MEDICATIONS?

 GLP-1 medications can offer significant benefits for weight loss and blood sugar control, but they may also come with potential risks. Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and digestive issues. In rare cases, they may cause more serious concerns like pancreatitis, kidney problems, or thyroid issues.
