The subsequent success of GLP-1 receptor agonists, despite early gastrointestinal intolerance and safety concerns, illustrates how such signals may be manageable through improved formulation and dosing rather than indicative of fundamental biological unsuitability
Dosage and Administration Errors The lack of standardization means there is a much-needed margin of error for dosages, so with this newfound freedom comes the increased possibility of contamination
Unlike GLP-1, GIP has not been found to possess a similar neural signaling mechanism for decelerating gastric emptying (54, 162)
With 50%+ of users discontinuing GLP-1s due to cost and 36% due to side effects, this low and slow approach could potentially help more patients stay on therapy and achieve real results
