Exenatide is a special medicine that acts like a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. It is often used by people with type 2 diabetes to help control their blood sugar levels. Doctors prescribe this drug because it helps the body release the right amount of insulin when you eat. It comes as an injection, usually given twice a day, to keep sugar levels steady throughout the day. This medicine works in a few important ways to improve health.

First, it tells the pancreas to make more insulin only when blood sugar is high. Second, it helps stop the liver from making too much sugar. Third, it slows down how fast food leaves the stomach, which can make you feel full longer. These actions help lower high blood sugar and can also help some people lose weight. While Exenatide is helpful for diabetes, it is not for everyone and has some risks.

It is not usually the first medicine doctors try for new diabetes patients. Common side effects can include feeling sick to your stomach or having an upset stomach. There is also a rare but serious risk of problems with the pancreas. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions and watch for any signs of feeling very sick or having severe stomach pain.

mg vs mcg: one milligram (mg) equals 1,000 micrograms (mcg) — multiply by 1,000 going from mg to mcg, divide by 1,000 going from mcg to mg. Mixing the two up is a thousand-fold dosing error: 1 mg taken instead of 1 mcg is a 1,000× overdose; 1 mcg instead of 1 mg is a 1,000× underdose. Always double-check the unit label and the decimal place.

Novo Nordisk Receives FDA Approval of OZEMPIC® (semaglutide) Injection For the Treatment of Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

The FDA has approved Novo Nordisk's once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist Ozempic (semaglutide) to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Based on the SUSTAIN Phase 3a clinical trial program involving over 8,000 adults, the drug demonstrated superior A1c reductions compared to sitagliptin and exenatide extended-release, as well as significant weight loss as a secondary benefit. The drug will be available in 0.5 mg and 1 mg pre-filled pen doses.

Gastrointestinal adverse events associated with GLP-1 RA in non-diabetic patients with overweight or obesity: a systematic review and network meta-analysis | International Journal of Obesity

A systematic review and network meta-analysis of 39 studies (33,354 participants) assessed gastrointestinal adverse events of GLP-1 receptor agonists in non-diabetic patients with overweight or obesity. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation were the most common side effects. Orforglipron showed the highest nausea risk, followed by exenatide, tirzepatide, semaglutide, and liraglutide. The differing safety profiles can help clinicians tailor weight-loss therapy choices.
