GLP-1 administration successfully prevented glucocorticoid-induced glucose intolerance in healthy men after prednisolone administration (34)
However, upon closer examination using super-resolution microscopy and 3D rendering, true contacts were found to be exceedingly rare
Potential side effects include: Nausea or mild stomach upset Fatigue Headache Gas or changes in bowel movements Low blood sugar (rare) If side effects are prolonged or difficult to tolerate, providers may recommend alternatives such as tirzepatide, which can have a different side effect profile.
Sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management should all receive serious attention before adding pharmacological interventions
With tirzepatide, non-oral contraceptive methods should be considered for 4 weeks after initiation and dose increases due to reduced oral contraceptive efficacy
