A well-characterized profile, with real warnings
Liraglutide has the longest safety record of any GLP-1 drug, roughly 15 years of use, so its side effects are unusually well mapped. Most are gastrointestinal and fade with titration, but the label also carries a boxed warning for thyroid tumors and cautions about pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and kidney injury.
This unit separates the common-but-manageable from the rare-but-serious, walks the contraindications and interactions, and closes with an honest ceiling. The goal is a calibrated view: neither alarmist about a well-studied drug nor dismissive of genuine, labeled risks.
