Adverse Effects Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and mild injection site reactions
As research in this field continues to evolve, ongoing and future CVOTs will likely expand our knowledge of the cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists, ultimately improving the care and outcomes of individuals with T2D and CVD
