GLP-1-Associated Nausea May Be Linked To Acid Reflux Medicines,

“Use of proton pump inhibitors and histamine-2 receptor antagonists to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease or to counter gastric effects of NSAIDs is a risk factor for nausea and vomiting in adults with type 2 diabetes prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonists,” researchers concluded. In addition, investigators “identified female sex and presence of diabetic retinopathy as risk factors for gastrointestinal adverse events in these patients whether or not they used medications that affect the gastrointestinal tract.” The findings of the 130-adult study were published online in the Journal of Diabetes Investigation. https://www.healio.com/endocrinology/diabetes/news/in-the-journals/%7Bfe541e12-c231-4117-929f-2fd05d97cad7%7D/glp-1-related-nausea-associated-with-acid-reflux-medications
