| Core Tip |
Cotadutide, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1/glucagon receptor agonist, effectively lowers glycated hemoglobin and body weight in people with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity. A meta-analysis of nine randomized controlled trials reveals modest reductions in blood sugar and weight compared to the placebo, with efficacy similar to that of active comparators. Common side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, constipation, decreased appetite) without an excess risk of serious adverse events. Continued use should weigh the benefits of glucose and weight control against the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Cotadutide’s safety and long-term outcomes require further research; however, it shows promise as a potential therapeutic option for metabolic disorders. |
