  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), as a kind of novel hypoglycemic agent, are widely used in patients with type 2 diabetes. GLP-1RAs are effective in glycemic control with low risk of hypoglycemia, significant weight loss, and cardiovascular benefit and renal protection. The most common adverse effects of GLP-1RAs are mild to moderate gastrointestinal symptoms, which generally resolve over time. The use of GLP-1RAs also increases the risk of gallbladder or biliary diseases, especially when used at higher doses, for longer durations, and for weight loss, but the absolute risk of gallbladder or biliary tract disease is small. Clinicians and patients need to carefully weigh the benefits and risks of GLP-1RAs to make decisions for the rational use of GLP-1RAs.
