Liraglutide, a human glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, decreases glycosylated hemoglobin and causes weight loss. However, the cost of therapy and gastrointestinal side- effects such as nausea and diarrhea are important impediments to adherence and long-term compliance. We assessed the efficacy, safety and tolerability of low dose (0.6 mg) liraglutide in obese uncontrolled longstanding type 2 diabetes in Indian patients. Low dose liraglutide improved glycemic control and decreased weight. However, there was a significant drop out because of gastrointestinal intolerance and financial constraints.
利拉鲁肽是一种人胰高血糖素样肽-1受体激动剂,可降低糖化血红蛋白并导致体重减轻。然而,治疗成本以及诸如恶心和腹泻等胃肠道副作用是妨碍坚持治疗和长期依从性的重要因素。我们评估了低剂量(0.6毫克)利拉鲁肽对印度肥胖的、未得到控制的长期2型糖尿病患者的疗效、安全性和耐受性。低剂量利拉鲁肽改善了血糖控制并减轻了体重。然而,由于胃肠道不耐受和经济限制,出现了显著的退出情况。
