In a large phase 3 obesity trial (ACHIEVE-1), orforglipron at daily doses of 3, 12 and 36 mg caused approximately: Diarrhoea: 1926% of participants (vs 9% on placebo) Nausea: 1318% (vs 2% on placebo) Constipation: 817% (vs 4% on placebo) Vomiting: 514% (vs 1% on placebo) Across multiple studies, 617% of people stopped treatment because of side effects, mostly gut-related symptoms
The concern is greater for AEDs where the difference between an effective dose and one that causes side effects is small

Due to the active metabolism of neurons, the demand for oxygen is high and a large number of ROS are produced
Weight loss in diabetes trials is typically more modest
