Is bowel obstruction a potential side effect of liraglutide?

Yes, it is. When administered, liraglutide will act as a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonist, slowing down gastric emptying.

Food or bezoar formations sometimes get lodged in the intestines due to slow gastric emptying. The symptoms include constipation, vomiting, nausea, and abdominal pain. If you experience any of these after using liraglutide, seek treatment immediately.
