Together, these pathways help regulate appetite, improve energy use, and support healthy blood sugar and fat metabolism.

This medication should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It should also be used cautiously in individuals with a history of pancreatitis or gallbladder disease, or those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN2.
