How would you manage a patient taking a GLP-1 agonist for weight loss who continues to have symptoms (i.e., nausea, vomiting) related to reduced GI motility despite dose adjustments?
Would you anticipate a different side effect profile from a different GLP-1 agonist?

Anecdotally, I’ve had good success using prucalopride at twice-daily dosing (0.5 mg BID or 1 mg BID) in select patients. In my experience, tirzepatide tends to be better tolerated than semaglutide from a gastrointestinal perspective.
