"I was on semaglutide from Henry Meds for about 6 months and lost only 3 pounds
Factors that may influence perioperative management include: Medication characteristics : Daily GLP-1 medications (liraglutide, oral semaglutide) have shorter durations of action than weekly formulations (injectable semaglutide, dulaglutide, exenatide extended-release) [3] Risk factors : Higher doses, recent dose increases, active gastrointestinal symptoms, or known gastroparesis may increase risk [1] [3] Procedure type : More complex surgeries or those requiring general anaesthesia may warrant different approaches than minor procedures Individual patient factors : BMI, presence of diabetes, and other medical conditions Some anaesthetists may recommend temporarily pausing GLP-1 therapy before certain procedures, particularly for patients with additional risk factors
At a separate -arrestin recruitment pathway at GLP-1R, reta E_max = 40% of native (partial / biased agonism), tirzepatide partial in the same direction, semaglutide full at both pathways
Because both sit in the GLP-1 receptor agonist space, the underlying pharmacology is identical regardless of which logo is on the portal
