endpoint_margin, post #76: Pancreatitis is a genuine serious adverse event to know: severe epigastric pain, back pain, elevated lipase (≥3× upper limit of normal). If this constellation appears, stopping the drug and seeking urgent evaluation is appropriate. Go to post

How to document: date, exact symptom or event, severity, duration, outcome, any medical attention sought. Detailed documentation is far more useful than a vague report.

bench_notes, post #49: This follows post #46 rather than contradicting it. Psychological adverse events: mood changes, anxiety, or suicidal ideation warrant discussion with a mental health professional. These are rare but real. Go to post

Where to report: in many countries there is a pharmacovigilance system where adverse events can be reported. FDA MedWatch in the US, Yellow Card in UK, EudraVigilance in EU.

Coming back to post #121, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Pancreatitis is a genuine serious adverse event to know: severe epigastric pain, back pain, elevated lipase (≥3× upper limit of normal). If this constellation appears, stopping the drug and seeking urgent evaluation is appropriate.

Acute kidney injury: rare but reported. Symptoms (decreased urine output, creatinine elevation) warrant urgent evaluation. Severe dehydration during weight loss is a risk factor.

Moved from Contraindications by s.leclerc. Category placement is not obvious from outside and getting it wrong is expected. This topic will get better answers here. The move is recorded in the public log citing R7.
