On the subject in the title: Absolute versus relative contraindications Working notes rather than a conclusion.
Proposing that absolute versus relative contraindications deserves a maintained page rather than a recurring topic, and drafting the skeleton here so that the argument about scope happens before the writing rather than after.
What I think belongs on it, what does not, and the three claims that would need a citation each.
The section of the product information covering special warnings is usually longer and more useful than the contraindications list itself.
I am reporting what happened, not recommending it.
Post #2 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.
History of pancreatitis: these compounds can rarely trigger pancreatitis. History of pancreatitis increases relative risk. That is a relative contraindication, not absolute, but requires monitoring.
No disagreement from me. Posting only so the question does not look ignored.
Gastroparesis or severe delayed gastric emptying: these compounds slow gastric emptying. Pre-existing severe gastroparesis can be worsened. That is a relative contraindication depending on baseline severity.
Not the whole picture, but the part of it I can speak to.
Agreed on all of that, and I have nothing to add to it.
On post #5 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.
Reading the contraindications section of the actual product information takes two minutes and answers most questions asked here.
