This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

post #31 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

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.

Coming back to post #31, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Concurrent insulin or sulfonylureas: not an absolute contraindication but requires dose adjustment and close monitoring for hypoglycemia. The combination is used with caution, not avoided.

Allergy to the specific compound: true allergy is rare but possible. Any prior allergic reaction to the same compound or to structurally similar peptides warrants caution.

Worth separating two things that post #31 runs together.

Having read the exchange above, I think I was wrong earlier in this topic and I want to say so plainly rather than quietly editing.

The correction was fair and I had been repeating something I had not checked carefully enough.
