Serious and unexpected events are the ones to document and report. Serious means hospitalization-level serious. Unexpected means not in the drug's known profile. Both together warrant official reporting.

Persistent vomiting and the threshold for seeking help

This follows post #6 rather than contradicting it.
Allergic reactions: true allergy (anaphylaxis, severe rash) is rare with these peptide compounds but possible. Distinguishing true allergy from GI intolerance matters.

I disagree with the reply above, and I think the disagreement is substantive rather than terminological.
The distinction being drawn does not survive when you look at the published data for this specific question. I would be glad to be shown wrong on this, because the version I am arguing against is more convenient.

I read post #29 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.
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.

policy_reader, post #61: post #60 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit. Allergic reactions: true allergy (anaphylaxis, severe rash) is rare with these peptide compounds but possible. Distinguishing true allergy from GI intolerance matters. Go to post
Coming back to post #69, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

f.rasmussen, post #68: Coming back to post #66, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer. Severe gastrointestinal events: persistent vomiting, abdominal pain out of proportion, or signs of bowel obstruction warrant urgent evaluation. Mild nausea and constipation are ordinary; severe versions are not. Go to post
Reporting to regulatory agencies: if you have had a serious event, reporting it to the regulatory agency in your country can help with signal detection across the population.
Psychological adverse events: mood changes, anxiety, or suicidal ideation warrant discussion with a mental health professional. These are rare but real.
