New AI-based research reveals GLP-1 side effects missed in clinical trials
Researchers at Penn Engineering used AI to analyze 400,000 Reddit posts and found that GLP-1 users reported side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and menstrual irregularities. The study suggests that some side effects may be missed in clinical trials.
Researchers at Penn Engineering analyzed 400,000 Reddit posts using AI to identify side effects of GLP-1, a medication used for weight loss and diabetes management. They found 70,000 comments related to side effects, including common ones like nausea and vomiting, as well as less common ones like menstrual irregularities and temperature-related symptoms. The study's findings were consistent with comments received on an NBC 10 Facebook page, where people reported side effects like hair loss, diarrhea, and extreme exhaustion. The researchers hope that their study will encourage further investigation into the side effects of GLP-1. They are now looking into an experimental weight loss drug called Retatrutide, which is not yet approved for use. The AI-based research highlights the potential for social media analysis to identify previously unreported side effects.
