Abstract

O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar as principais repercussões adversas dos agonistas dos receptores para o peptídeo 1 semelhante ao glucagon (GLP-1). Esta revisão narrativa de literatura foi elaborada de acordo com as recomendações da Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Statement (PRISMA). A estratégia de busca [ (GLP[Title]) AND (side[Title] OR adverse[Title] OR complication[Title]) ] foi utilizada para identificar artigos na base de dados PubMed. Foram incluídos apenas estudos publicados a partir do ano de 2015, em português ou inglês, com disponibilidade do texto completo gratuito. Os artigos foram triados conforme os critérios de elegibilidade pré-determinados. Apesar dos avanços científicos, efeitos adversos como náuseas, vômitos e constipação são frequentes e podem levar à descontinuação do tratamento. Dados revelam relatos de tontura, tremores, disgeusia e alterações do humor, como ansiedade, depressão e ideação suicida, especialmente com o uso de Liraglutida e Semaglutida. A maioria dos efeitos adversos surge no primeiro mês de uso e, embora raros, requerem vigilância clínica. Outro aspecto relevante diz respeito aos eventos otorrinolaringológicos, como disgeusia, sinusite, faringite e zumbido, com maior frequência relatada em usuários de Semaglutida. O uso expandido dessas medicações, inclusive por indivíduos sem indicação formal, reforça a importância do monitoramento contínuo e da realização de estudos longitudinais para melhor compreensão do perfil de segurança a longo prazo.
