Ileus
What the FDA labels record as adverse events, each one tied back to the evidence it came from.
What is Ileus?
Functional bowel obstruction, added to Section 6.2 of every GLP-1 label in 2023.
The evidence pulls both ways: Sodhi's JAMA 2023 cohort found HR 4.22 for bowel obstruction, while the Ueda Scandinavian cohort in 2024 found HR 0.83. ⚠ Anyone quoting one of those without the other is arguing rather than informing.
GLP Watchdog writes these definitions from FDA labels and peer-reviewed PubMed literature.
