Ileus

What the FDA labels record as adverse events, each one tied back to the evidence it came from.

Definition

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.
