Core Tip
Core Tip: This systematic review assessed available randomized controlled trials involving patients receiving beinaglutide, a short-acting glucagon-like polypeptide-1 receptor agonist. Beinaglutide at doses of 0.1-0.2 mg three times daily for 12-24 weeks was more effective than the control group at reducing body weight. Beinaglutide also demonstrated superiority over the control group in reducing body mass index and waist circumference. Beinaglutide posed greater risks of treatment discontinuation due to adverse events, including nausea, vomiting, palpitations, headaches, and dizziness, compared to the control group. However, the two groups had identical risks of total and serious adverse events, diarrhea, fatigue, and hypoglycemia.
