The medication binds to both receptor types with high affinity, creating a combined effect that exceeds single-receptor targeting approaches
Insulin resistance and growth retardation in mice lacking insulin receptor substrate-1
Other considerations include hypoglycemia (most common concern), possible local tissue effects at injection sites, unknown long-term consequences of repeated local IGF-1 surges, and potential for organ growth with chronic use near specific organs
Importantly, GLP-1 RAs should be prescribed and managed by clinicians experienced in pediatric obesity (e.g., pediatric endocrinologists or obesity specialists) because of dosing complexities and the need for growth monitoring
