This is due to the lower Mw of PGN, which reduces the strength of protein binding and which may allow absorption from the gut and interaction with cell systems
If you take oral medications that require precise absorption (thyroid medication, certain antibiotics, oral contraceptives), take them at least 1 hour before your GLP-1 injection or consider separating them by several hours
If you have questions about drug interactions that may affect you, ask your doctor or pharmacist
Properly manufactured GLP-1 injections should appear clear and colorless Cloudy, yellow, or brown discolorations indicate possible degradation or contamination and warrant immediate discontinuation
