Consumer:

GLP-1 receptor agonist antidiabetic drugs are contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma and in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2). Carcinogenicity studies in rodents and limited postmarketing data suggest that GLP-1 inhibitors may cause a dose-related and treatment duration-related increase in risk of thyroid C-cell tumors, although a causal relationship has not been established.
