I totally get it, searching online for side effects can make anyone so nervous. Actually, my doctor told me GLP-1 is mostly safe for the liver and sometimes even helps it, but you should always get your regular tests done just to be safe. Don't stress too much, just talk to your doctor once.

Listen, don't read random things on Google and scare yourself. My cousin has been on these injections for a year and his liver tests are absolutely fine. Just make sure you are taking it under a proper specialist's guidance and not self-medicating.

Bro, even I was worried about this before starting my treatment. My doc said it's actually used to reduce liver fat nowadays, so liver damage is super rare. Just get your routine blood work done as prescribed.

Honestly, it usually doesn't cause liver issues and can actually help fatty liver. But check with your doctor to be 100% sure.

I've been using GLP-1 for 6 months now and got my LFT done last week. Everything is normal. My doctor said it actually helps with liver fat, so don't worry about damage unless you have some pre-existing liver issues.
