Pancreatitis

Inflammation of the pancreas, which causes severe, persistent abdominal pain that often radiates to the back, sometimes with vomiting. It's an uncommon but serious risk flagged on GLP-1 labels, and it's a reason to stop the medication and seek care rather than wait it out. Severe abdominal pain that won't pass is never "normal adjustment."
