Abstrakt: Diabetes is a public health problem with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 10% and a prevalence of 12% in Mexico. The costs resulting from this chronic-degenerative disease are significant. Treatment for diabetes involves different medication groups, some of which can cause significant gastrointestinal adverse effects, such as dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. The medications most frequently associated with said adverse effects are metformin, acarbose, and GLP-1 agonists. Gastrointestinal adverse effects negatively impact the quality of life and management of patients with diabetes. The factors of visceral neuropathy, acute dysglycemia, dysbiosis, and intestinal bacterial overgrowth contribute to the gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with diabetes, making it necessary to consider multiple etiologic factors in the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms, and not exclusively attribute them to the use of antidiabetics. Personalized treatment, considering gastrointestinal comorbidity and the type of drug utilized, is essential for mitigating the adverse effects and improving the quality of life in patients with diabetes. The aim of the present narrative review was to describe the gastrointestinal adverse effects of the antidiabetic drugs, their pathophysiologic mechanisms, and the corresponding therapeutic measures.
