Weight-loss drug may leave stomach full despite fasting, study warns
NCT ID NCT07398222
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether people taking tirzepatide (a drug for obesity and diabetes) still have food or liquid in their stomach after the recommended fasting period. Using a simple ultrasound, researchers will compare 30 adults who take tirzepatide with those who don't. The goal is to understand if this medication increases the risk of stomach contents entering the lungs during anesthesia.
