Lixisenatide is a once-daily injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist used in patients with type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 agonists delay gastric emptying, which may affect the absorption of concomitantly administered medications.

Serious interactions with acetaminophen may occur in patients taking lonafarnib, pexidartinib, or pretomanid.
