GLP-2 analogues are typically used to treat short bowel syndrome. GLP-2 analogues work by mimicking the action of glucagon-like peptide-2, a hormone that helps improve nutrient absorption and blood flow to your intestine. These medications are typically available as injections. A main example is Gattex (teduglutide).
TEDUGLUTIDE treats short bowel syndrome (SBS). It works by helping your body absorb more nutrients and fluids from food and drink. This can help reduce the amount of intravenous nutrition needed.
