  • Retatrutide activates GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors, adding glucagon agonism to existing therapies’ mechanisms.

  • Eli Lilly is nearing the end of phase 3 testing, but retatrutide has not received FDA approval.

  • According to Dr. Lofton, patients may lose about 28 percent of body weight over two years, versus 10 percent with GLP-1s.

  • Two deaths have been linked to gray-market retatrutide versions, according to reports submitted to the FDA.
    • Because the degree of weight loss is so impressive, we must keep in mind that this drug is not for cosmetic weight loss but for those with clinical obesity, which is a chronic medical condition.
    — Dr. Holly Lofton, director of the medical weight management program at NYU Langone Health, in the Women's Health article about retatrutide.
