semaglutide to retatrutide If isn't FDA approved yet, how is everyone already taking it? 👀⁠ ⁠ On this episode of “The Beauty Authority,” board-certified endocrinologist @drrekhakumar explains why the next-generation weight-loss drug has become Retatrutide vs Tirzepatide vs Semaglutide

Fonseca VA, Alvarado-Ruiz R, Raccah D, Boka G, Miossec P, Gerich JE, on behalf of the EFC6018 GetGoal-Mono Study Investigators

Effects of oral semaglutide on cardiovascular outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or chronic kidney disease: Design and baseline characteristics of SOUL, a randomized trial

Tirzepatide : Often leads to even greater weight lossup to 20% or more of body weight at higher doses (e.g., 15 mg/week)

Liraglutide (LEADER trial), semaglutide (SUSTAIN-6), and dulaglutide (REWIND trial) demonstrated significant reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events

While this method will work just fine, it may be associated with a higher risk of side effects, hence, the subcutaneous areas are preferable
