A randomised controlled trial with 961 participants compared the impact of a once-weekly dose of 1mg or 2mg of semaglutide on blood glucose levels and weight loss for people living with type 2 diabetes
In the United States, where retatrutide is also unapproved, industry estimates place a likely future annual cost somewhere in the range of 15,000 to 18,000 US dollars once it does reach the market, similar to other drugs in this class
Still, the studys scale, duration and granular clinical data provide meaningful evidence to inform riskbenefit discussions. Balancing risks and benefits Importantly, the analysis assessed risk associated with initiation of semaglutide rather than cumulative dose or treatment duration. Whether risk varies by dosing intensity or length of exposure remains an open question
