Based on clinical trial data, retatrutide produces greater average weight loss (28.7% at 68 weeks with 12mg) compared to tirzepatide (22.5% at 72 weeks with 15mg)
In the SUSTAIN program, acute kidney failure was only reported in SUSTAIN 6, where its occurrence was similar between semaglutide and placebo (28)
According to NICE Technology Appraisal 875, Wegovy is recommended for use within the NHS for adults with a BMI of at least 35 kg/m and at least one weight-related comorbidity, or a BMI of at least 30 kg/m with type 2 diabetes, when provided through specialist weight management services

How Does Semaglutide Help With Weight Loss
Results Local disruption of Gs signaling in the dorsal vagal complex impairs energy balance and semaglutide-induced weight loss To test whether semaglutide recruits the Gs pathway in hindbrain neurons to drive weight loss, we delivered a virus encoding Cre recombinase and a red fluorescent protein (AAV1-hsyn-cre-P2A-tdTomato) to the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of Gnas conditional knockout mice 29 (Gnas fl/fl ) to selectively knockout the gene encoding the Gs protein (Fig
