This study adds to the body of literature supporting the beneficial effects of semaglutide in people with overweight and obesity without diabetes, which is so necessary as we continue to navigate the complex landscape of insurance coverage of these medications in people who do not have diabetes, Shiara Ortiz-Pujols, MD, MPH, an obesity medicine physician at Staten Island University Hospital, told Healthline
Retatrutide's phase 2 obesity data (around 24% at the top dose) edged tirzepatide's SURMOUNT-1 result (about 21%), but they come from different trials, not a head-to-head, and retatrutide is not approved
It has also been approved to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with established cardiovascular disease who are overweight or have obesity
