Called "skinny snake oil" by one writer and a "huge red flag" by another, experts agree: Proceed with caution
Other Key Findings Metabolic improvements: Participants saw reductions in A1C (for those with prediabetes or diabetes), fasting glucose, and triglycerides Liver fat reduction: Retatrutide reduced liver fat by up to 50%, which is why Eli Lilly added a NASH-specific trial to the Phase 3 program Side effects: Mostly gastrointestinal (nausea, diarrhea, constipation), similar to other GLP-1 drugs but manageable with slow titration Discontinuation rate: About 10% of participants stopped due to side effects, comparable to tirzepatide and semaglutide Study limitation: The Phase 2 trial was only 48 weeks long
Refrigerate at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, protect from light, and never freeze reconstituted solutions

In this context, the aim of the present document is to summarize, in the form of a narrative literature review, the currently available data on the main mechanisms of action of GIP/GLP-1 co-agonists and the clinical effects of tirzepatide evaluated in various clinical trials
