What do yall think about glp1 for weight loss?

Anonymous 41w

Pharmacy student coming back to this one. NO SEMAGLUTIDE. end of story, will destroy everything you’ve worked towards. Tirzepatide is risky, and you’ll lose some. Reta looks promising, but not enough clinical data to see either way to be completely honest. In my opinion? Don’t. Maybe reta one day, but not today.

Goated just start on a low dose and titrate up if needed, people saying it destroys lean mass are lying it’s the user that destroys it by starting on too high of a dose. Mfs gone hope on 2-5mg a week and not be able yo eat a bite if food and wonder why they’re losing muscle

Why do GLP1 when GLP3 exists

My doctor said there’s a risk of getting some gallbladder issues

I was on Ozempic for a year and lost roughly 30 pounds. The side effects were brutal a lot of times, but I personally think it was worth it because I have otherwise struggled to lose much weight.

That’s what I’m saying…some people say there’s no effects but idk. Also ppl use to lose weight but not workout so then it kinda goes in the opposite direction of an ED I think.

I feel like by the time we get enough data on Reta to be FDA approved it’s getting bought and sold for a 5x markup due to its effectiveness

Naturally. But you can still get Semaglutide and tirzepatide as research supplements. The auto injectors with the drug are patented. The reconstitutable drug in vials is a research supplement

What are you referring to? Are you referring to the triple agonist form of a glp-1 medication such as retatrutide?

Yes, tends to be more effective for weight loss and muscle retention

Okay I just wanted to make sure that’s what you are talking about. This isn’t a GLP-3 however I can see how you think that. GLP-1 is glucagon-like-peptide one, so when someone says a GLP-1 drug, they mean that it is acting as an agonist the receptors that bind to the glucagon like receptor. Double and triple agonists still work on the GLP-1 pathway and mechanism, just attacking it from different areas and utilizing different parts of the pathway and different receptors

But you are correct, it is more effective THAT WE KNOW OF, there still isn’t enough clinical data of long term efficacy at this moment

Oh I’m not starting on it lol. I’ve just been seeing it more and wondering why. It seems a bit unsafe to me. Like yeah dieting is hard but have more discipline

Everything has its risks but from the clinical trials so far unless abused most of the risk comes from user error primarily people not eating nutrient dense or protein dense food when they’re on jt

Yeah. Then it turns lowkey into ED behavior bc they’re barely eating. So how is that any better lmao

Again it’s just based off dosing retatrutide is beautiful when used in a really light amount Becuase it doesn’t just stop you from eating entirely just cancels out some of the food noise that is a lot harder to ignore when cutting calories

My brother in Christ, I have worked in a pharmacy for the past 5 years and am in pharmacy school right now. I’m just telling you what’s technically correct. It may just be from where you’re at versus where im at, I’ve just never heard it called that before
