Pros: Dual-action mechanism, significant weight loss Cons: Potentially less effective than retatrutide Why Consider Retatrutide at the biostation
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a naturally occurring gut hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which slows how quickly food moves from your stomach into your small intestine
Dosage Contrave is indicated for long-term use, while phentermine is indicated for short-term use
That is a large effect and matches the direction of earlier Phase 2 glucose data, but the magnitude is higher than what has been reported in comparable tirzepatide or semaglutide obesity trials
Initial investigations for diffuse hair loss should include full blood count, ferritin, thyroid function tests, vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin D levels to rule out common underlying causes
For most patients, GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) require long-term use to maintain their benefits
