It belongs to a novel class of agents known as triple receptor agonists , meaning it simultaneously activates three distinct hormone receptors: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) which reduces appetite and slows gastric emptying [7] [8] GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) which is hypothesised to enhance insulin secretion and may play a role in fat metabolism, though the precise contribution remains under investigation Glucagon receptor which is thought to increase energy expenditure and promote hepatic fat breakdown, though these mechanisms are still being characterised in human studies [9] [10] This triple mechanism distinguishes retatrutide from existing approved agents such as semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) or tirzepatide (a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist), and is thought to produce more pronounced effects on body weight
In addition, BCBSM will change prior authorization requirements in this space on Saxenda, Wegovy and Zepbound beginning Aug
This is a recognised class effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists
This prevents the fracturing of the delicate peptide bonds

Patients should not purchase products claiming to contain retatrutide from unregulated sources, as these carry serious safety risks including counterfeit or incorrectly dosed products
