Quick Takeaways Retatrutide is a triple-receptor agonist (GLP-1, GIP, glucagon) delivering superior monotherapy weight loss at 2428.7% over 4868 weeks Cagrilintide targets amylin receptors for satiety and gastric emptying, achieving 10.8% weight loss in 26 weeks as a monotherapy Retatrutide provides broader metabolic benefits, including dramatic improvements in HbA1c, blood pressure, waist circumference, insulin sensitivity, and liver fat normalization No head-to-head trials exist yet, but the mechanistic and clinical data strongly favor Retatrutide for total body recomposition Retatrutide vs Cagrilintide: Side-by-Side Comparison What Makes Retatrutide Different Retatrutide isnt just another GLP-1 receptor agonist

Common adverse effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists include: Gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation) Injection site reactions Headache Fatigue Dizziness Important safety considerations include: Risk of hypoglycaemia when used with insulin or sulfonylureas (dose reduction of these agents may be needed) Potential worsening of diabetic retinopathy with semaglutide in patients with pre-existing retinopathy Risk of dehydration and acute kidney injury from persistent vomiting or diarrhoea Pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and potential thyroid C-cell tumours (observed in rodent studies, though human relevance remains uncertain) Patients should be counselled about persistent severe abdominal pain as a potential warning sign of pancreatitis requiring immediate medical attention
