I see that it's another GLP-1 agonist, like Ozempic/Wegovy. Are there any particular advantages, or is it just a me-too drug?
The weight loss number surpass that of semaglutide alone. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2107519
Can't wait for the day semaglutide and tirzepatide are available as generics
This appears to be a GIP and GLP-1 agonist. Recently I read there might be some severe side effects with this class of med in diabetic and non-diabetic patients: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-10-links-popular-weight-... But its still pretty exciting.
Remember to eat, and you don't get gastroparesis.
This is definitely a historic moment in US public health. Today we look at photos and marvel at how prevalent smoking was 50 years ago (in restaurants, in hospitals, in airplanes, etc.). 40 years from now people will look at photos from the last decade and be in disbelief at how widespread obesity was.
Dieting makes you hungry, truly revolutionary research.

AIUI, filtered through my doctor: the gastroparesis occurs when you stop eating. You stop eating because you're no longer hungry. Remember to eat, and you don't get gastroparesis.

This cannot be understated. Obesity is being changed from a willpower problem to a chronic disease that is treatable. The follow-on effects of this are huge.

From what I understand, Semaglutide is available in compounded form by pharmacies due to a shortage (without end in sight) being declared. https://www.fda.gov/media/173456/download?attachment
There's much less oversight over the production of compounded drugs, and people who purchase them may not be getting what they expect, with no way to tell the difference.
