comment on why does nobody talk about weekly dosing in c/semaglutide · 354 points · 4 months ago
comment on why does nobody talk about weekly dosing in c/semaglutide · 194 points · 4 months ago
Not to be pedantic but weekly dosing and Wegovy are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on the half-life question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/glp1science · 24 points · 5 months ago
Rodent, human, or in vitro?
comment on what changed for me between week 20 and week 63 in c/compounding · 94 points · 6 months ago
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about glucagon until somebody posts a number in c/retatrutide · 251 points · 6 months ago
the glucagon component changes the side effect profile, not just the efficacy
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about titration in c/semaglutide · 4 points · 6 months ago
okay but what dose of sema are you on
comment on stalled for 16 weeks at 0.5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/glp1science · 1 points · 7 months ago
do not extrapolate rodent data to human dosing without saying so
comment on week 26 check-in — 42kg down, constipation manageable, one thing confusing me in c/retatrutide · 21 points · 7 months ago
Are you quoting phase 2 or is there phase 3 data now?
comment on [PSA] shortage list is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/compounding · 3 points · 8 months ago
This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.
comment on 20 months in and half-life is still the thing I get wrong in c/glp1science · 1 points · 9 months ago
central appetite signalling is real but people overweight it
comment on 22 months in and triple agonist is still the thing I get wrong in c/retatrutide · 14 points · 9 months ago
TRIUMPH phase 2 showed 99.1% weight loss but the injection-site soreness profile on the highest arm was rough.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 89 weeks to accept.
comment on [Question] API source — what am I missing here in c/compounding · 22 points · 9 months ago
Not convinced.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 83 weeks to accept.
comment on switched from 2.5mg to 2.4mg and the sulphur burps got better, not worse in c/retatrutide · 27 points · 9 months ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is triple agonist.
Disagree on that part. 98.3% and 98.4% on the same vial is normal.
comment on the TRIUMPH thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/retatrutide · 1 points · 10 months ago
phase 2 numbers are not maintenance numbers, cite the trial
comment on 503B vs shortage list — genuinely asking which matters more in c/compounding · 0 points · 10 months ago
Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.
comment on stalled for 9 weeks at 5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/semaglutide · 136 points · 11 months ago
titration speed is Ozempic plus side effects, period
Disagree on that part. 96.8% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for 2.4mg posts in c/semaglutide · 0 points · 11 months ago
the constipation passes. i promise. not medical advice.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for 2.4mg posts in c/semaglutide · 36 points · 11 months ago
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
comment on telehealth is the most under-discussed thing in c/progresspics in c/compounding · 23 points · 11 months ago
state board rules differ, say which state
comment on [Results] 61 weeks on 2.4mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/retatrutide · 1 points · 1 year ago
heart rate and dose escalation need actual measurements, not impressions
