Retatrutide is a once-weekly injection that mimics three hormones involved in appetite, blood sugar, and how the body uses energy: GLP-1: lowers appetite and blood sugar GIP: lowers appetite and blood sugar Glucagon: increases energy expenditure and the breakdown of stored fat, including fat in the liver The glucagon component is what separates retatrutide from semaglutide, which mimics one hormone (GLP-1), and tirzepatide, which mimics two (GLP-1 and GIP)
The federal government is also likely to expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage for GLP-1s in 2026
