It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help lower blood sugar levels in people with this condition
A meta-analysis of placebo-controlled clinical trials assessing the safety and efficacy of incretin-based therapy showed that the GLP-1 analogues are more effective in lowering blood glucose and weight loss, whereas sitagliptin lowers blood glucose levels to a lesser degree and are weight neutral [20]: the results showed that unadjusted HbA1c changes for exenatide, liraglutide, and sitagliptin are 0.75% (0.83, 0.67), 1.03% (1.16, 0.90), and 0.79% (0.93, 0.65), respectively
An NIH systematic review on triple agonism-based obesity therapies provides further context, confirming that retatrutides phase 2 dataset remains the most extensive published for any triple agonist to date
