Retatrutide vs tirzepatide — which would you choose?

If retatrutide were available today at the same price as tirzepatide, would you switch? The extra ~2% weight loss doesn't seem worth the unknown long-term safety profile. But the glucagon receptor agonism might help with metabolic health beyond just weight.

The glucagon receptor adds hepatic fat oxidation which could address fatty liver disease — something tirzepatide doesn't directly do. For metabolic syndrome patients, retatrutide could be superior.
