I'm pretty sure I've been mispronouncing it this whole time. But, I might just keep saying it my way anyway! lol

 

[Sub-Q_Sammy]

Yeah, that pronunciation makes sense. Kinda like Tirzepatide.

 

[PlateauCrusher]

Nah, we all say it the *wrong* way now. Can't go back!

 

[ProteinPioneer]

I just call it 'reta' for short.

 

[Reese_2007]

It's like the guy who invented GIF says it's pronounced "jif"... sometimes the creator is wrong.

 

[CGM_Watcher]

I'm with ProteinPioneer. "Drop the -trutide. Just 'reta'." So much easier.

 

[Avery1979]

Oh, I say 'reta' sometimes too, but only because I'm too lazy to say the whole thing!

 

[Wes_1984]

I'm still over here saying Retatrutrutrutriade lol

So, following that logic, should semaglutide be pronounced "se-MAG-lu-tide" instead of "sema-GLU-tide"? Just wondering...

This is important for aspiring sonnet writers who need the correct stress for iambic pentameter!

 

[Wes_1984]

I usually say Sema-Glu-Tide... but I'm not sure if that's right.

 

[Avery1979]

I've actually heard both pronunciations for semaglutide: seh-MAG-luh-tide and sema-GLU-tide.

Apparently the manufacturer says it the first way.

 

[Avery1979]

I think this was the first time I even heard the pronunciation!

[Sub-Q_Sammy]

They won't be calling it *that* for very long. Soon they will patent it and come up with some catchy name to use in commercials.

 

[Avery1979]

I enjoy PeptideCritic's videos. He's genuinely trying to help us, but he's clearly tired of our silly questions.

 

[PlateauCrusher]

rah-tat-rah-tide?

Nope. Still gonna say ret-ah-true-tide.

Oh, and it's guh-if, not Juh-if. Jif is peanut butter.

 

[Sub-Q_Sammy]

Reta-WHO-tide? LOL!

 

[ProteinPioneer]

Lilly pronounces it $$$$$. With a hard M.

 

[Reese_2007]

I heard that when they brainstorm a retail name, they pass around a jar labeled, "placebos."

(Old Steve Martin joke)

I heard that when they brainstorm a retail name, they pass around a jar labeled, "placebos."

That's pretty dark, lol.

I'm working on a study about GLP-1 experiences. If anyone wants to share their good or bad experiences, I can send you a questionnaire. It's for a project to provide better support for patients.
