Reta vs Tirz clinical trial - anyone joining?

[Casey1993]

Heads up, everyone: ClinicalTrials.gov has a listing for a new trial:

https://clinicaltrials.gov/

Interested to see the results, might even try to get in!

It seems like it's a direct comparison, no sugar pill involved. That's pretty cool, no risk of getting nothing!

 

[PeptidePals]

Oh this is 100% a marketing ploy by EL.

 

[GlucoseGoldie]

I think @PeptidePals is right. It looks like they're confident Reta is superior and want to show everyone.

 

[not-giving-up]

Yeah, but most of us here are probably using research products, so we're likely ineligible. The screening will catch it. Too bad, a free year-long trial would be amazing.

 

[Casey1993]

Good point, @not-giving-up. Forgot about the prior compound use issue. They're probably super strict about that. Still, the data should be interesting, whether we can join or not!

 

[DenverDiva22]

It's wild how Big Pharma is suing these compounding places making affordable meds. Like, are they saying it's an exact copy but also full of dangerous stuff? Make up your mind, lol.

 

[PeptidePals]

@DenverDiva22 Exactly! They only care about lining their pockets. My insurance won't even cover brand name, so I'm stuck with other options.

 

[GlucoseGoldie]

It's about time someone takes on the high costs. Jardiance is crazy expensive too. Ethically, keeping meds so high is wrong.

 

[not-giving-up]

I agree, @GlucoseGoldie. I've been insulin resistant for nearly two decades and semaglutide has been the ONLY thing that has helped... but it costs almost a grand every couple months. It's insane.

 

[Casey1993]

It just sucks that if Bernie Sanders gets anywhere with this, they might restrict availability even more to keep profits up. Anyone else worried about that?

 

[fig_titrating]

Some folks go higher on the tirz side of things without issue. Really comes down to what clicks for each person's own path. Adding sema is totally your call. For me the combo just feels right.

 

[mistywanderer45]

same - threw an app at their supposed trial but crickets back. they haven't had independent peer review from actual medical journals, just their own press.

 

[SunnyJourneyLiving]

I was at 9mg during mine, and honestly can't wait to get back to it!

 

[backatit_forreal]

Saw mention of one of the pharma companies testing the drug on addiction issues. Interesting angle.

I was part of a trial for a similar compound and had really smooth results. Barely any side effects and the weight loss matched what they predicted. Hoping it reaches the market soon.
