A new weight-loss drug called retatrutide might help people with obesity lose about a quarter of their body weight in less than a year—and it could work even better and faster than weight-loss...

A drug called retatrutide probably helps people with obesity or type 2 diabetes lose about 14% of their body weight when given as a weekly shot for up to a year, and higher doses seem to lead to more weight loss.

A new weight-loss drug called tirzepatide might help people with obesity lose about 23% of their body weight in a year and a half — possibly even more than some weight-loss surgeries.

A drug called retatrutide helps people lose a lot of weight—sometimes over 70 pounds—by targeting certain hormones, but it works so well that it can cause unexpected health problems.

If someone has had weight-loss surgery but didn’t lose enough weight or gained it back, taking GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic or Wegovy) can help them lose about 7.8 kilograms (around 17 pounds) on average, with better results the longer they stay on the medication.

Some diabetes and weight-loss drugs, like tirzepatide, can help people lose a lot of weight—up to nearly 18% more than a fake treatment over a year and a half—especially in those without diabetes, and they might also improve overall health.
