Thank you Dr.SurgeonPGH! This is incredibly helpful. Taking this to my next appointment. 🙏
Slightly tangential to Retatrutide Phase 2 but SarahChen_PharmD reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
Thanks for sharing this, SarahChen_PharmD. A few questions about your Retatrutide Phase 2 experience:
- What dose did you start at?
- How long before you noticed side effects improving?
- Did your provider have any specific recommendations about Retatrutide?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
