Riptatritide: Promising Drug for Obesity Treatment

A new drug, Riptatritide, is a glucagon, GIP, GLP1 triple agonist being studied for obesity treatment. In a phase two trial, participants with obesity saw substantial weight loss, with the highest dose group achieving an average weight loss of 24% over 48 weeks, exceeding previously studied medications. Participants at all doses experienced weight loss, and at the highest dose, average absolute weight loss was 58 pounds, leading to improvements in blood lipid profiles and liver fat reduction.
