Retatrutide for Weight Loss
What Patients in Kerala Need to Know
Medical Content Reviewed by Dr. Abhi Mohan, Devika Skin & Hair Clinic
As medical science advances, the landscape of obesity management is shifting from simple calorie counting to advanced hormonal therapy. While medications like Foundayo and other GLP-1 agonists are currently leading the way, a newer, more potent molecule is on the horizon: Retatrutide.
What is Retatrutide?
Retatrutide is a "Triple Agonist." Unlike current treatments that target one or two hormones, Retatrutide targets three:
GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1)
GIP (Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide)
Glucagon
This "triple action" is why researchers are seeing unprecedented results in clinical trials, often surpassing the weight loss percentages of previous-generation injections and pills.
Is Retatrutide available in Kerala, India?
Currently, Retatrutide is in Phase III clinical trials globally. It has not yet been cleared by the DCGI for general sale in India. At Devika Skin & Hair Clinic, we believe in staying ahead of the curve. While we do not prescribe unapproved medications, we provide comprehensive consultations for currently approved medical weight loss programs (like Foundayo) that bridge the gap until newer therapies arrive.
Why Medical Supervision is Non-Negotiable
Advanced peptides are powerful. At our Thiruvananthapuram clinic, Dr. Abhi Mohan ensures that every patient undergoes:
Full Metabolic Screening (Liver, Kidney, Thyroid)
Body Composition Analysis
Personalized Dosage Titration
FAQs
How is Retatrutide different from Foundayo or Ozempic?
While Foundayo/Ozempic targets one or two receptors, Retatrutide targets three. This may lead to higher metabolic efficiency and faster weight loss under medical supervision.
How does it work?
It helps reduce appetite and boosts metabolism to support healthy weight loss.
Can I get a Retatrutide prescription today in Thiruvananthapuram?
No. Retatrutide is currently investigational. However, Dr. Abhi Mohan offers consultations for currently approved, similar medical weight loss treatments at Devika Skin & Hair Clinic.
What are the side effects of newer weight loss peptides?
Common side effects include nausea and digestive changes. This is why a clinical consultation at Devika Foundation is mandatory before starting any metabolic program.
