I've been pronouncing retatrutide wrong, I'll bet you have too

[yelloeyes]

Yay, I got this one right. Unlike wegovy, which I pronounced it like
WEG-oh-vee for about 9 months. Eventually I heard it on a commercial where they said we-GO-vee.

It's weg-oh-vee to me, too... IDC.

 

[yelloeyes]

And to be honest. Probably just a typo.

Same though...

 

[meowTime]

That’s how it’s pronounced in the Wegovy commercial.

They need to go to jail then, that's just wrong. It's seh-mah-GLUE-tide and always will be.

I hear doctors pronouncing Reta the "wrong" way. The correct pronunciation is the one that comes into common usage, according to the dictionary. If the docs are pronouncing it wrong, so will their patients. Eventually that will become the correct pronunciation.

fuck that

It seems there is confusion within Eli Lilly as to how Retatrutide should be pronounced. Either that or we're being gaslighted! Lol.

Eli Lilly's Chief Scientist was on CNBC this morning, and he pronounced it the way other sane humans do—reta-troo-tide. The interview can be seen here, and the comment of interest is at 1:33: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/20/eli-lilly-dan-skovronsky-discusses-weight-loss-drugs.html

Relatedly, I’ve listened to a bunch of podcasts with folks from Novo, including the gal who basically created Sema, and they pronounce it sem-AG-luh-tyde (and that’s how I say it), but I hear most people say it seh-muh-GLOO-tyde.

 

[SCDC1]

That’s dumb. They should have asked us.

Now, that's the proper answer.

That's how Tyna Moore pronounces it...

On the subject, GIF is pronounced JIF. Soft G.

It was easy for me to use because liraglutide is pronounced similarly, leer-AG-luh-tyde
