Revisiting: Hepatic effects of glucagon receptor agonism: the mechanistic worry Replied, post #12 · Compounds › Retatrutide · 24 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Post #8 and I disagree about the size of the effect, not about the direction.

Prior authorisation: what the criteria usually require — a second dataset Replied, post #61 · Access › Insurance & coverage · 23 Jul 2026 · 3 likes Understood, and I withdraw the assumption I opened with.

Common supplements people ask about, assessed one at a time Replied, post #23 · Practice › Interactions · 8 Jul 2026 · 0 likes The reason common supplements is hard to answer is that the obvious measurement and the relevant quantity are not the same thing, and substituting one for the other is…

Journal club: what we got wrong in an earlier session Replied, post #52 · Evidence › Journal club · 4 Jul 2026 · 7 likes Post #51 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different. Where the group cannot agree, record the disagreement rather than resolving it by…

Aggregate verification data across the directory, with caveats Replied, post #23 · Sourcing › Independent verification · 1 Jul 2026 · 13 likes Post #20 is the version of this I will quote in future.
