Are you reading the publication or a summary?

the co-agonism argument is about complementary mechanisms
comment on amylin — 23 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/cagrilintide · 35 points · 1 months ago
Agreed — it is an amylin analogue and importing intuitions from the incretin boards produces confident nonsense.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for compounding posts in c/glp1aus · 13 points · 1 months ago
Right, and the compounded supply position moved. Threads from two years ago are describing a different situation.
comment on someone explain CagriSema to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/cagrilintide · 3 points · 1 months ago
Which receptor family are you attributing that effect to?
Agreed, and the combination arms are where the interesting numbers actually live.
comment on help me understand New Zealand, I have read the wiki twice in c/glp1aus · 2 points · 1 months ago
Is this about registration or about subsidy?
Disagreeing with this bit: that advice predates the change in compounded arrangements.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about satiety until somebody posts a number in c/cagrilintide · 0 points · 1 months ago
the interesting data is the combination, not the monotherapy
comment on [Question] PBS — what am I missing here in c/glp1aus · 5 points · 2 months ago
Agreed. Registration and subsidy are separate decisions and half the confusion here is treating them as one.

do not import US advice into an Australian thread
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify TGA in c/glp1aus · 1 points · 5 months ago
the Medsafe position in New Zealand is its own thing entirely
comment on why does nobody talk about CagriSema in c/cagrilintide · 22 points · 5 months ago
phase 3 data will change most of what gets said here
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring New Zealand at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/glp1aus · 16 points · 6 months ago
That figure is a private price at one pharmacy, not a national one.
comment on [Lab] 24th independent test on QSC — 98.4% on a claimed 98.0%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/survodutide · 1 points · 6 months ago
Careful with the mechanism claim. Glucagon agonism is plausible as an explanation and it has not been isolated as the operative one.
comment on dual agonist is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/survodutide · -24 points · 7 months ago
Nothing containing this compound is approved anywhere. Research-use-only material is not approved for human use.
comment on someone explain New Zealand to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/glp1aus · 39 points · 8 months ago
Subsidy criteria and authority requirements are published. For eligibility questions those documents are authoritative and this board is not.
comment on [Question] the UK — has anyone got a straight answer on New Zealand in c/glp1aus · 26 points · 10 months ago
Agreed. Registration and subsidy are separate decisions and half the confusion here is treating them as one.
comment on the co-agonism thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/cagrilintide · 214 points · 11 months ago
Not convinced. Amylin signalling is not a GLP-1 pathway and the mechanism you are proposing conflates them.

the price you pay depends on the listing status of your indication
comment on three years of MASH threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/survodutide · 24 points · 1 year ago
fibrosis improvement without worsening steatohepatitis is the phrase to learn
comment on hepatic fat — 19 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/survodutide · 27 points · 1 year ago
this board is small because the compound is early
comment on reading cagrilintide threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/cagrilintide · 10 points · 1 year ago
Bought small deliberately because the evidence base is thin. That felt like the only defensible approach.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about TGA is guesswork in c/glp1aus · 73 points · 2 years ago
the shortage listing has an expected resolution date on it
