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.
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.
That's how Tyna Moore pronounces it...YoYoFat said:
