Resmetirom is this thing called a THR-β agonist, and it’s used to treat NASH, which is a fancy way of saying ‘fatty liver’ that’s not caused by drinking. It really helps with getting the liver to break down fat better. You just take one tablet of 80 mg every day.
The tablets come in bottles with 30 in each, and they’re meant to be used one at a time. The idea is to tackle the real reason you’ve got NASH and maybe keep it from getting worse. Some side effects can be a bit of a spin, feeling queasy, or belly pain.
You need to do what your doc says about how long to take it and make sure you keep taking it. It’s a pill, so it’s way easier than having to get shots. It’s a new way to treat things, focusing on this thing called PPAR-β/δ, which is like a helper in the body that manages how we use fat and other stuff.
It’s been shown to work in studies, and it’s looking pretty good for people with NASH.
