Retatrutide
Triple GLP-1/GIP/glucagon agonist in late-stage obesity trials.
Mechanism of Action
A synthetic peptide that simultaneously agonizes GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. The glucagon component is hypothesized to add energy expenditure on top of the appetite suppression and insulinotropic effects of GLP-1/GIP.
Research Areas
Common Research Protocols
Once-weekly subcutaneous escalation in obesity and T2D trials.
Protocols summarized for educational reference from published research. Not dosing guidance.
Cited Research

Important Considerations
- •Investigational; not FDA-approved (Phase 3 ongoing).
- •GI side effects common, similar to other incretin therapies.
- •Requires physician oversight.
