Retatrutide is a medication designed to help with weight loss and type 2 diabetes.

It works by copying three natural hormones in your body that:

• Reduce hunger
• Help control blood sugar
• Boost fat burning

In studies, people taking Retatrutide have lost a lot of weight and improved their blood sugar levels. It’s a powerful tool that helps the body feel full, manage sugar better, and burn fat more effectively.    

• Starting dose: 1mg or 2mg weekly
• Dose escalation: Increased every 4 weeks
• Maximum dose: Up to 12mg weekly in trials
• Maintenance dose: Varies by individual (4mg to 12mg in studies)

    Common side effects include:

• Nausea.
• Vomiting.
• Constipation.
• Diarrhoea.

Serious side effects While the majority of the reported side effects with retatrutide were mild to moderate in severity, clinical trials also recorded a small number of serious adverse events. These events affected approximately 4% of the participants in both the retatrutide and placebo groups, indicating that the incidence was similar between the treatment and control arms. The serious adverse events reported in the trials included a range of medical conditions, such as acute pancreatitis and prolonged QT syndrome. Importantly, the researchers did not identify any relationship between these serious adverse events and the use of retatrutide.
