Retarutide is a triple receptor agonist of glucose dependent insulin-like peptide (GIP), glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucagon (GCG). More and more research results have confirmed that GIP/GLP-1/glucagon (GCG) triple receptor agonists can effectively reduce liver fat in NAFLD patients.

Retatrutide FAQs

• How does retatrutide work?

• Retatrutide is a tri-agonist; this means that it interacts with three different hormone receptors in the body. By targeting multiple pathways, it is hoped that it will provide better weight loss results than existing treatments that act on just one or two receptors.

• What are the side effects of retatrutide?

• Currently, retatrutide is still in the testing phase, no full list of side effects has been released. As it will act on the GLP-1 receptor, it is likely that it may cause nausea, stomach issues and headaches like other similar drugs.

• What is the recommended dosage of retatrutide?

• The recommended dosing schedule of retatrutide has not yet been released by the manufacturers. It is intended to be a weekly injection, and will most likely start at a smaller dosage to prevent side effects. Over the course of several weeks, you will increase this dose towards a “maintenance” dose.

• How to take retatrutide?

• Like many GLP-1 agonists, retatrutide will be a weekly injection, delivered under the skin into the arm, thigh or stomach area via a pen injector.

• How to store retatrutide?

• Storage guidance has not yet been released for retatrutide, however, based on similar medications, it is likely that it should be stored in a fridge between 2°C and 8°C. Always store medications out of sight and reach of children.

• Are there any alternative treatments for weight loss?

• There are several related medications which can be used for the same effect including semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy), liraglutide (Saxenda) and tirzepatide. There are also non-injectable weight loss treatments, including orlistat (Xenical).

• Can I drink alcohol while taking retatrutide?

• At this stage, we do not know if retatrutide will interact significantly with alcohol. It is likely that alcohol use with retatrutide would increase your risk of side effects such as low blood sugar.

• How long does retatrutide take to start working?

• Based on similar drugs, retatrutide is likely to start to work quickly, but weight loss results may take a few weeks before they become apparent.

• What is the recommended dosage of retatrutide?

• Retatrutide is still in development and the recommended dosing regime has not yet been released.

Over the course of several weeks, you will increase this dose towards a “maintenance” dose.

• What drugs should not be taken with retatrutide?

• Currently, a full list of contraindications and drug interactions is not available. Based on similar medications, it is likely to interact with certain diabetes medications but may interact with other drugs and health conditions as well. A full list of interactions and restrictions will be published in the patient information leaflet when the medication is released. Always read the patient leaflet and discuss your medications with the prescribing doctor before taking retatrutide.

• Are there any alternative treatments for weight loss?

• There are several similar medications which can be used for the same effect - semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy), liraglutide (Saxenda) and dulaglutide (Trulicity). There are also non-injectable weight loss treatments, such as orlistat (Xenical).
