Retatrutide Dosage: a Guide

Researchers did a study that lasted nearly a year with 338 adults who were not diabetic but were overweight or obese. These participants were split into six groups and each group received a different amount of the medicine:

1. 1 mg every week for the whole study
2. 2 mg every week for 4 weeks, then 4 mg every week for the rest of the time
3. 4 mg every week for the whole study
4. Starting with 2 mg per week, moving to 4 mg, and then 8 mg weekly for most of the study
5. 4 mg per week for 4 weeks, then 8 mg weekly for the rest of the study
6. Starting with 2 mg per week, increasing to 4 mg, then 8 mg, with the final dose at 12 mg per week

The study showed that the more medicine participants took, the more weight they lost. For example, those on the lowest dose lost about 8.7% of their weight, while those on the highest dose lost 24.2%.

Every participant taking the highest doses of the medication lost at least 5% of their starting weight. They also had improvements in waist size, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and other health markers, although there wasn’t an increase in “good” cholesterol.

There is also a bigger ongoing study with over 2,000 people to confirm these results and gather more information, which will continue for about 89 weeks.
