MOLECULE PROFILE

Retatrutide / Retatrutida

Peptide or peptide-related

Single GIP/GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist.

Sources checked · October 16, 2026

Published for review · Scientific, medical, translation and citation review pending. Reported uses are not authorized indications. Frequency reflects mentions in supplied sources, not sales or global clinical prevalence.

Identity and synonyms

Identity follows the supplied name and synonyms; no additional identity description is supplied.

Synonyms: LY3437943

Peptide or peptide-related · Peptide or peptide derivative

Detailed molecular class: Triple-receptor agonist peptide

Supplied sequence or chemical reference

See identity note; no supplier sequence accepted as verification.

Mechanism

Single GIP/GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist.

Evidence and critical reading

Reported scientific and empirical uses

Reported glycemic control · Reported weight management

Promoted as a triple agonist for weight; commercial lists are not access to the trial product.

Human evidence

Phase II and 2026 TRIUMPH-2 phase III evidence show weight reduction in studied populations. Investigational status is distinct from efficacy signals.

Preclinical evidence

Receptor balance is molecule-specific and cannot be reproduced by arbitrary stacking.

Critical reading and limitations

Phase II trials and the selected phase III report require population/outcome context; efficacy is not approval.

Evidence applies to the exact molecule, formulation, route, population and endpoint studied. Supplier identity, purity and clinical equivalence are unverified.

Source-specific regimens

Descriptive source observations, not individual recommendations.

Regulatory product labeling

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

Human-study exposure

NOT A RECOMMENDATION.Each amount is attributed to the source identified for that entry: regulatory product labeling, human research, or community and practice sources. These source categories have different evidentiary roles. They are not medical advice, not a protocol, not a recommended or safe dose, and not evidence that it works. Do not use them to start, change or stop any treatment. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.

Empirical handbook

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

Regulation and safety

Jurisdiction-specific regulatory context

US: FDA states no approved retatrutide product and restrictions on compounding. EU authorization not verified.

Adverse effects and unknowns

GI adverse effects and heart-rate increases reported; long-term and combination safety remain under study. Trial exclusions are not approved-label contraindications.

GI events and heart-rate changes in research; mixtures lack established equivalence.

Contraindications

See supported safety statements and exact product label; a complete contraindication set has not been established for this catalog material.

A complete list must match the exact authorized product. For experimental materials without verified human labeling, a complete contraindication set is not established here. No list does not mean safety.

Interactions

Only explicitly cited interactions may be asserted; unstudied combinations remain unknown, not interaction-free.

Separate documented interaction, pharmacologic plausibility and unknown interaction. Absence of a blend trial does not establish compatibility.
