doses of Retatrutide used in research
Investigational: no FDA approval (Drugs@FDA and the FDA statement checked 5 November 2026), and Lilly states it has not been approved by any regulator; Lilly plans a US submission in the first quarter of 2027. The phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 (NEJM 2026) and TRIUMPH-2 (Lancet 2026) trials randomized participants to 4, 9 or 12 mg once weekly for 80 weeks. These are the amounts specific labels and studies used, linked to each source. They are references, not recommendations; a prescription label takes priority.

|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 (NEJM 2026): 4, 9 or 12 mg weekly for 80 weeks phase 3 trial · 2026 · PMID 42814954 | 2,339 adults with obesity, without diabetes (including subgroups of 574 with knee osteoarthritis and 243 with obstructive sleep apnea) | 12 mg once weekly 80 weeks Arms were 4 mg, 9 mg and 12 mg; 12 mg is the highest. Mean weight change was -17.6% (4 mg), -23.7% (9 mg) and -25.0% (12 mg), vs -3.9% with placebo. Neither the abstract nor the registry (NCT05929066) gives the escalation schedule. | subcutaneous |
| Phase 3 TRIUMPH-2 (Lancet 2026): obesity with type 2 diabetes, 4, 9 or 12 mg weekly phase 3 trial · 2026 · PMID 42810372 | 1,152 adults with BMI 27 or higher and type 2 diabetes (HbA1c 6.5-10.5%) | 12 mg once weekly 80 weeks Mean weight change at week 80 was -11.9% (4 mg), -16.8% (9 mg) and -18.8% (12 mg), vs -5.1% with placebo. Permanent discontinuation due to adverse events or death was 12% (9 mg) and 8% (12 mg). Registry: NCT05929079. | subcutaneous |
| Phase 2 (NEJM 2023): 12 mg weekly arm, started at 2 mg phase 2 trial · 2023 · PMID 37366315 | 338 adults with BMI 30 or higher (or 27 to under 30 with a weight-related condition), without diabetes | 2 mg → 4 mg → 8 mg → 12 mg once weekly 48 weeks Arms were 1 mg, 4 mg (2 mg or 4 mg start), 8 mg (2 mg or 4 mg start) and 12 mg (2 mg start). The step order is from registry NCT04881760, which does not state how long each step lasted. Mean weight change at 48 weeks in the 12 mg group was -24.2%. | subcutaneous |

10 units on a U-100 syringe is 0.1 mL. Every cell is exact arithmetic: amount ÷ water.
what the numbers mean · where they come from
terms and sources
- Label amount or measured amount. The calculator starts from the amount printed on the vial. A lot certificate’s measured content (net peptide content, in mg) can replace it for the vial that was tested. HPLC purity is a share of peak area, not a mass, so a purity-only correction is shown as an estimate. See HPLC, certificate of analysis and how to read a peptide COA.
- Concentration. Amount in the vial ÷ water added. Terms: reconstitution, bacteriostatic water, lyophilized.
- Syringe units. A volume: 0.01 mL per unit on a U-100 syringe, 0.025 mL on U-40. Units say nothing about the compound until the concentration is known.
- Cost per draw. Vial price × amount per draw ÷ vial amount, from the price per mg of a current offer. Offers come from the Retatrutide price comparison; certificates from the COA library.
Arithmetic only, on the numbers entered. Amounts from labels or trials are cited references, not recommendations; PeptideTech does not give personal use instructions and does not test products.
