Published May 3, 2026Updated May 3, 2026Source-reviewed against official FDA, manufacturer, trial, and label sources

Do not use half-life estimates from forums or seller pages to create a retatrutide dosing schedule. Retatrutide has no FDA-approved public label.

Direct answer

The safest public answer is that Lilly describes retatrutide as once weekly in clinical trials, but there is no FDA-approved retatrutide label for public-use half-life or dosing decisions.

Known public context

Retatrutide is studied once weekly in Lilly clinical trials.
