Retatrutide reconstitution.

Retatrutide is currently investigational — research-purpose-only vials typically ship at 10 mg or 20 mg. Standard reconstitution mirrors tirzepatide: 2 mL bacteriostatic water for clean dosing math.

Retatrutide specifics

What to know about this peptide.

Half-life

Half-life ~6 days. Once-weekly. Steady-state takes 4-5 weeks per dose step.

Stability after mixing

Refrigerate after reconstitution. Treat as 28-day stability unless manufacturer guidance differs.

Typical use

Investigational (Phase 3). Most aggressive weight loss in trial data to date. Off-label/research use only currently.

Not medical advice

The math on this page is correct for the listed vial and BAC-water volume. The decision to reconstitute and inject Retatrutide belongs to you and a clinician who knows your full history — not to a webpage.

Frequently asked

Retatrutide questions

What vial size is Retatrutide usually sold in?

Retatrutide most commonly ships as 10 mg or 20 mg of lyophilized powder. The standard reconstitution is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, which yields clean unit-mark math on a U-100 insulin syringe for the doses used in most protocols.

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a Retatrutide vial?

The standard volume is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. You can use more (easier to draw, lower concentration) or less (more concentrated, smaller draw volume) without changing the peptide itself — only the syringe math changes. The dose table on this page is pre-calculated for 2 mL.

What is the half-life of Retatrutide?

Half-life ~6 days. Once-weekly. Steady-state takes 4-5 weeks per dose step.

How long does reconstituted Retatrutide last in the fridge?

Refrigerate after reconstitution. Treat as 28-day stability unless manufacturer guidance differs.

What is Retatrutide typically used for?

Investigational (Phase 3). Most aggressive weight loss in trial data to date. Off-label/research use only currently.

What syringe should I use for Retatrutide?

U-100 insulin syringes (29–31 gauge, 8–13 mm needle) are standard for subcutaneous peptide injection. Each unit on a U-100 syringe equals 0.01 mL. The dose table above shows how many units to draw for each common dose, given the vial size and standard bacteriostatic water volume.
