Half-life estimate, not bloodwork or dosing advice. Disclaimer.
Investigational GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon triple agonist. Weekly doses overlap much like tirzepatide. There is no ester, so the line is the dose itself. Also called Retatrutide.

Phase 1b trial (Urva et al. 2022, Lancet, abstract): half-life ~6 days. No published Tmax; 2 d is an estimate. How the model works.
2 mg once a week for 8 weeks. With a 6d half-life, it levels off around day 35. The row runs longer than that, so the plateau is on the chart. Between doses it runs from about 2.02 to 3.6 mg, a swing of 44%. Each dose is its own spike. After the last dose, the tail takes about 32.5 days to fall to a few percent.
