Retatrutide is a novel triple-agonist peptide developed by Eli Lilly for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. It represents a significant advancement in metabolic therapeutics by simultaneously targeting three key hormone receptors.
Unlike single or dual-agonist medications, Retatrutide activates GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors together, creating a synergistic effect that addresses multiple aspects of metabolic dysfunction.
