Self-reported titration described in community sources: 0.25 mg 3x/week for week 1, then 0.5 mg 3x/week thereafter, with optional 8-week-on / 8-week-off cycling
Future studies should focus on the long-term outcomes of retatrutide treatment, including its impact on obesity-related complications and quality of life
