Retatrutide is administered as a subcutaneous injection, meaning the needle goes into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin rather than into muscle or vein. The injection is performed using an insulin syringe with a fine-gauge needle \u2014 typically 30G to 31G, which is thin enough that most people feel minimal discomfort. The injection volume varies by dose and reconstitution ratio. At the standard concentration of 5 mg\/mL used in the TRIUMPH clinical trials, a 2 mg dose requires 0.4 mL or 40 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe.<\/p>\n
Rotating injection sites with each dose reduces the risk of lipohypertrophy \u2014 a buildup of fatty tissue under the skin that can interfere with drug absorption. The recommended rotation schedule for retatrutide follows the same pattern used for insulin: alternate between the left and right sides of the abdomen, and between the abdomen and the thighs on a weekly rotation. The upper arm can also be used if someone else is administering the injection. Keeping a simple log of injection sites helps ensure proper rotation and prevents overuse of any single site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
