The typical starting dose of retatrutide is around 2.5 mg, taken once a week. This initial dose is designed to minimize the risk of side effects, such as nausea or dizziness, that may occur when you first begin treatment.
After a few weeks on the starting dose, you may consider increasing your dosage. This process, known as dose escalation, is done gradually to ensure your body can handle the change. Most people increase to 5 mg, and based on their progress, they may eventually move up to 10 mg or more. If you prefer to maintain a dose of 4 mg, that is acceptable as long as the expected results are achieved.
