Retatrutide is an investigational medicine being studied as a once-weekly injection for weight loss in people with obesity or overweight who have weight-related health problems. It works on three different gut hormone receptors at once, which is why it is sometimes called a "triple agonist" or "triple G" medicine. It is not yet approved by any drug regulator and can only be given to people taking part in clinical trials.
