Transfer to refrigerated storage the moment you receive your order. Do not leave unattended or delay collection. Tamper-evident sealing confirms product integrity at handover.
Step 01
Protocol Overview
“Retatrutide maintenance — one pen, one month, your dose.”
The R40 Maintenance Pen is designed for clients who have completed a structured Retatrutide onboarding protocol and confirmed their effective dose. Delivering 40 mg across 160 precision clicks, the R40 provides exactly one month of maintenance-phase support at the dose that works for you — without the larger volume of an onboarding pen. The rational next step after completing the R25 or R50.
Step 02
Mechanism of Action
In the maintenance phase of a Retatrutide protocol, the goal shifts from dose escalation to sustained metabolic equilibrium. The R40 delivers your confirmed effective dose consistently across a monthly cycle, supporting continued appetite regulation, metabolic rate maintenance, and body composition stability. The 0.25 mg per click precision remains identical to the onboarding pens, ensuring no dosing disruption at transition.
Suggested Use
One weekly subcutaneous administration at your confirmed maintenance dose. Dose confirmed through prior protocol and order review.
Who This Protocol Is For
For established Retatrutide users in Bangkok and Thailand who have completed onboarding and confirmed their effective dose. Not a starting protocol — requires prior onboarding and dose confirmation.
Storage — Bangkok & Thailand
Refrigerate between 2–8°C. Consistent storage is especially important for ongoing monthly protocols — establish a permanent refrigerated storage location before beginning maintenance phase.
Delivery — Thailand
Peptide pens are shipped under strict cold-chain handling — handled as refrigerated products at 2–8°C wherever available. Available in supported cold-chain delivery areas only.
Refrigerate immediately on receipt. You must be present to receive the delivery directly.
Potential Side Effects
- GI effects — typically diminish once maintenance dose is established through onboarding; report any persistence through My Account
- Injection site reactions — transient redness or discomfort at administration site
- Dysesthesia (tingling or altered skin sensation) — reported at higher doses; relevant if dose increases from confirmed maintenance level
- Cardiac effects under active investigation in ongoing Phase 3 trials — prior medical suitability review required

What Is Retatrutide?
Retatrutide (LY3437943) is a synthetic once-weekly peptide developed by Eli Lilly — the first triple hormone receptor agonist to enter Phase 3 clinical trials. Where semaglutide activates one receptor and tirzepatide activates two, retatrutide simultaneously activates three: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. This triple mechanism produces compounding effects on appetite, fat metabolism, and energy expenditure that neither dual nor single agonists can replicate.
By targeting three complementary metabolic pathways at once, retatrutide addresses the biology of excess weight from multiple angles simultaneously. The result is weight loss outcomes that exceed what single or dual agonist compounds can achieve — including outcomes comparable to bariatric surgery in a subset of patients.
Semaglutide
Ozempic / Wegovy
Mechanism
GLP-1 only
Peak weight loss
~13.9%
Tirzepatide
Mounjaro / Zepbound
Mechanism
GLP-1 + GIP
Peak weight loss
~17.8–20.9%
Retatrutide
Pending (LY3437943)
Mechanism
GLP-1 + GIP + Glucagon
Peak weight loss
~28.3–30.3%
Cross-trial comparisons have inherent limitations. A head-to-head trial would be required for definitive conclusions.
Triple Mechanism
What Each Agonist Does
GLP-1
Glucagon-Like Peptide-1
Role
Appetite and insulin regulation
Slows gastric emptying to reduce caloric intake, suppresses appetite signals in the hypothalamus, and stimulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion. GLP-1 agonism is the foundation of semaglutide and tirzepatide — and the primary mechanism of all incretin-based compounds.
Key Effect
Appetite reduction + insulin sensitivity
Also in: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide
GIP
Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide
Role
Nutrient partitioning and fat cell metabolism
Enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, modulates how the body partitions incoming calories between storage and use, and appears to amplify the appetite-suppressing effects of GLP-1 agonism. GIP is the second receptor targeted by tirzepatide — and a key contributor to its weight loss advantage over semaglutide.
Key Effect
Enhanced insulin sensitivity + fat cell regulation
Also in: Tirzepatide
Glucagon
Glucagon Receptor
Role
Energy expenditure and direct liver fat clearance
The critical differentiator. Glucagon receptor activation directly stimulates the liver to burn stored fat (fatty acid oxidation) and suppresses new fat synthesis (de novo lipogenesis). It also increases basal metabolic rate and thermogenesis — meaning the body burns more calories at rest. No approved obesity medication targets this receptor. It is the mechanism responsible for retatrutide's unprecedented liver fat reduction data.
Key Effect
Increased energy expenditure + hepatic fat clearance
Also in: Unique to Retatrutide among approved/late-stage compounds
Beyond Weight Loss
Emerging Benefits From Clinical Data
Clinical trial data surfacing across the TRIUMPH program suggests retatrutide may offer systemic benefits beyond weight management — driven by the glucagon receptor component that neither semaglutide nor tirzepatide possess.
Metabolic Liver Disease (MASLD/MASH)
The glucagon receptor component drives direct hepatic fat oxidation — the liver burns its stored triglycerides. Phase 2a data (Nature Medicine, 2024) showed 82.4% liver fat reduction and more than 85% liver fat normalization at the 12 mg dose. Phase 3 MASLD/MASH-specific trials are underway.
Knee Osteoarthritis
TRIUMPH-1 reported a nested knee osteoarthritis basket trial, with WOMAC pain scores reduced by up to 4.3 points (73.1%) at 80 weeks. TRIUMPH-4 remains the dedicated knee osteoarthritis study in the registry.
Systemic Inflammation
TRIUMPH-1 investigators noted "clear improvements in assessed cardiometabolic health measures" including inflammatory markers. The triple receptor mechanism appears to address metabolic inflammation through multiple pathways — weight-independent of the pure weight loss effect.
Insulin Resistance
TRIUMPH-2 topline data in adults with type 2 diabetes and obesity or overweight reported up to 20.8% mean weight loss and A1C reductions of up to 1.6 percentage points over 80 weeks.
Sleep Apnoea
TRIUMPH-1 reported a nested moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnoea basket trial, with apnea-hypopnea index reduced by up to 36.1 events per hour (60.6%) at 80 weeks.
Cardiovascular Outcomes
TRIUMPH-3 reported up to 22.6% mean weight loss at 80 weeks in adults with severe obesity and established cardiovascular disease. Its pre-specified cardiovascular event analyses were underpowered and inconclusive, so the dedicated TRIUMPH-Outcomes study remains the key cardiovascular and kidney outcomes trial.
All emerging benefit data is from Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trial publications and official Eli Lilly announcements. Retatrutide is investigational. Benefits described are not confirmed clinical indications.
