Retatrutide is a triple agonist weight-loss drug being developed for obesity and other weight-related conditions. It is a once-weekly injection designed to target three receptors involved in appetite and metabolism: GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon. Because it activates all three, Retatrutide is often referred to as a “Triple G” weight-loss medication or a triple hormone receptor agonist.
