Retatrutide (LY3437943) is an INVESTIGATIONAL COMPOUND that is NOT FDA-approved for any use. It is not a component of any FDA-approved drug. There is NO legal compounding pathway for retatrutide under FDCA Section 503A or 503B.

Ohio has announced immediate licensure suspension for anyone compounding, selling, or administering retatrutide. By signing this document, you acknowledge and assume extraordinary risks.
Retatrutide is Eli Lilly’s first-in-class triple hormone receptor agonist targeting GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors simultaneously. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials (the TRIUMPH program). The first Phase 3 results (TRIUMPH-4, December 2025) showed up to 28.7% weight loss at 68 weeks. A potential NDA submission is projected for Q4 2026/Q1 2027, with possible FDA approval in late 2027 at the earliest.
The full risk profile is unknown. Known risks from clinical trial data include all GLP-1 agonist risks (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastroparesis, pancreatitis, thyroid tumor risk) PLUS risks from glucagon receptor activation (increased heart rate, lipid metabolism effects, potential hepatic effects). Unknown long-term risks may emerge.
