Costs vary based on the length of treatment and medications used
Mutations of arginine 299 to alanine in glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor extracellular loop 2, arginine 289 to alanine in glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor extracellular loop 2, and isoleucine 194 to lysine in glucagon receptor caused variable decreases in retatrutide potency by 3.7-fold, 4.6-fold, and 36.0-fold, respectively [3]
