How to Read the Half-Life View

Retatrutide uses a 6-day half-life in this view. Each injection appears at its full dose at the moment it is given, then the amount falls by half every 6 days. A weekly dose still has about 45% remaining when the next dose is given, so the doses overlap.1

The result is shown in mg eq. It is a dose-and-time estimate, not a lab measurement. The view makes schedule changes easy to compare, but it does not model the hours a subcutaneous injection takes to absorb.

Method

Half-life calculation

Retatrutide uses a 6-day comparison half-life. For one injection, remaining amount = dose × 2^(-elapsed time / half-life). The page adds every prior injection at the exact selected interval and assumes the full dose is available at injection time.1

How the summaries are calculated

The cards use a repeating steady-state interval. Peak is the highest modeled value between injections, trough is the value just before the next injection, and average is the interval average. Δ Delta is peak divided by trough. Reached by shot X is the first injection whose peak reaches 95% of the repeating steady-state peak. The table starts at the first injection and shows finite accumulation through shot 12.

What mg eq. means

In the half-life view, mg eq. is the sum of the dose-equivalent amount remaining from every prior injection. Bioavailability and absorption time are not applied.

Scope and limits

The six-day value comes from a small single-dose study in healthy participants. This view applies that average to every dose and interval. It does not adjust for body weight, body composition, or individual variability.
