Mazdutide (5 mg Vial)
Mazdutide (IBI362) is a long‑acting dual GLP‑1/glucagon receptor agonist developed for chronic weight management and type 2 diabetes. Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials have demonstrated substantial weight loss (6–14% reduction over 24–48 weeks) with mostly mild gastrointestinal side effects. This educational protocol presents a once‑weekly subcutaneous approach with practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements.
- Dose
- Research dosing varies (typically 3-6mg weekly)
- Frequency
- Once weekly
- Timing
- Any consistent time
- Duration
- 12–24 weeks
Dual GLP-1/Glucagon agonist. Metabolic research. Gradual dose escalation recommended.
