Mazdutide

Mazdutide is a dual glucagon and GLP-1 receptor agonist, an oxyntomodulin analog that pairs appetite suppression with glucagon-driven energy expenditure and liver fat reduction. It stays investigational in phase 2 and 3 trials, developed by Innovent and Eli Lilly, with no FDA approval. Below you'll find reported dosing, reconstitution, safety, and legal status.

CategoryGLP-1 / Metabolic
Regulatory statusInvestigational; not FDA-approved.

Mechanism

A dual glucagon receptor (GCGR) and GLP-1 receptor agonist (an oxyntomodulin analog), combining appetite suppression and glycemic benefit with glucagon-mediated increases in energy expenditure and hepatic fat reduction.

Half-life

uncertain from public data; engineered for once-weekly subcutaneous dosing. Commonly reported use/dosing: No approved protocol. In trials administered as once-weekly subcutaneous injection with dose escalation; not a validated or prescribable regimen outside studies.

Regulatory status

Investigational; not FDA-approved. Developed by Innovent/Eli Lilly, with regulatory activity centered in China for obesity/type 2 diabetes. Not approved in the US.

Safety

GI effects typical of incretins (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite); glucagon-agonism raises theoretical concerns about heart rate and glucose handling. Long-term safety not established.

Evidence

Phase 2/3 clinical development; not yet approved (most advanced regulatory progress in China).
