Dosage protocol · Metabolic & Weight Loss
Mazdutide 10 mg
Typical weekly range: 2.5–5 mg once weekly with gradual titration.
- Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~3.33 mg/mL concentration (standard protocol).
- Typical weekly range: 2.5–5 mg once weekly with gradual titration.
- Easy measuring: At 3.33 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 33.3 mcg on a U‑100 insulin syringe.
- Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.[7]

How it works
Mazdutide (research code IBI362) is a synthetic peptide drug candidate designed to activate two hormone receptors at once: the GLP-1 receptor and the glucagon receptor. It belongs to the same broad incretin-drug family as approved medicines like semaglutide and tirzepatide, but its specific dual-receptor combination is unique to its own clinical program.
Mazdutide is being developed mainly for obesity, overweight, and type 2 diabetes, with clinical trials concentrated in China, where its development is furthest along.[1] It is not a finished, approved medicine — it remains an investigational compound moving through clinical-trial phases.
Benefits & side effects
Mazdutide has advanced through randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials, mostly in Chinese adults, evaluating body-weight change in people with obesity or overweight and glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, including a head-to-head comparison against the approved GLP-1 drug dulaglutide.[9] Phase 3 obesity trials have reported weight loss at multiple weekly doses (in the 4 mg to 10 mg range) compared with placebo.[8]
This is genuine clinical-trial evidence, but it is still concentrated in one population, over a relatively short follow-up, and has not been replicated at the scale or geographic breadth of the evidence behind semaglutide or tirzepatide. Preclinical animal and mechanistic studies support the liver-fat and energy-expenditure rationale but do not establish outcomes in people.
