How does retatrutide at 4 mg weekly compare on cost per milligram across routes?

Asked 11 Aug 2024Modified 2.0 years agoViewed 13k times

What I am working with: retatrutide · 4 mg.

I have worked this out and I would like someone to find the error, because I suspect there is one.

My working so far, for the record, is below, and I am fairly sure the error is in the unit conversion rather than the algebra.

Where is my error, and what is the correct working?

5I tested this on two lots and got the same answer, so at least it reproduces. – mira_sundqvist 9 months ago
