Retatrutide
Also called LY3437943.
Legal status in Australia
Not specifically scheduled
Not named anywhere in the June 2026 Poisons Standard, because it is still investigational and not approved as a medicine in Australia or anywhere else. Unscheduled is not a loophole here: an unapproved therapeutic good cannot lawfully be supplied for human use, so anything sold as retatrutide is outside the approved supply chain entirely.
