Published research contexts for Oxyntomodulin describe 12 mg per administration. Descriptive only, not a recommendation.

Roughly 12 minutes in plasma; cleared quickly, so the curve is a series of spikes.

A GLP-1 and glucagon receptor dual-acting gut peptide studied for weight reduction in small academic research. The reported schedule was about 400 nmol/kg subcutaneously three times daily before meals (Wynne 2005); it is not established for general use, and the calculator's default of twice daily is the closest available spacing, so no schedule table is shown.

Modelled level — twice a day
