Oxyntomodulin
Also called OXM, Glucagon(1-37)
per administration
It has been used in people, but no trial has settled how much or how often.
Quick start
Oxyntomodulin at a glance — the figures, plus how it's commonly run. Reference only, not medical advice.
- Typical dose
- 1–2 mg per administration
- How often
- Twice a day
- Where
- Subcutaneous — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm Sites and rotation
- Time to steady level
- ~1 hours — about five half-lives
- Storage
- Dry vial kept cold and dark; a mixed vial in the fridge at 2–8 °C. Details
A research and community reference, not medical advice. Figures are descriptive, vary between sources, and are not a recommendation for use.

Published research contexts for Oxyntomodulin describe 1–2 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
1× is the peak after a single dose.
- Steady-state peak
- 0.98× single dose
- Time to steady state
- 1hours
- Administrations
- 14/ week
