The retatrutide weight loss drug scam

[Retro]

I can't believe people are stupid enough to fall for this, yet they are. Retatrutide is an up and coming drug that's meant to be much more effective than the ones currently on the market, so one can see the attraction, but don't be fooled.

They're buying a knockoff copy of a drug called retatrutide that's still in the testing phase by its manufacturer and is illegal to sell, yet scammers operating on Facebook and the like peddle this dangerous fake garbage that can maim or kill. One woman went blind in one eye and vomited uncontrollably. Don't be another statistic.

Let me tell you about weight loss drugs, m'kay..... weight loss drugs are bad, m'kay.

Whether it be some knockoff, or "the real deal" Retatrutide, all of them will do more harm than good. That also goes for the wayyy too popular Ozempic, by NovoNordisk, one of the biggest and richest companies in Europe. Just because they have the (bought) status of being "reputable", doesn't mean it's a good idea to use chemicals that mess with your bodyweight management if you just as well exercise more and not eat like a hippo (let's be real here). It's common sense, and infinitely more healthy. There is no shortcut for weightloss without paying some price for it sooner or later. Even the "legit" drugs come with some horror stories.

@Hitcore You probably won't like my latest update here, then.

Why weight loss drugs may be no obesity silver bullet

Indeed, there's no silver bullet to weight loss unfortunately, but the likes of semaglutide and mounjaro do help significantly by suppressing cravings which totally sabotage a diet, along with the body sabotaging it anyway, as per the NZ thread below. And despite the undoubted benefits the...

I stand by my previous message here: going natty is always best. Personally I've lost noticable weight since December. Because of exercise and not eating junk.

Undoubtedly those drugs "work". As in: yeah you'll lose weight because of it. But what are the long term effects of these drugs? It's too soon to tell.

Another side effect of these drugs is that people will get sort of addicted to them and rely on them too much, because as long as they are taking them, they can pretty much eat whatever the hell they want while maintaining their weight.

Ergo: it's still orders of magnitude better to go the trialed and natural way.

Yeah the knockoffs are shit but the real ones aren't much better tbh

People going blind and vomiting from fake drugs is horrific. What's also horrific? The exact same thing happening from the legitimate pharmacy versions. The blindness thing (NAION) is all over the news now with Ozempic and Wegovy. And the vomiting isn't just nausea, it's full stomach paralysis that doesn't go away.

I took prescription Mounjaro, got it from my actual doctor, proper pharmacy. Six months later I've got permanent digestive damage and vision problems in my left eye.

I'm working with Defective Drug Site because even the FDA-approved manufacturers buried safety data about these complications. Apparently there are lawsuits with thousands of people who got screwed by the real drugs.

Avoid the scams for sure. Just know the legitimate versions are causing serious damage too.

Welcome to NZ @ulumen55
I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience with the legit drugs.

It's not all over the news here in the UK though. Can you link to an article so that people can learn more about these problems?

I'm in US now, but definitely can share the link - https://defectivedrugsite.com/glp-1-drug-lawsuits-2026/ and hope people will learn from others mistakes.

@ulumen55 Just had a brief look at that link. The site looks legit and the side effects serious so everyone should know about these. Thanks for posting this.
