flag A black market for unapproved retatrutide is rising, posing serious health risks as patients seek stronger weight loss options.

flag A black market for retatrutide, a next-generation weight loss drug not approved by U.S. regulators, is growing as patients seek alternatives to existing GLP-1 drugs. flag Marketed for its ability to target three hormone receptors, the drug shows greater effectiveness in trials but is being sold online and via encrypted apps like Telegram, often from China, with orders placed using credit cards or cryptocurrency. flag Users receive unmarked powder requiring self-injection after mixing with sterile water, risking severe side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and stomach blockage. flag Reports of hospitalizations and concerns over contamination, incorrect dosing, and unknown purity highlight significant health risks amid rising demand driven by limited access to approved treatments.
