I’ve been getting Reta from my Dr for the past 2 months. Not part of any clinical trials. And when I asked about where they were getting it, she said there is compounding in US that’s available for Dr. Anyone heard of this???
Can Drs get Reta

Practically it’s not in compliance unless I’ve missed something.

Nope, never heard of that.
What doctor are you going to that's writing you a prescription for and providing a drug that is not commercially available and is not FDA approved? No there are not legal compounding pharmacies in the US, they are getting it from the same places we are.
A lot of people get Reta and Tirz mixed up. Is the product she's giving you labeled? Is there a manufacturer name?Alc23 said:
Yes, can we see a picture of the vial? Or is the dr just shooting you up in the office?FartfulCodger said:
That’s what I thought…I’d come to that conclusion and decided I preferred my research and vetting to theirs. But fresh out of my appointment and asked her point blank and that’s what she said. Also, it’s not like she would/could say on the grey market, lol
But I figured, maybe I’d missed the memo?? She hand writes the prescription info (Retatrutide) and gives me preloaded syringes. This is my primary care, not telehealth or a medi/weight loss clinic- naturopathic leanings but a licensed doc

You should be looking for a new doctor if she's providing you with pre loaded syringes or Chinese peptides and lying about them being legally prescribed from us compounding pharmacies what else is she doing?Alc23 said:
Something very wrong here. She writes the script and gives you the syringes? How much are these loaded syringes?Alc23 said:
I hear ya. But I wanted to be sure there weren’t truly compounding pharmacies in US doing it- albeit not in compliance with the lawsTooGood76 said:
When I have watched the likes of ''Dr Jones'' on YouTube, he tends to say he ''prescribes'' his patients to many peptides which are not FDA approved, so I wouldn't say they are legally giving out a prescription but maybe its just a term they use in the medical sector, but I know there are many of the US peptide sellers are using the similar term.
This Doctor sounds awesome. Contact info please!?!?
Not a script. Just the prescription info- name, dose, etc. on the container with a 1 month supply. I’m micro dosing so it was only 1mg total for the month. But now that I’m typing all of this out…I prob should find a new doc 
Price was $20/mg and if I thought it was compounded in the US/tested etc
I might consider the extra cost/piece of mind

Pretty sure you mean mg. How much in a syringe, and how much?Alc23 said:
Yes- definitely meant mg! Between 2-3 units on a 1ml syringe- such a small amount you could barely see it.
I assume you mean mg if so she's marking up grey market peptides and charging you a 20x premium lmao you've gotta respect the hustle.Alc23 said:Not a script.

rofl .. sure we are doing our own compounding every time we mix up a batch of something. That's what this dude is doing. $20 per mg huh .. so 2mg a week (beginning dose) is an income of $173 a month. Then he gets people up to a 10mg a week dose and he's making $867 a month. How many patients does he have on this scheme? 10? 50? 100? He's probably got quite the little operation going for himself.Alc23 said:
That being said I'm not so sure I would turn him in. While he is absolutely taking advantage of his patients .. he is probably also helping them lose weight .. many of whom might not have the ability or willingness to tackle the grey market on their own.
Oh .. and to answer the question .. what he is doing is not legal.
I know my Dr can get it from a compound pharmacy, but he has said he only does it if other GLP-1's have failed and other weight loss supplements haven't worked out. Kind of a nuclear option, so I respect that.
