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

FDA manages 503B pharmacies:

Amazing Meds - 715506 - 09/09/2025

Unlawful Sale of Unapproved and Misbranded Drugs to United States Consumers Over the Internet (Telehealth)

www.fda.gov
 
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?

Yes, can we see a picture of the vial? Or is the dr just shooting you up in the office?
 
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?

Something very wrong here. She writes the script and gives you the syringes? How much are these loaded syringes?

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 laws

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
 
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.

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.

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.
