Guardian finds a thriving trade on Telegram for retatrutide, which is still in clinical trials and illegal to sell
An online parallel market for an unlicensed weight-loss drug is being fuelled by TikTok fitness influencers and sellers on WhatsApp, a Guardian investigation can reveal.
Retatrutide, which is still in clinical trials, is being advertised by social media influencers for its supposed fat-burning effects. Followers are urged to message the accounts privately for supplier links, as well as being provided with discount codes.
