Weight Loss Drugs: Risks and Real Dangers | Perth News
Description
Australia’s weight loss drug crisis is escalating—over 2,800 adverse reactions and 62 deaths linked to Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. A terrifying new twist: a counterfeit version of experimental drug retatrutide caused a hospitalization after tearing a patient’s esophagus. Still in trials, retatrutide is being sold illegally in plain vials online, with regulators warning it could contain anything dangerous. Eli Lilly and the TGA are sounding alarms as unregulated peptides slip into the market without safety checks. Even approved drugs carry serious risks—from digestive issues to vision problems—making informed caution more critical than ever.
