Hi everyone, at some stage I want to give Reta a go (it isn't regulated in the UK at the moment) though I expect that will change eventually (and then prices will go through the roof, just like they did with monjaro). My aim is to finally get rid of some stubborn fat. I'm into body building, have been doing it for a few years, and I'm hoping to push things further before long!
 
Greetings. The prescription prices in this country are absurd. Because of my numbers and high blood pressure, a script is within reach for me, yet the cost would come to roughly 20 times what importing it myself would run. That's outrageous price gouging.

My wife takes monjaro, and the price has gone through the roof — it's crazy. Compared with reta, it barely seems to stack up (reta appears to give your metabolism a boost too!). I keep wondering whether it will ever actually arrive here, only for them to demand the same arm and leg as the grey market charges.
 
As soon as it gets the green light, it will show up on this platform, and the price will probably be outrageous. That's how wealthy people keep their wealth. Fortunately, thanks to communities like this and our own testing, we can use grey market options with a fair degree of safety 👍

Checking prices, monjaro currently runs around £300 or so for a month at up to 10mg...
 
Completely crazy. I haven't actually explored the official path. Given that my GP would prescribe it for my situation, as long as I thoroughly check where it's coming from, I don't see any distinction between using the grey market and the legit route—except for a lot of money saved.
