What happened: A Guardian investigation revealed companies in the UK are selling unlicensed weight-loss injections, despite high Trustpilot scores. One firm, Retatrutide UK, offers a drug not approved for sale or use, charging £132 per 20mg pen.
Why it matters:
- Consumers risk health issues from unregulated, illegal medications.
- Regulatory gaps allow unsafe sellers to appear trustworthy online.
MNN Take: The findings highlight challenges in policing online drug sales, where positive reviews can mislead buyers about product safety and legality.
