Godzilla Jab: The Illegal Weight Loss Drug Epidemic | UK News

from UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A new weight loss drug called retatrutide, dubbed the Godzilla jab for its supposed power, is flooding social media—sold illegally even by people tied to Cambridge University. Originating from massive Chinese labs, it’s being resold at sky-high profits, despite being unlicensed in the UK. Over 100 side effect reports and one confirmed death have been logged, with experts warning this trend normalizes dangerous experimentation. Made by Eli Lilly (makers of Ozempic), it’s still in trials and carries serious risks like nausea and digestive issues. Regulators are sounding the alarm: these sellers prioritize profit over safety, and users could be seriously harmed.
