Patients are encouraged to report any unexpected side effects from either treatment to the MHRA via the Yellow Card scheme (yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk), which plays a vital role in post-market safety surveillance and helps build the evidence base for emerging therapies such as retatrutide

However, if side effects become persistent, continue to get worse, or become unbearable, talk with your doctor about the dosage
Combining with other peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 for healing, MOTS-c for metabolic support, or growth hormone secretagogues lacks formal study but is practiced in some protocols
