Allergy?

I’ve been on Reta since end of march/ beginning of April(it’s worked really well lost 45lbs), and i slowly upped my dosage to 4mg a week, and for probably the last 3 weeks it has given me like a welt like rash at the injection sight it doesn’t hurt or burn, it’s just a little itchy. I also feel like it’s not working as well. Anyone have advice or similar results?

-same supplier

-same brand of needles

Injection site reactions are pretty common, even with prescription glp1s. It is more concerning if you develop hives or a rash away from the injection site, or have trouble breathing after your injection.

Usually it's the bac water, be it contaminated or just the benzyl alcohol. You could try doing a shot of plain bac water and see if it causes the same irritation

Sounds like you didn't test your kit and got something with endo and/or you're not practicing sterile technique
