The risk is there, but consider that it's majorly for Men, over the age of 55, Obese with sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes, and worst in those previously at risk for NAION..
The peak is around 22 months. I'm pushing 18 months so I'll let you know in 4 months .

Actually There's another study that says well there's sort of a risk that isn't generalizable to the public, and worry may be excessive, plus the benefits of GLP1s outweigh said risks (I paraphrase)

Well yeah if one is obese or diabetic and can improve is quality of life consistently and the risk is minuscule it's well worth it. That side effect however could interest more ppl like BBs using it for glucose control where the benefit of using it could be not really worth it compared of risking blindness xD

Again it's all theoretical as you well said at the moment there are no certainty and it's not clear if there is a direct correlation.

Sema 7.2mg and CagriSema trials both ended up being failures(hitting Novo's stock price) , despite early promising results, so worth keeping in mind that Reta may yet turn up with a few surprises of its own, especially with so little data regarding glucagon.

Didn't you and others develop full body skin sensitivity for some unknown reason?

I haven't seen that mentioned in the Reta trial, so maybe it's a special feature of our perfectly made, safety focused Chinese UGL produced copies.

I wouldn't say Sema 7.2 was a failure.. You cannot use stock prices to gauge. Norvo stocks dropped one week because of a super bowl add by hims or whatever their name is, then another week it slightly rebounds again because of links to Sema dampening addiction..
Even Eli Lilly stocks dropped sightly because of moujaro and zep missing targets, but rose again because of another unrelated med

Reta w. A touch of Cagri has been amazing FWIW.

I just said that the other study states that the concern is not applicable to the general population, and I can assure you even people with diabetes do not want to go blind vs blood sugar control. There were diabetes meds before GLPS. I'll find it then runway for the rest of the day.

It's not reported in any of the clinical data for the pharma versions of either of those compounds, including the 3 and 4 year studies, which strongly suggests a systemic immunogenic reaction to me.

Not to be confused with a limited site reaction, also an immune response, but much more limited.

Filtering to remove aggregates could help stop that from happening,

Expanding Bedside Filtration—A Powerful Tool to Protect Patients From Protein Aggregates

Protein immunogenicity is intensively researched by academics, biopharmaceutical companies, and authorities as it can compromise the safety and efficacy of a biopharmaceutical drug. So far, the exact protein aggregate properties inducing immune responses are not known. Possible protein-related...

It's not immune mediated sensitivity. It's allodynia.

Yeah I probably overstated, only obese ppl would probably trade one eye for not being obese anymore xD

 

[Middus]

Allodynia has been reported on other glp1 drugs and doctors are reporting that their patients are starting to develop it on ozempic and Tirzepatide.

There are plenty of ppl on mounjaro and ozempic reporting it too. Unless we don't believe ppl first hand experience or we believe that everyone is on grey GLP1 even when they clearly state they are not. I would stop beating the aggregates war drum incessantly because there are plenty of ppl that filter their GLP1 and still get the allodynia from it.

If you assume that everything is because of ONE single reason you create a narrative that is impossible to agree with and it makes no sense as well plus it makes it a clown joke instead of a good harm reduction practice.

Not everything can be fixed with bed filtration or filtering of peptides, because sometime there is nothing to fix, it's just a side effect and ignoring it or making it seems like they are all mad and it's all because of poor UGL quality makes the whole debate ridiculous.

Correct. A reaction to the 'active ingredient' in a medication cannot be solved by filtering. It's just what it is.

I'm talking about controlling what is in our power to control, and looking at the balance of probabilities. And yes, I give far more weight to high-power clinical studies than a handful of anecdotes.

VS

Proudly boasting that "I don't filter and everything's fine." (not you Sampei)

My idea of harm reduction is lessening of known risks, even if they can't be specifically measured. That's the same approach taken by professionals, who to this day haven't established the precise mechanisms of immunogenicity, but they know enough that aggregates are closely linked so that tremendous effort and expense is invested by pharma and regulators to reduce that risk, and ZERO effort by UGL.

I don't care what strangers do, or if they hurt themselves. This is an intellectual exercise for me, and I put the information out there for those receptive to it and decide they'd prefer to reduce potential harms.

One side defines harm reduction as saving the expense of 50¢ worth of filters and 2 minutes of time, and I define it as taking the precaution of removing particulates that are certainly damaging health, and aggregates that may or may not be.

Filtering at the individual level, even of carefully produced pharma peptides and not our UGL garbage, is recognized as reducing the risk of negative effects, "dramatically". Not my words, but by the world's leading scientists who specialize in this field.

Wow so they suggest even doing this for those who receive peptides through Rx at compound pharmacies?

 

[Research_BestLife]

Who is everyone ordering peptides from now? Or just waiting it out? I've only bought QSC for years now.

You could use metformin for glucose control but then there are other side effects correct?

It's been standard practice at numerous high level hospitals in Europe for years.

Increasingly, for critical lifesaving peptide drugs it's required by the manufacturers. Because if aggregates form, they can cause immunity to develop (as they can against any peptide) and especially with no alternative treatment available, the patient could die as a result.

The reason is simple. No matter how aggregate free the peptide is when it leaves the manufacturer, if it's accidentally exposed to excessive heat, or improperly reconstituted, or dropped, aggregates could form, so better to ensure they're eliminated with a simple filter step than risk injecting them.

As the FDA keeps tightening restrictions on peptide aggregates (they recently lowered the size "of concern" down to .1um to 10um) I suspect we'll see injector pens with filters become the norm. .22um filters obviously eliminate most of them. (below 100um they're sub-visible).

It basically comes down to "can't hurt" and almost certainty a worthwhile precaution.

We don't sterilize vial tops (those of us who do) because failing to do so will likely send you to the hospital. It's to protect against the 1 in 5,000 chance that it does.

What “effects” are you wanting to feel?

Ran it few times before. Always getting bit more watery, strength goes slighly up even the first few days, BP rises if Im not running low dose such as 10mg. Im now at 25mg ED and still nothing as to what it usually does.

Maybe my reaction to trest just changes during the years, but seems odd, most ppl can definetly feel when they are on trest, wouldnt you say so too?

I’ve never personally ran trest. I was just curious what you were looking for as effects could mean a wide range of things.

The reason I like trest is because it gives a nice strength boost, increases appetite, and good for running just a short period to get things moving.

Plan was actually just to do 4 weeks, but now that im few weeks in and still not getting what I want from it, Im not sure if it is underdosed or if I just dont react to trest as I used.

 

[Juiced_lizard]

You could use metformin for glucose control but then there are other side effects correct?

I use metformin once daily at night. 1000mg extended release and haven’t had any side effects that I know of. There are days I don’t take it. Mainly forgetting to take it but most of the time I do.
