I searched the forum but haven’t found any mention of this side effect from Reta.
I have a small lipoma on my arm. About 15yrs ago I had a small, pea sized lipoma removed from my forearm. Shortly after the removal, within weeks, a second lipoma which was about TicTac sized began to grow. Slowly but consistently over the last 15yrs it became about the size of a chickpea. Non-cancerous blah blah. Became very obvious, visible in photos etc.
Couple months ago I started a low dose of Reta, 2mg and titrated up to 4mg. Over the last 5months the lipoma has significantly reduced in size, down to its original TicTac size. I have been in a caloric surplus throughout.
Just a random observation and positive side effect of my Reta experience…it may reduce the volume of a lipoma. Only change has been the introduction of low dose Reta.
