India's growing demand for GLP-1 weight-loss medicines has led to a rise in misleading products on e-commerce websites. Searches for "GLP-1" on major platforms show patches, powders and capsules that do not contain GLP-1 medicines such as semaglutide or tirzepatide. Health experts warned that these products are not approved GLP-1 treatments and may not provide similar results. They said true GLP-1 medicines are prescription drugs and cannot be delivered through patches or drinks. Experts advised buyers to read product labels carefully and avoid confusing marketing terms like "GLP-1 support" or "GLP-1 booster."
