Marketing around GLP-1 patches can sound confident. This checklist helps you separate claims from evidence without making medical decisions for you.
A practical checklist
- Source of the claim: Is it a peer-reviewed study, a press release, or a testimonial?
- Delivery method: Does the evidence match the patch delivery method being sold?
- Measured outcomes: Look for objective outcomes (labs, weight change over time) rather than opinions alone.
- Regulatory status: If FDA approval is mentioned, verify it using official sources.
- Clinician involvement: Is there a licensed clinician evaluating eligibility and monitoring safety?
Why this matters
GLP-1 therapies in the U.S. are typically prescription-based. Programs that include medical evaluation and follow-up are generally more transparent about risks and eligibility.
