Safety Checklist

With the rising popularity of weight loss injections, the market has seen an increase in counterfeit products and unlicensed sellers. Use this checklist to ensure you are sourcing your medication safely.

1. Verify the Provider

Only purchase from licensed pharmacies or telehealth platforms.

  • Check for Licensing: Look for registration numbers or seals from pharmacy regulatory bodies in your region.
  • Requirement for Prescription: Legitimate providers will ALWAYS require a medical consultation (or proof of existing prescription) before selling GLP-1 medications. If they sell it "no questions asked," it is unsafe.

2. Check the Product Packaging

When you receive your medication, inspect it carefully.

  • Language: The packaging should be in the official language of your country/region.
  • Seals: Ensure safety seals are intact.
  • Details: Check for lot numbers and expiration dates.
  • Appearance: The pen mechanism should look professional and match manufacturer images. The liquid should be clear and colorless.

3. Cold Chain Shipping

GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro require refrigeration.

  • Your package should arrive in temperature-controlled packaging (insulated box with ice packs).
  • If the medication arrives warm or hot, contact the pharmacy immediately and do not use it.

4. Red Flags to Avoid

Avoid If:

Prices are suspiciously low (e.g., 50% below market average).

Avoid If:

Payment is requested via cryptocurrency or wire transfer only.

Avoid If:

The seller is on social media without a verifiable website.

Avoid If:

Compounded versions are sold without clear sourcing information.
