Online GLP-1 Agonist Prescriptions

JAMA Network

About The Study: This secret shopper study found that online glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) prescription vendors often did not require clinician interaction, relying primarily on patient-reported questionnaires that may not capture important clinical and social history. Several findings suggest limited oversight: multiple GLP-1 RA prescriptions from the same clinicians, prescriptions issued despite missing required photos, and prescriptions issued within 5 minutes or less.
