Healthcare Strategies

Regulating and monitoring the online GLP-1 market


Listen Later

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) medications are revolutionizing weight loss and diabetes care, but behind the hype lies a growing web of regulatory gaps, telehealth expansion and online pharmacy risks. This episode unpacks the opportunities -- and dangers -- shaping the future of these life-changing drugs.

 

Featuring: Scott Roth, Chief Executive Officer, LegitScript

Gerard Olsen, Director of Research, LegitScript

 

In today’s episode, we'll cover…

  • The skyrocketing demand for GLP-1 medications and their influence on weight loss trends, including a 26% drop in bariatric surgeries
  • How telehealth and online pharmacies are reshaping access to GLP-1 drugs -- and the risks posed by rogue sellers and counterfeit products
  • The critical need for stronger regulatory enforcement and LegitScript's role in ensuring safety and transparency in the online healthcare market
  •
