GLP-1 injections like semaglutide and tirzepatide are not safe for everyone. The FDA label says some people must never take them, like anyone with a personal or family history of a rare thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma, or a syndrome called MEN 2. Others, like pregnant women, people with type 1 diabetes, or anyone with severe stomach or kidney disease, need a doctor to check them first. This article lists who should avoid GLP-1 medicines and who needs close doctor supervision, in plain words, with the real FDA label as the source. It is not medical advice, it is a screen so you can talk to your doctor the right way.

GLP-1 medicines (like semaglutide and tirzepatide) help with weight loss and blood sugar. They work well for many people. But they are not safe for everyone. Some people should never take them. Others can take them only after a doctor checks them carefully. In India, many people now buy these injections online or from a chemist without a doctor's visit. That is the risky part. A doctor screen is not a formality, it is the step that catches the people for whom this medicine can cause real harm. This article tells you who should NOT take GLP-1 medicines, and who needs close doctor supervision first. Every rule here comes from the FDA medicine label, the official paper that comes with the drug. This is not medical advice. It is a map so you know what to tell your doctor before you start.
