How to Avoid Fake Tirzepatide Online: NZ Safety Guide

Counterfeit weight loss products are dangerous. Learn red flags and how to access treatment safely.

As demand for weight loss medications grows, so do scams. Fake tirzepatide products are being sold online, and they can be dangerous. Here's how to protect yourself.

The Problem: Counterfeit Weight Loss Products

Counterfeit injectable medications have caused serious harm globally, including:

  • Products containing no active ingredient (you pay but get nothing)
  • Products with incorrect doses (too much or too little)
  • Contaminated products causing infections
  • Completely different substances being sold as tirzepatide

Red Flags: How to Spot a Scam

No Prescription Required

Legitimate tirzepatide always requires a prescription from a registered doctor. Any website selling it without a prescription is either illegal, selling fakes, or both.

Prices That Seem Too Good

If the price is dramatically lower than pharmacy pricing, it's almost certainly fake. Real medications have real manufacturing costs.

Social Media Sellers

People selling injectables through Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok are not legitimate suppliers. Block and report them.

"Compounded" or "Generic" Claims

There is no legitimate generic tirzepatide. "Compounded" versions from overseas sources are unregulated and potentially dangerous.

Unusual Packaging or Spelling Errors

Authentic medications have professional packaging. Misspellings, poor print quality, or unfamiliar packaging are warning signs.

No Physical Address or Contact Details

Legitimate pharmacies have verifiable addresses and contact information. Anonymous websites are red flags.

What Legitimate Access Looks Like

  1. You have a consultation with a registered NZ doctor
  2. The doctor assesses whether the medication is appropriate for you
  3. You receive a prescription
  4. You collect medication from a licensed NZ pharmacy

If You've Used an Unverified Product

If you've already purchased from a questionable source:

  • Stop using the product
  • Seek medical advice if you feel unwell
  • Be honest with your doctor about what you've taken
  • Report the seller to Medsafe if possible

Protecting Yourself

  • Only use prescriptions from registered NZ doctors
  • Only purchase from licensed NZ pharmacies
  • Be sceptical of online deals and social media sellers
  • If it seems too easy or too cheap, it's probably a scam
