India bans indirect promotion of obesity drugs to prevent misleading claims and protect public health.
India’s drug regulator, CDSCO, has issued a strict advisory banning pharmaceutical companies from indirectly promoting prescription obesity drugs like GLP-1 receptor agonists through disease awareness campaigns, social media, or influencer marketing.
The move, effective March 11, 2026, prohibits all public-facing promotional activities that exaggerate weight-loss results, promise guaranteed outcomes, or downplay the need for diet and exercise.
Companies must ensure these drugs are only prescribed by registered doctors according to approved uses and maintain accurate prescribing info, grievance mechanisms, and risk management plans.
The directive aims to prevent misleading marketing and protect public health amid rising demand for weight-loss medications.
