Jitendra Singh urges caution against popular weight loss drugs

New Delhi, Dec 8 (UNI) union Minister Jitendra Singh on Monday cautioned against the widespread and "fashionable" use of Glucagon-Like Peptide (GLP)-based rapid weight-loss drugs, urging judicious use and warning that their long-term effects often become apparent only over time.
He was speaking at a panel discussion titled 'Clinician-Scientist Interaction on Obesity' during the India International Science Festival (IISF) in Panchkula.
Drawing parallels with past public health misjudgements, Singh cited the unregulated shift to refined cooking oils in the 1970s and 1980s, which later revealed adverse health consequences. "True clinical inference may come from observing outcomes over decades," he said.
