Pharmacists Face Challenges with AI-Manipulated Images in Online GLP-1 Consultations
Online pharmacies specializing in GLP-1 medications, such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, are encountering challenges with patients using AI tools to manipulate images submitted during consultations. These alterations often exaggerate body contours to meet eligibility criteria for weight loss treatments. Pharmacists are tasked with identifying these subtle manipulations, which can include inconsistencies in background lines, shadows, and skin texture. The rise in AI-manipulated images highlights the need for careful screening to ensure patient safety and appropriate use of medications.
