Our GLP-1 Patches are made with natural botanicals that the body metabolises gently. They're safe for most adults — here's who should take extra care.
Pause during pregnancy or nursing
We recommend avoiding the patches if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Some of our botanicals (berberine especially) aren't studied enough in pregnancy to say they're safe. When in doubt, pause — you can always restart later.
If you have a medical condition
Anyone with:
- Diabetes or blood sugar conditions
- Thyroid disease
- Heart conditions
- Low blood pressure
…should check with a healthcare provider before starting. The patches support your body's natural regulation, but if you're actively medicated for any of these, your provider can help you layer safely.
If you're on prescription GLP-1 drugs
If you're taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or similar, talk to your prescriber before using our patches. Our patches are designed as a standalone natural approach — stacking them with prescription GLP-1 drugs isn't something we recommend without medical guidance.
Other medications
Natural botanicals can interact with some prescriptions (blood thinners, diabetes meds, blood pressure meds). Run it by your doctor if you're on regular medication.
Skin sensitivity
Mild redness or itch at the application site is common for the first few days as your skin adjusts. If you notice persistent irritation, try:
- A different application site
- Wearing the patch for fewer hours
- Pausing a day between applications
Severe redness, blistering, or burning means stop — you may be sensitive to the adhesive. Email hello@vira-health.com and we'll help.
Age
Adults 18 and over. Not designed for children or teens.
Not medical advice
We're a wellness brand, not a medical provider. If you have a specific health concern, your doctor knows your case best — ask them.
