RE: 722215
Shuja Arshad:
This letter is to advise you that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your eBay store at https://www.ebay.com/str/formpour in December 2025. The FDA has observed that your eBay store offers “SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch” for sale in the United States. Based on our review, this product is an unapproved new drug under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 355(a). As explained further below, introducing or delivering this product for introduction into interstate commerce violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).
Based on a review of your eBay store, your “SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch” product is a drug as defined by section 201(g)(1) of the FD&C Act 21, U.S.C. 321(g)(1) because it is intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease and/or intended to affect the structure or function of the body.
Examples from your product labeling, including on your eBay store, that provide evidence of the intended use (as defined in 21 CFR 201.128) of this product as a drug include, but may not be limited to, the following:

- “The patch contains a blend of fat-burning ingredients (such as caffeine, green tea extract, or other thermogenic compounds) that work to help stimulate fat metabolism, reduce cellulite, and promote a smoother, slimmer appearance.”
- “For: Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Weight Loss Cardiovascular Protection”
- “Global User Survey Results 98.6% Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Weight Loss Aid 97.5% 98.1% Cardiovascular Protection” Your “SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch” product is a “new drug” under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p), because it is not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for use under the above-described conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling. With certain exceptions not applicable here, a new drug may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved application from FDA in effect, as described in section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a). No approved application pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, is in effect for this product. Accordingly, this product is an unapproved new drug. The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of this unapproved new drug product violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).
