The 'game changer’ weight loss injection, Wegovy, is reportedly set to be made available through the NHS in England for certain people living with obesity.
A ‘game changer’ weight loss injection said to be popular among celebrities is set to be made available through the NHS in England for certain people living with obesity.
In some cases, people with a BMI of 30 and over may be able to access the drug, which is taken via a pen injector. Associate clinical professor at the University of Warwick, Dr Stephen Lawrence, said: ‘When used in accordance with the prescribed guidelines, it promotes weight loss in a safe and effective way for most people.
‘It should therefore only be offered following assessment of the person taking the medication and as part of a programme to establish a healthy lifestyle.’The weight loss treatment has been rumoured to be popular with celebrities, including Elon Musk who credited it for being in good shape last October.
