Weight-loss jabs could become available to patients at pharmacy level, according to reports.

Reports claim that after completing a short over-the-counter consultation, drugs such as Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy will become available on prescription for £9.90. As it stands, the charge for patients who buy the drugs from private providers is around £150.
