The list price for the most popular and effective weight loss injection (Mounjaro) in the UK has risen by almost three times, from £122 to £330 a month for the highest dose, as of September 1.
This is a huge increase, which for many people will take the drug from affordable to not affordable in one fell swoop. It will impact an estimated 1.5 million people currently paying out of their own pocket for this drug in the UK - and we will likely see thousands of people coming off it as a result.
