Many using weight loss injections are complaining of a “shrinking finger” side effect' which becomes a problem once they have shed extra pounds.
The injections have been shown to help those taking the medicine to lose significant amounts of weight and will now be available on the NHS. They make you less hungry and therefore you tend to eat less food.
The jab is called Semaglutide and is sold under the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus. It has traditionally been used as an antidiabetic medication but is now being used for weight loss as well.
