The NHS has approved a weight loss jab after it gained popularity in the US - but experts have warned that it could be a “gateway to eating disorders”.
Prescription drug Wegovy, also known as Semaglutide, has been labelled safe, effective and affordable by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
Patients on the NHS in England will inject themselves weekly using a pen and the drug works by making people feel fuller and more satisfied, so they eat less.
