Patients with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30 – classed as obese – or with a BMI of more than 27 and a weight-related health condition, will be able to access it. Current GLP-1 drugs on the market are taken as injections and can be expensive.
Furthermore, The UK has become the first country in Europe to approve a new once-a-day pill to aid weight loss and treat diabetes. And its arrival marks yet another breakthrough for the drugs, known as GLP-1s, which are now believed to be taken by around 2.5million adults in the UK. Like the Wegovy pill the drug is not yet available on the NHS , and instead will only be offered privately.
