💨 Abstract

Prescriptions for weight loss drugs in England doubled in a year, reaching nearly 3 million. Drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy are in high demand, with the NHS spending £269 million on them in 2024-25. A Sun survey found 73% of readers are considering these drugs to lose weight. Most prescriptions are for people with type 2 diabetes, but the drugs are also used for weight loss alone.
