I have in the past asked my GP for a prescription for weight loss drugs. Was refused on the grounds that I am not obese. Go figure - what should I do? Get stuck into the cream cakes?
I was thinking on the weight loss drug injected into the thigh. What are the popular weight loss drugs?
I want to ask again, in light of the Governments statements yesterday on widening access to weight loss drugs.
 
Are you thinking about the Ozempic/Wegovy type? If so, they do appear to have weight loss impact, but there can be problems. One of which is the cost to the UK taxpayer - these are now the most profitable drugs in the world.

It seems to be well-known that these semaglutides are also causing a lot of muscle loss, which can be a real problem - google "Ozempic face" for instances of facial muscles wasting.

I think your options are either to go back to your GP or obtain them privately. No idea of how much you'd pay, or of the quality.
