Some High Street chains are prescribing and selling it too, although stocks are limited.

In The Future , Mounjaro might be added to The List of possible NHS treatments too.
The UK's drugs regulator says it can be used by adults who are obese or those who are overweight and have weight-related health problems such as high blood pressure.
Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said: " Although further approvals are needed to use this in The NHS, Mounjaro has The potential to help thousands of people living with obesity and support those suffering from weight-related illnesses - if used alongside diet and Physical Activity . Tackling obesity could help cut waiting lists and save The NHS billions of pounds. "
