The NHS may face financial ruin if all eligible patients are prescribed weight loss medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro. With approximately 3.4 million Brits meeting the prescription criteria, the cost of these treatments could spiral out of control, posing a significant threat to the health service's budget. As the demand for obesity treatments and weight loss solutions continues to rise, the NHS must consider the financial implications of these costly medications and explore alternative weight management options. Popular weight loss methods, such as diet and exercise, may be a more sustainable solution.
