The UK's Advertising Standards Authority has banned online pharmacies from advertising prescription-only weight loss injections to tackle the inappropriate practices surrounding their promotion. New rulings prohibit the use of specific phrases like 'weight loss injections' and imagery of injection pens. Pharmacies may reference these medicines but cannot showcase them prominently on external webpages. The measures, following AI monitoring of online ads, aim to protect vulnerable individuals from the risks associated with powerful prescription-only medicines and address widespread breaches of advertising regulations by online pharmacies.
