Increase regulation of online sale of weight-loss jabs, pharmacists say
Briefly

The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) is urging for stricter regulations on the online sale of weight-loss injections, predicting increased demand in the new year. They stress the importance of patient consultations before dispensing high-risk medications like weight-loss jabs to prevent inappropriate access and ensure safety. Nick Kaye, NPA chair, highlighted obesity as a significant societal issue, with these medications needing careful management in treatment programs. Current guidelines are seen as inadequate, still allowing potential risks to patients without thorough medical history reviews or two-way consultations.
