Online pharmacies are prohibited from advertising weight loss injections as part of regulations enforced by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The ASA's new rulings state that while pharmacies may reference weight loss injections on their websites, specific promotional phrases and images related to these injections are banned. The restrictions aim to prevent misuse of prescription-only medications and reduce the risk of commercial pressure on consumers. The ASA's regulations emphasize the importance of safe prescribing and protecting vulnerable individuals from potential harm associated with powerful medications.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has ruled that online pharmacies can no longer advertise weight loss injections, banning phrases like 'weight loss injections' and 'weight loss pen'.
Experts believe that prohibiting the advertising of prescription-only medications protects the public by reducing undue commercial pressure, ensuring safe prescribing practices, and preventing over-medicalisation of everyday issues.
