The booming market for weight-loss injections like Wegovy and Mounjaro triggers price wars among online pharmacies, with established chains exploiting soaring consumer demand.
The Advertising Standards Authority is set to investigate advertising practices for weight-loss injections, as many online pharmacies violate regulations by referencing prescription-only medications (POMs).
Despite explicit laws against marketing prescription-only medications directly to consumers, loopholes are exploited by supermarkets to promote weight-loss services, which include these jabs.
Regulatory watchdogs have noted that complaints against online ads for weight-loss drugs have been upheld every month since April 2023, highlighting significant advertising breaches.
