Oxfordshire GP praises Mounjaro weight loss jab as a 'game changer'

A GP has told the BBC that patients have already been inquiring about prescriptions for the weight loss drug Mounjaro, which is considered a 'game changer'. The drug recently became available at surgeries in England. Dr. Rachel Ward, a doctor in Didcot, Oxfordshire, mentioned that most people reaching out were not eligible for the injections based on NHS guidelines. The weekly injection works by inducing a feeling of fullness, leading to reduced food intake and potentially aiding in losing up to 20% of body weight. Rebecca Clapcott, from Christchurch in Dorset, has been receiving the injection privately and described it as almost magical.
