Semaglutide, marked as Wegovy, will be available in pharmacies across the UK from the spring to those who have a BMI of at least 35 and one weight-related condition.
Medications that are used to combat type 2 diabetes are trending on social media for quick weight loss - but some people are now reporting unwanted side effects like facial aging and vomiting.
The wonder drug, branded as Ozempic or Wegovy and available in the UK and US, suppresses hunger by mimicking appetite-regulating hormone and leaves users feeling fuller for longer.
DailyMail.com found nearly a dozen websites selling semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic, for between $80 and $300 for up to two months worth.
