Continue reading...People using the jab reported positive results, but many say the increased cost will be prohibitively expensive, and they expect to put the weight back on when they stop
People using the weight loss jab Mounjaro have reacted with dismay to the news its manufacturer, Eli Lilly, plans a price increase in the UK from September. Many people are worried they will be unable to continue using the medication, raising concerns for their mental and physical health.
