Britain could be one of the first countries in the world to have a fat-busting once-a-day pill in what is being billed as a 'game-changer' for weight loss.
Patrik Jonsson, the head of pharmaceutical behemoth Eli Lilly, said he expects orforgilpron to be available as early as next year, if approved by regulators.
The wonder drug could make it even easier for millions of Britons to shed the pounds who currently inject themselves every week with weight-loss jabs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro.
The tablet could be worth as much as $100 billion to the industry by 2030 with clinical trials announced last month showing orforgilpron lowered weight by an average of 12.4 per cent.
Mr Jonsson has even bigger things planned in the fight against obesity with his firm eyeing up a 'once-and-done treatment' which means people would never have to take fat jabs again.
