A blockbuster weight-loss pill has been approved for use in the UK, paving the way for millions of Britons to access the game-changing treatment. As exclusively revealed by the Daily Mail last week, the Wegovy Pill - the tablet form of the once-weekly Wegovy injection - has been greenlit by health officials.The decision, made by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), means the pill is officially a licensed medicine in the UK and can be prescribed through private healthcare providers within weeks.Morrisons, Boots, and Superdrug will be among the well-known high street names to sell the pills, which can help obese patients lose up to 17 per cent of their body weight in one year. It does not, however, mean that the pill is available immediately on the NHS. That process could still take months because the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) - which decides whether medicines should be funded by the health service - claims Wegovy manufacturer Novo Nordisk has not yet made a submission to them.It is understood that Novo Nordisk plans to meet with the UK Government to discuss rolling out the Wegovy Pill on the NHS - with the price of the drug thought to be the sticking point. Private clinics will be able to set the price of the pill themselves. In the US, it has generally been sold for around £40 less a month than the injection.
