The race to win customers for the new Wegovy pill is heating up as Britons rush to get their hands on the first oral version of the blockbuster GLP-1 weight-loss drug. Some healthcare providers are offering the first month's treatment for as little as £60 as they battle for market share following the drug's long-awaited rollout in the UK.Pharmacy bosses say they are seeing 'unprecedented' demand for the tablets, which can help patients shed around 17 per cent of their body weight in 64 weeks.Adults with a body mass index of more than 30, which is classed as obese, are among those eligible for the medication. It can also be prescribed to people with a BMI between 27 and 30 if they have a weight-related health condition.Although the pill was approved by health regulators last month, it is not yet available on the NHS. It is currently only available through private providers - many of which began dispensing the drug on Monday following its official release in Britain.Demand has surged since launch, with thousands eager to secure a prescription as quickly as possible. ASDA pharmacy has already received more than 7,000 orders.Around 2.5million people already use weight-loss injections, but the arrival of a once-daily tablet - which removes the need for weekly injections - is generating huge interest.To capitalise on the demand, several providers have launched heavily discounted introductory offers.
