The hack that could save you as much as £3,700 on weight-loss jabs

Weight-loss jabs such as Mounjaro and Wegovy have been hailed as a miracle drug by users and are booming in popularity. But the injections will have you shedding the pounds in more ways than one.

While you’re watching the numbers fall on the scales, you may not notice those in your bank account plummeting too.

Mounjaro and Wegovy are available on the NHS but you generally need to have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or more to get full funding.

Those with a BMI of 30 or more can also get the prescription-only drugs – but they must buy it through a private practice or pharmacy.

This comes with a high price tag: the average 18-month treatment plan costs £5,360 for Mounjaro and £3,555 for Wegovy.
