UK High Street chemists are set to sell customers a controversial weight loss jab used by some famous people, including Twitter owner Elon Musk.
Wegovy, or semaglutide, is a prescription drug that blunts appetite.
It has the same ingredient as Ozempic - a diabetes medicine said to be Hollywood's "skinny shot" of choice.
Experts warn it is not a quick fix or a replacement for eating well and exercising, and should only be offered under medical supervision.
Boots says it will be able to offer the full service - prescribing and dispensing the drug.
Superdrug and Lloyds Pharmacy have online pages where people can register their interest in Wegovy.
