Weight loss jabs - what else don't we know?

Sky News Daily

Thursday, 5 June 2025 - 11 minutes

The government's health agency, the MHRA, is warning women that they shouldn't use weight loss jabs while pregnant and that the drugs can also affect the reliability of the pill, which has led to a rise in so-called "Ozempic babies".   On today’s Sky News Daily Niall Paterson talks to Dr Nikita Kanani, a GP and former medical director for primary care at NHS England, about the risks, whether there are other concerns about using them and if there should be tighter restrictions on online sales of the jabs.  Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker
