Fear as weight-loss jab manufacturer to hike prices

Mounjaro could triple in price within weeks, the manufacturer has said.

Tens of thousands of Scots take the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, but there are fears the cost of buying it could double or even triple.

Manufacturer Eli Lilly says the increase will bring the price in the UK more in line with other countries.

It comes after President Trump raised concerns pharmaceutical products were too expensive in the United States.

Now people using the drug here are calling for it to be made more widely available on the NHS.
