Experts warning over weight loss jabs as half of users have no prescription'
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Experts are cautioning people not to purchase weight loss jabs without a prescription after a new survey revealed that nearly half of the people obtaining the medication were sidestepping medical expertise. Pharmacists told The Independent that without proper consultation with medical professionals that users are putting themselves in danger and risking their lives. A survey of 2,000 people across the UK, conducted by Atomik Research, found that 41 per cent of people who were on weight loss jabs had sourced them online without a prescription,"
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, producing investigations and documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet operates without paywalls and relies on donations to fund journalists who report on both sides of issues across the political spectrum. Experts caution against purchasing weight loss jabs without a prescription because many purchasers are bypassing medical expertise. Pharmacists warn that obtaining injections without proper medical consultation can endanger users and may involve illegal or unapproved medications. A survey of 2,000 UK adults by Atomik Research found 41 per cent sourced jabs online without a prescription and 35 per cent obtained them from family or friends. Clinical pharmacist Kiran Jones states that unprescribed jabs dispensed outside qualified pharmacies can put health and life at risk.
