The number of Britons who have died after using weight-loss and diabetes drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro has risen to 82, according to official figures.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) confirmed the toll up to the end of January, raising fresh concerns over the safety of the jabs.
The data shows that 22 people died after using the medication for weight loss, while another 60 fatalities were linked to its use in treating type 2 diabetes. Alison Cave, chief safety officer at the MHRA, urged caution: “The decision to start, continue or stop treatments should be made jointly by patients and their doctor, based on full consideration of benefits and risks.”
