Adults who are overweight or obese may soon be given a weekly injection to help them lose weight.

Semaglutide, marketed as Wegovy, makes people feel fuller, causing them to eat less and feel less hungry.

It helped obese persons shed a tenth of their body weight – roughly two stone (13kg) on average – in trials when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

It is also being recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to be made available on the NHS.
