Wegovy makes UK weight-loss debut even as Novo struggles with supplies
LONDON - Some Britons are set to be able to get Wegovy weight-loss injections after Novo Nordisk launched the drug in the UK on Monday, moving into its second major European market in just over a month despite struggling to meet soaring demand.
However, Novo's inability to keep up with U.S. demand for Wegovy has effectively delayed the launch in most of Europe. Reuters reported last week that Wegovy supplies were limited in Germany less than a month after its launch in Europe's largest drug market, highlighting the challenge in Europe. But in an early indication of prices, leading online health and beauty retailers Boots and Superdrug said they would charge private patients from 195 pounds for a monthly supply of Wegovy.All of the prices includes online consultation with a clinician, prescription and dispensing costs.In March, NICE recommended the use of Wegovy in adults with at least one weight-related condition and a body mass index of 35, but only within the National Health Service's specialist weight management scheme.
Benenden Health, which health insurance to more than 850,000 people in Britain, told Reuters it will not cover Wegovy. Around 50,000 eligible patients in England could be prescribed Wegovy through NHS specialist weight management services, an NHS spokesperson said in a statement.
