Watchdog bans first ads for oral weight loss drugs

The UK medicines watchdog has banned advertising for oral weight loss medicines, in what is reported as the first such prohibition covering pills of this kind. The move comes as demand for obesity treatments like Wegovy surges, and regulators move to rein in promotion of slimming products directly to consumers.
Why now: Weight loss drugs are a major public health debate, and a regulator banning their advertising is newsworthy
