    Popular weight loss and diabetes drug Wegovy , is days away for New Zealand

    Popular weight loss and diabetes drug Wegovy , is days away for New Zealand


    A pharmacist has told our newsroom it will be available by prescription next week.

    The drug suppresses appetite and has been embraced by celebrities.

    It's approved by MedSafe but not funded by Pharmac, so users will have to pay.

    The drug is injected weekly and the formulation also has uses for diabetes.
