Boots Launches First High Street Service for Weight Loss Jabs
- Boots has launched a trial in 17 stores across the UK, offering weight‑loss injections like Mounjaro and Wegovy previously sold online.
- Amid rising demand, Boots is expanding beyond its digital offer as more than 1.5 million people take weight-loss drugs; Boots said the in-store launch complements its Boots Online Doctor service.
- Customers will be offered an in‑person pharmacist consultation in a private room, with appointments bookable online or as walk‑ins at pilot stores.
- NHS prescribing rules limit Mounjaro to severely obese patients with other health problems, while Boots offers a private high-street service contrasting with people previously using online prescriptions.
- The drug will only be prescribed to people with BMI over 40 or 37.5 for minority ethnic background, with at least four health problems, and Boots says 360 support aids weight management.
