Gemma Collins weight-loss drug advert banned

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 9 – Advertising Standards Authority banned nine ads including Gemma Collins' for promoting prescription-only weight-loss drugs illegally, following over 1,800 flagged ads in a broad crackdown.

  • The Advertising Standards Authority banned nine weight-loss drug adverts this week, including an Instagram post by Gemma Collins promoting the Yazen service.
  • The ASA took action following complaints that these adverts illegally promoted prescription-only injectable weight-loss medications to the public, breaching advertising and legal codes.
  • The banned ads featured named drugs such as Wegovy, Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Saxenda, and the ASA issued a joint Enforcement Notice with health regulators prohibiting such advertisements across all platforms.
  • Collins acknowledged her posts promoted Yazen's weight-loss app and medication, agreed to future ASA guidance, and amended content to remove references to prescription drugs after the complaint.
  • The rulings reinforce that prescription-only weight-loss drugs must not be advertised publicly, signaling stricter oversight while experts urge sustainable use under medical supervision.
