Major drug store chains in the United Kingdom plan to start selling the weight loss drug Wegovy, a different version of its hugely popular Ozempic brand. It will cost a fraction of what Americans pay.

Britain's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has issued draft guidance recommending Wegovy for people living with obesity, and its final guidance is expected on March 8. That guidance will serve as a formal instruction to Britain's National Health Service to start providing the drug to patients who need it, a NICE spokesperson told CBS News.

"I do think it would support people to be less of a burden on the NHS, in terms of the challenges of obesity and what that means for other health conditions," she said."It's not a quick fix and it's not the only answer, but actually it will help you if you're serious about wanting to lose weight." The spokesperson said even after the NICE guidelines in the U.K. are published next week, Wegovy will only be available to the NHS once the company has sufficient supplies to offer it to the market.
