Weight-loss jabs investigated for suicide risk

Weight-loss jabs investigated for suicide risk Europe's drugs regulator has told BBC News it is conducting a review of some weight-loss jabs after being alerted to a possible link to thoughts of suicide and self-harm among users.

Member state Iceland notified the European Medicines Agency after seeing three cases.

The safety assessment will look at Wegovy, Saxenda and similar drugs, such as Ozempic, that help curb appetite.

Product leaflets already list suicidal thoughts as a possible side effect. BBC News
