Starting a weight loss journey can feel like a monumental task, especially with the ever-evolving landscape of medical treatments. For many across the India, understanding available options is a crucial first step.

Dr Amit Srivastava, an experienced medical practitioner serving patients nationally in the UK, offers a clear overview of the latest weight loss injection treatments, including Mounjaro, and explains how they work, who qualifies, and how to access them.
