Â鶹Éç Radio Shropshire's in-depth look at weight loss jabs. More people than ever are using them, with some GPs describing them as a "gamechanger" in tackling obesity and type 2 diabetes. But Donnington pharmacy superintendent Nigel Dugmore said the online weight loss jab industry is a "ticking time bomb" due to the ease with which they are able to be purchased online.

He believed the jabs came with "serious consequences" that had not fully been investigated and wants to see tougher regulations. Â鶹Éç Radio Shropshire's Kate Baldock reports.
