Why is there a two-year limit?

The NHS treatment limit for Wegovy is two years. This isn't unique to Wegovy; many medications have set treatment durations or review periods to assess effectiveness and consider long-term implications. For Wegovy, the limit means patients like Jess Martin will reach the end of their NHS-funded course from January 2027.
