UK ASA bans ads for prescription weight-loss injections, including one by Gemma Collins.

The UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has banned several ads for prescription-only weight-loss medications, including one by reality TV star Gemma Collins. The ASA ruled that all injectable weight-loss medications require a prescription and cannot be advertised to the public. The decision came after nine rulings against ads from various providers. The ASA has published a joint notice with regulatory agencies, clarifying that ads for these medications are prohibited online, on social media, and by influencers.
