Call You & Yours: If you're taking weight loss drugs, who's supplying them and how's it working out for you?

On today's Call You & Yours we want to know what your experience of taking weight loss drugs is?

We're asking: "If you're taking weight loss drugs, who's supplying them and how's it working out for you?"

Weight loss drugs are more in demand than ever, and they're transforming people's lives. People who've struggled to lose weight for years have finally found something that works, you can now get them from your GP and local pharmacist. Some people buy the drugs online, from online pharmacies and other companies. They can cost hundreds of pounds.

But some pharmacists are warning demand is outstripping supply, and not all the people using the new drugs are suitable, and warn about side effects or coming off them cold turkey. They want better protections for people who are buying them online and for there to be full two-way consultations online where people's medical records are reviewed.

If you're taking weight loss drugs, who's supplying them and how's it working out for you?

You can call 03700 100 444 at 11am when our phone lines open.

Or you can email youandyours@bbc.co.uk.
