But after using fat jabs<\/a> for half a year, the content creator<\/a> was able to slim down<\/a> and lose 4 stone 8 lbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, the young woman has taken to social media<\/a> to show off her jaw-dropping weight loss<\/a>, but experts and NHS<\/a> medics warn about the dangers of taking such medications without a prescription.<\/p>\n

While Jasmine didn\u2019t suffer majorly with side effects, she did claim that Mounjaro<\/a> had a very unexpected impact on her menstrual cycle<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mounjaro<\/a>, regarded by some as the King Kong of weight loss jabs, could soon be rolled out on the NHS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sun GP<\/a> Dr Zoe Williams<\/a> claimed it can save the lives of people with \u201clife-threatening levels of obesity<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

But despite this, the NHS<\/a> warned: \u201cNever take an anti-obesity medicine if it has not been prescribed to you. These types of medicines may not be safe for you and can cause serious side effects.\u201d<\/p>\n

About half a million Brits use weight loss drugs<\/a> – and the number is expected to double in the next year.<\/p>\n

Mounjaro works by suppressing \u00adyour appetite<\/a>, making people feel fuller for longer.<\/p>\n

The injections are licensed for patients with type 2 diabetes<\/a> and to assist those who are clinically obese (with a Body Mass Index<\/a> of 30 or over).<\/p>\n

One jab is administered each week but the duration is dependent on someone\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n

Weight Loss Jabs – Pros vs Cons<\/p>\n

The drugs<\/a> can be lawfully supplied when prescribed by a practitioner – such as a doctor, nurse or a pharmacist-independent prescriber.<\/p>\n

But increasingly, people have been buying them through online pharmacies<\/a> with insufficient checks.<\/p>\n

Only recently, figures from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency revealed fat jabs had been linked to 82 deaths across the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And the family of a man from Burton upon Trent, Staffs, who died after taking Mounjaro, are now calling for a probe into the jab’s “potential to kill”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everything you need to know about fat jabs<\/p>\n

Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases.<\/p>\n

Wegovy \u2013 a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic \u2013 and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK.<\/p>\n

Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. <\/p>\n

Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year.<\/p>\n

How do they work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight.<\/p>\n

They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists.<\/p>\n

They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients’ sugar levels are too high.<\/p>\n

Can I get them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics.<\/p>\n

Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure.<\/p>\n

GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss.<\/p>\n

Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk.<\/p>\n

Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health.<\/p>\n

Are there any risks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes \u2013 side effects are common but most are relatively mild.<\/p>\n

Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea.<\/p>\n

Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at patient.info, said: \u201cOne of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia.<\/p>\n

Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients’ mental health.<\/p>\n

Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines.<\/p>\n

But after losing weight and slimming down, Jasmine uploaded a snap posing in a tight leopard print bodysuit<\/a> and a pair of black denim jeans, showing off her new physique<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thrilled with her impressive overhaul, Jasmine beamed: \u201cOnly regret of mine is not starting sooner! Changing my life!\u201d<\/p>\n

She stressed that she is now \u201cmuch happier\u201d, as she added: \u201cMentally and physically the best I\u2019ve ever felt!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

When it came to experiencing side effects<\/a>, Jasmine highlighted that the fat jabs suppressed her appetite and stopped the \u2018food noise\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She explained that she didn\u2019t follow a diet but did eat in a calorie deficit whilst using the weight loss injections.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What to do if you lose too much weight too quickly whilst on Mounjaro <\/p>\n

IF you’re losing too much weight too quickly while on Mounjaro, it\u2019s important to take action to avoid potential health risks like muscle loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Here\u2019s what you can do:<\/p>\n

Evaluate Your Caloric Intake<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mounjaro reduces appetite, which can make it easy to eat too little. If you’re losing weight too fast (more than two to three lbs per week after the initial adjustment period), try:<\/p>\n
