Clarification on NHS Access to Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)
We are aware that recent media coverage has reported the availability of Mounjaro through the NHS.
However, it is essential to understand that access is strictly limited and not available for general or cosmetic weight loss purposes.
You May Be Eligible ONLY If You Meet All of the Following Criteria:
- Aged 18 years or older
- Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40+, or 37.5 if you are from a Black, Asian or other minority ethnic background
- Diagnosed with four or more weight-related health conditions, such as:
- Type II Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
- Heart Disease
- Sleep Apnoea
- Dyslipidaemia (High Cholesterol)
If You Do Not Meet the Criteria
Unfortunately, under current NHS guidelines, your GP will not be able to prescribe Mounjaro for weight loss if you do not meet all of the above eligibility requirements.
We kindly ask that you do not request an appointment to discuss Mounjaro unless you meet the full criteria.
