It has been announced that GPs are now able to prescribe this remarkable medication. However, NHS England has limited this in 2025/26 to patients who meet strict eligibility criteria. These include:
- A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or above, and
- At least four qualifying health conditions, such as:
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Abnormal cholesterol levels (dyslipidaemia)
- Obstructive sleep apnoea
- Cardiovascular disease
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus
It is prudent to point out, that without active follow up and lifestyle change, Mounjaro is likely to offer only a temporary fix and can have significant side affects. If you would like to discuss your weight management options, please book a routine appointment.
We continue to refer qualifying patients to the Specialist Weight Management Service for accompanying wrap around support consisting of psychological, nutritional and exercise advice.
