Mounjaro

As you may have seen on the news, prescriptions for Mounjaro injections to help people lose weight, will be available at GP surgeries in England - but only for those who meet very strict criteria.
 
Tirzepatide (also called Mounjaro) is a weight loss medicine that makes you feel fuller for longer and therefore less hungry. It comes in the form of an injection which you inject yourself, once a week.
 
The first phased cohort eligible for Mounjaro on the NHS must meet the following:
• Have a BMI of 40 or over (or 37.5 if from a minority ethnic background)
AND
• Have a diagnosis of FOUR out of the five following conditions: type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol and obstructive sleep apnoea
 
If you do not meet both of the specified criteria, Cross Keys will not be able to prescribe Mounjaro for weight loss, as you do not qualify under NHS guidelines.
 
We have identified the small number of patients eligible for this NHS service, and will be in contact with them directly to discuss this further.
