Important Update About Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) on the NHS

Posted on:

We know many patients are asking about Mounjaro after recent news reports, but it’s important to understand:

This medication is only available in very specific cases – most people will not qualify.

The NHS has strict rules:

✔ You must be 18+ with:

  • A BMI over 40 (or over 37.5 if you’re from a Black, Asian or minority ethnic background)
  • At least 4 serious weight-related health conditions (like diabetes, heart disease or severe sleep apnoea)

Please note:

  • This is not for general weight loss
  • Our team cannot prescribe it unless you meet all these requirements
  • Asking if you don’t qualify takes time away from patients who need urgent care

We’ve attached the official NHS notice with full details.
