Posted by: helencraggs - Posted on:

New guidelines have been introduced for Mounjaro injections, to help people lose weight and will be available at GP surgeries in England from today – but only for those patients who are eligible.

To qualify, patients need to meet the following criteria: a BMI of 40 or over (or 37.5 if from a minority ethnic background) plus 4 out of 5 of the following conditions:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart and vascular disease
  • High cholesterol
  • Obstructive sleep apnoea

Please do not book GP appointments to request this medication at this time. This website will be updated with future updates when we have them.
