Request for GP appointments for Mounjaro:

Please help us to help you.

💉Soon you might hear on the media that weight loss injections can be prescribed by your GP from June 2025.💉
‼️Whilst this is true the criteria to qualify will be very strict.‼️
Calculations say that there will be 220,000 patients UK wide that will qualify.
📊Statistically that means from approximately 10,000 patients registered only around 30 will qualify and some of those might already be on weight loss medication.📊
📆General practice resources are limited, therefore we would like very much to avoid booking unnecessary appointments for patients that do not qualify for Mounjaro injections, as this would block access to patients that are unwell and need to be seen by a doctor.

❗️The criteria to qualify is as follows:
•BMI of 40 or more (you need your weight and type to find out your BMI) it will be checked at the appointment to confirm is above 40 if it is not above 40 please do not book an appointment
If BMI is above 40 then you will also need to have been diagnosed with four of the following five criteria
1. Diagnosed hypertension
2.Diagnosed sleep apnoea
3.Diagnosed type 2 diabetes
4.Diagnosed cardiovascular disease
5.Diagnosed hypercholesterolemia

❗️If you do not have a BMI above 40 and four of the conditions above your GP will not be able to prescribe you Mounjaro for weight loss. (Based on the current guidance). Hence, we request that appointments are not booked for this purpose.❗️
