UPDATE:
Weight Loss Injections - Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) – What’s Happening Locally?

You might have heard that a new medication called tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) has been approved by the NHS to help with weight loss for some people living with obesity.

We know this may be frustrating if you were hoping to try it, and we really appreciate your patience. We’ll share any updates as soon as things change.

In the meantime, please don’t contact the GP practice for a prescription as we won’t be able to do it.

These medications work partly by slowing down how your stomach empties — which can affect how well other medicines (like the contraceptive pill or HRT tablets) are absorbed by your body.
