Mounjaro (tirzepatide) – Who Can Get It on the NHS?
We've had many questions about Mounjaro, the new weight loss injection.
Here's what you need to know:
💉 Mounjaro is currently only available on the NHS for a small group of patients, under strict criteria:
✅ You must:
- Be 18 or over
- AND Have a current BMI of 40+, or 37.5+ if you’re from a Black, Asian or other minority ethnic background
- AND Have 4 or more weight-related health conditions (e.g. type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnoea, heart disease)
🏥 It's ONLY being prescribed for people who meet the above criteria.
⚠️ It is not available for general weight loss or cosmetic reasons, even if you're willing to pay privately.
