Important Information About Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Availability on the NHS

Posted by: marlenapysk - Posted on:

You may have seen recent news reports about Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) becoming available on the NHS. We understand that this has generated a lot of interest, and we wanted to clarify the current situation for our patients.

Mounjaro will only be available to a small number of eligible patients who meet strict NHS criteria, specifically:

✅ A Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 40
✅ At least 4 other significant health conditions linked to obesity

This treatment is not something we can prescribe directly at the practice. Eligible patients will be identified and contacted as part of a specialist NHS programme.

If you meet the criteria, you will be contacted — there is no need to request this medication through the surgery at this time.

We will provide updates if the situation changes or if we receive further information from the NHS.

Thank you for your understanding.
