Mounjaro for weight loss

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

If you meet these criteria, the West Yorkshire ICB intends to contact patients in due course.

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.
