Mounjaro Eligibility
Posted on:
We have seen an increase in queries regarding Mounjaro eligibility. We would urge patients to read the below points and to watch the video from Dr Sophie for more information.
- Mounjaro is being introduced in a small number of GP practices as part of wider support for people living with obesity
- It is only available to a limited number of patients in the first year, based on strict NHS criteria
- Eligibility includes a BMI of 40 or more and at least four serious weight-related health conditions
- Patients must also take part in a structured support programme (wraparound care) including healthy eating and physical activity
- There is no need to contact your GP practice – eligible patients will be contacted directly by their practice or the NHS
