Mounjaro (tirzepatide), a weight-loss injection, is being introduced to the NHS for certain individuals, but prescribing is being phased in over the next several years and will be dependent on specific criteria. It's crucial to understand that it's not available for everyone and is not prescribed by GPs directly at this time.
We are yet to receive full local guidance on the prescribing of Mounjaro for weight-loss.
Mounjaro is therefore not currently available for prescribing in any setting in the management of obesity in Greater Manchester at this present time.
