Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) – Important Information regarding the availability of weight-loss injections on the NHS.
There has been a lot of publicity around Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) in the media recently and we have had a number of queries as a result.
At present, this treatment is not available for prescribing by your GP.
Despite the recent update to national guidance, the eligibility criteria for an NHS prescription remains extremely limited and very specific.  Even for this group we await an announcement from Birmingham & Sollihull ICB as to who will provide the service

We are following strict NHS guidance and will not be able to prescribe them to you at this time. ‘
As such, we kindly ask patients not to contact the practice regarding Mounjaro/Tirzepatide treatment.
If you are seeking a private prescription for Mounjaro/Tirzepatide, please approach private providers directly. We are not contracted or resourced to support this, and unfortunately, we are unable to advise on who, where or how this treatment may be accessed privately, including any associated monitoring requirements.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
