Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) for managing weight

We understand the media is reporting that Mounjaro is now available under the NHS, however this is ONLY to a limited group of patients.

• You must be over 18, with a BMI of 40+, or 37.5+ if you’re from a Black, Asian or other minority ethnic background
• You must also have four or more weight-related health conditions, such as type II diabetes, hypertension and heart disease

We cannot offer any weight loss drug for cosmetic or general weight loss

Our Integrated Care Board (ICB) has advised all GP practices in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight that we are not currently able to provide this weight loss service on prescription. This service is expected to become available later this year—autumn at the earliest.

This applies to all Stoneham Lane Surgery patients
