It was announced on Monday 23rd June that GP Practices will be able to prescribe Mounjaro to patients through the NHS based on the following criteria;

  • Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or more (adjusted for ethnicity), and
  • Have four or more of the following health conditions:
  1. High Blood Pressure
  2. High cholesterol or abnormal blood fats
  3. Sleep Apnoea
  4. Heart Disease
  5. Type 2 Diabetes

*Please note that Mounjaro is not current available through GP Practices in Norfolk and Waveney, therefore we are do not have the ability to prescribe this medication for patients for weight loss purposes.*

The Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board have decided to commission a community based service to support the prescribing of Mounjaro for eligible patients.  Further information on this service will be issued shortly.
