Mounjaro prescribing in General Practice

New eligibility criteria has now been introduced,

    • People with a body mass index (BMI) of over 50;
    • People with a BMI of more than 35 and type 2 diabetes (for less than 10 years);
    • Patients with precancerous or cancerous conditions in which weight management would improve outcomes or aid access to therapies.
    • Patients requiring urgent weight loss for organ transplant.
    • Patients with Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) requiring frequent lumber punctures and/or visual compromise.
    • Patients undergoing planned time sensitive surgery (including bariatric surgery) for life-limiting conditions, where high BMI is the primary barrier to surgery and weigh loss would be beneficial.
    • Where weight loss is required for assisted conception in women under the care of a fertility service, in cases where weight loss would be beneficial.
    • Patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and/or severe asthma.
    • Patients with proven genetic cause of obesity and not eligible for setmelanotide.

These criteria prioritise patients with the most urgent and complex health needs - including those requiring weight loss to access life-saving treatments such as surgery, cancer care, or organ transplants.
