We understand there has been significant media attention surrounding the availability of Tirzepatide, known by its brand name Mounjaro®, as a weight loss medication through the NHS.
It is important for our patients to be aware that while this medication is now available via the NHS, there are very strict eligibility criteria that must be met.
Please do not contact your GP practice to discuss medication for weight loss or to make an appointment for this purpose.
If you are deemed eligible for this medication based on the strict criteria, your GP will contact you directly.
For more information about Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) and the eligibility criteria, please visit ‘NHS Greater Manchester weight management’.
If you are looking to manage your weight without medication, you can seek advice from your GP or nurse. You can also find more information at ‘NHS Better Health’.
Thank you for your understanding.
