Weight management injections – Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®)
Posted on June 23rd, 2025
You might have seen online or on the news that GPs can now give out a medicine called Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) on the NHS to help people lose weight. While this is true in some parts of the country, it’s not yet available in South Yorkshire.
This delay is due to ongoing planning by decision makers to outline how the service will function locally. This includes making sure additional support for physical activity, diet and nutrition is ready too.
We know this might be disappointing, but we ask for your patience while everything is being sorted out. It’s also important to know that not everyone who wants Tirzepatide will be eligible.
The NHS has very strict criteria for prescribing it, and some individuals might not qualify even if the medication is approved.
In the meantime, we’re here to help. Please keep talking to us about the other ways we can support your weight loss journey and we’ll let you know as soon as there are any updates.
Thank you for understanding.
