Important Update on Mounjaro Injections
You may have seen on the news Mounjaro is now available via GP surgeries, but it’s only for patients who meet strict NHS criteria. Mid Essex GP Practices are not currently commissioned to prescribe Mounjaro and we are awaiting further guidance from our local NHS ICB.
If you have a BMI of 40+ (or 37.5+ if from a minority ethnic background) and have 4 of the following 5 conditions recorded in your medical notes:
• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Heart/vascular disease
• High cholesterol
• Obstructive sleep apnoea
Please book a telephone consultation with our social prescriber – not a GP or nurse – to discuss further.
