Mounjaro is one of the most effective weight loss medications out there, with patients losing over 22% of their body weight in clinical trials.
Mounjaro became available in February 2024 and is not available over the counter. But can you get it on the NHS? That’s what we’ll be exploring today. Read on to learn more about Mounjaro, its approval status, and its availability in the UK.
Mounjaro is a medication that was designed to treat type 2 diabetes – but can also be used for weight loss.
You take Mounjaro via a once-weekly injection, injecting it into your upper arm, thigh or abdomen. It contains the active ingredient tirzepatide – GIP and GLP-2 dual agonist. These hormones increase the production of insulin and keep sugar levels under control.
Mounjaro works by replicating these naturally occurring hormones, therefore helping you feel fuller for longer. GIP can also reduce fat accumulation, further promoting weight loss. When on Mounjaro, it becomes much easier to maintain a healthy calorie deficit and lose weight.
Don’t just take our word for it – here’s what some clinical trials say about the effectiveness of Mounjaro:
At Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic, our patients often lose up to 20% of their body weight in the first year.
Yes, Mounjaro is approved in the UK for both treatment of type 2 diabetes and weight management. Although originally approved for diabetes treatment, it was approved for weight loss near the end of 2023 by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
There are two main routes you can go down to get your hands on Mounjaro:

In short, yes – you can get Mounjaro on the NHS. However, there are several considerations…
If you have type 2 diabetes, you should be eligible for Mounjaro. However, if you plan to use Mounjaro for weight management, there are more eligibility criteria to consider:
Getting prescribed Mounjaro through the NHS is not as easy as you might think. Rollout for Mounjaro on the NHS will begin in March 2025 and will be phased over the span of several years.
This means that only a small number of patients will be able to get Mounjaro on the NHS to begin with. 250,000 patients with the highest clinical need will be offered the medication in these first three years – with patients with a BMI of 40+ and several weight-related health conditions being prioritised.
So, if you have a BMI lower than 40 and don’t have several weight-related health problems, you may be waiting 12 years to get your hands on Mounjaro through the NHS.
Going private is currently the most accessible option if you want to try Mounjaro for weight loss purposes.
First of all, when you go private, you won’t be waiting for years; you can get your medication within just a few days. Private clinics are much more convenient and faster.
At Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic, we offer online consultations too. We’ll discuss your medical history, weight loss goals and personal circumstances and determine whether Mounjaro is the right fit for you.
If you get Mounjaro through the NHS, you will need to pay the £9.90 prescription fee, which is the base cost. However, if you go private, Mounjaro can cost between £150 and £200 per month.
At Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic, you can get Mounjaro from just £129 per month, with free delivery. You can cancel at any time if you decide that it’s not the right choice for you – and we will be here to support you throughout the process.
