While NICE guidance states that these medications should be available from early June, Gloucestershire – like many other areas – will not meet this timeline.
The medication is not currently available for weight loss via prescription from GP practices, so we kindly request that you do not contact your surgery to ask for it.
We will keep our patients updated as the local pathway develops and when we receive further instruction.
In the meantime, further details regarding this matter are available using: https://www.nhsglos.nhs.uk/your-health-services/healthy-communities/weight-loss-medication/
