While NICE guidance states that these medications are available from early June and there have been several reports on prescribing mounjaro in the press, Gloucestershire – like many other areas – has not met 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/
