Mounjaro Prescribing for Weight Loss in General Practice
Information for Patients
You may have heard in the news that GPs are now able to prescribe Mounjaro (tirzepatide) for weight loss.
Unfortunately, there is strict eligibility criteria when prescribing this. If you are eligible, we will be in contact.
Please do not contact us about Mounjaro for weight loss by phone or our online system as it will delay our response to other patients contacting us about urgent medical issues.
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) and contraception/pregnancy
Please read the following information carefully if you are using both Mounjaro and a Contraceptive.
If you feel this applies to you or would like to discuss further, please contact the surgery.
GLP-1 agonists and contraception patient information
GLP-1 agonists (e.g. Mounjaro) and HRT
If you are taking oral progestogen as part of your HRT, then you need to be aware that tirzepatide may have an impact on the effectiveness of your HRT. This means your HRT might not protect you endometrium (womb lining) enough. Please contact te surgery to book a HRT review, as we may need to increase your dose or change you to a different form of medication.
If you do not take your HRT orally (use a patch, a gel or a Mirena coil) then you do not need to worry.
