If you’ve been looking at medication options for weight loss, you’ve likely come across Mounjaro. These medications have been making headlines for their effectiveness in helping people lose weight and keep it off. But how do you know if they’re right for you? Here’s who can take Mounjaro, how to access the medication, and the added benefits of combining medication with weight loss support from Slendr.
Who Can Take Mounjaro?
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a unique medication that combines two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP. Together, these work to regulate blood sugar levels, reduce hunger, and improve metabolism. It’s particularly helpful for people with type 2 diabetes, but it’s also been shown to aid weight loss in people without diabetes.
You might be eligible for Mounjaro if:
- You have type 2 diabetes and struggle to manage your weight.
- You meet the BMI criteria for obesity (a BMI of 30 or more) or have a BMI of 27+ with a weight-related condition.
Like other forms of weight loss medication, Mounjaro works best alongside healthy eating habits and regular exercise. If you’re unsure whether Mounjaro is right for you, contact our team online for advice. We’re happy to answer any questions you have about weight loss medication, including how it works, what to expect and how to take it.
Accessing Weight Loss Medication on the NHS
The NHS offers limited access to weight loss medications like Mounjaro for people who meet strict criteria. To qualify, you’ll need to have a BMI of 35 or more (considered severely obese), or a BMI of 30+ with specific weight-related conditions plus a history of failed weight loss attempts through non-medical methods.
Even if you meet these requirements, availability can vary depending on where you live. Some areas may prioritise other treatments or have long waiting lists. If you don’t want to be stuck on a waiting list, you can always get the help you need with Slendr.
Weight Loss Medications Available Privately
If you don’t meet NHS criteria or prefer to avoid long waiting times, you can access weight loss medications like Mounjaro privately through Slendr. This option offers greater flexibility and convenience, allowing you to start treatment quickly.
