Mounjaro – NHS Devon current position (30th June 2025)

Tirzepatide, commonly known as Mounjaro, is a drug that up to now has only been prescribed for people with type 2 diabetes. Recently published NHS guidance is now recommending this is also considered as an option for managing overweight and obesity, alongside a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Provision of Mounjaro for weight management is yet to be implemented across Devon.

NHS Devon is therefore advising GPs to not prescribe Mounjaro for weight management at this time.

Patients with queries may wish to read patient-facing information pages on the MyHealth website Weight Management - My Condition - MyHealth Devon

  • a quieter room for you to wait in
  • to be seen with your carer;
