Although you may have heard on the news or social media that GP`s are able to prescribe Tirzepeptide (Mounjaro) to patients without diabetes the situation in Rotherham and across South Yorkshire is that we are not currently allowed to.

The first cohort of patients who are eligible for Tirzepeptide on the NHS are those with a BMI of >40 AND 4 weight related illnesses ( these are  1. heart disease or vascular disease, 2.high Blood pressure, 3.sleep apnoea, 4. Type 2 Diabetes , 5.raised cholesterol or other lipids ), alongside weight loss injections patients will have to engage with regular wraparound care which includes advice on diet and exercise .

If you believe you match these criteria please contact us with an up to date height and weight and we will arrange for you to be on the waiting list for Rotherham Specialist Weight Management Service who are currently the only service who can prescribe these weight loss injections.

As GP's we really want to try and improve weight support for our  patients including  medication where appropriate as we know it is important to health and well being.

 If you're looking for help with losing weight through diet and exercise, you might want to contact Healthwave on 01709 719720. They offer support with healthy lifestyle changes, though they don’t provide tirzepatide or any other weight loss injections.
