Weight Loss injection information 

NHS England has announced that GPs will now be able to prescribe Mounjaro injections. Originally licensed for type 2 diabetes treatment, the medication's use as a weight loss aid stems from its appetite-suppressing properties.

The health service aims to make these injections widely available, but this is a long-term objective.A a very limited group of people will be able to get prescriptions for it through their GP.

Currently, two criteria must be met to qualify for the prescription. Firstly, a BMI of 40 or over is required, however, if you're from a minority ethnic background, you may be eligible with a BMI of 37.5 or over.

Additionally, you'll need to have been diagnosed with four out of the following five conditions:

• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Heart and vascular disease
• High cholesterol
• Obstructive sleep apnoea
