Weight loss injections
We are getting a lot of requests to prescribe Semaglutide (Wegovy), Liraglutide (Saxenda) or Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) for weight loss purposes. While NICE have approved the use of Wegovy on the NHS recently, this is not available to us in general practice to prescribe. It is important that the medication is only used by specialist clinics as part of a variety of support options available to patients with obesity.
We are aware that some of our patients are seeking these drugs privately, if you are unsure if your private provider has informed us that you are taking the medication - please let us know. It is important we have an up to date record of medication so we can ensure safe prescribing of your other medicines.
If you have a raised BMI and would like to discuss options to support you with weight loss do get in touch to arrange a routine appointment. Referral to the specialist tier 3 obesity clinic has specific criteria but locally you can also seek help with obesity and weight loss via the council Health Trainers or Healthwise - details below.
